Zocks is hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer in Budapest, Hungary. Hybrid.
Zocks provides an AI assistant for financial advisors. The assistant automates administrative tasks such as meeting notes, intake forms, client emails, CRM updates, and financial plans. The company focuses on financial services and other industries that value security and privacy.
Company Overview:
Zocks is an AI platform transforming how financial advisors work. Starting in the US financial services market, we're building technology that supports advisors across their entire workflow - from sales and meeting preparation to note-taking, follow-ups, scheduling, email, document intelligence, reporting, and integrations with the systems they use every day.
Our goal is to take repetitive, manual work out of the advisor-client relationship and turn conversations, documents, and data into actions automatically. As our platform expands across more workflows, customers, and use cases, we're solving increasingly complex challenges around AI, real-time systems, data, security, integrations, and scale.
Zocks is headquartered in San Francisco, while our entire R&D organization - Engineering, Product, Design, Data, and Infrastructure - is based in Budapest. This means our Budapest teams don't just execute on a product built elsewhere: they're directly responsible for shaping the product, technology, and how we build them as we grow.
Location: Budapest, XI., Science Park (On-site Monday to Thursday, Remote on Fridays)
