Max Koko
Kubernetes Lead at London Stock Exchange
London, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
SeniorMax Koko is a Kubernetes Lead and DevSecOps specialist with nine years of experience architecting and productionising cloud-native platforms across finance, biotech, and telecom sectors. He has a practical track record delivering secure, regulatory-compliant infrastructure for critical systems—having worked on Mastercard/Vocalink’s IPS, identity/security startups, and genomic surveillance at the Wellcome Sanger Institute. Equally comfortable shipping Python-backed services and elegant front-ends, he combines hands-on platform engineering (Kubernetes, Terraform, Flux/Argo, AWS/GCP) with hiring and team-building experience from founding early teams and running his own business. Max recently pivoted toward biotech and longevity projects while leading Kubernetes at LSEG, bringing a rare mix of security-first operations and curiosity about life sciences tooling. He prefers contract roles outside IR35 but is open to senior in-house leadership opportunities where he can drive DevOps strategy as Head of Infra or CTO.
