Full Job Description
What you'll own
  • Own the build, test, and deploy pipeline. Our engineers ship fast; your job is to make shipping fast and safe: progressive rollouts, fast rollbacks, deploy confidence.
  • Make and enforce our infrastructure as fully reproducible environments via code.
  • Define and hit uptime targets our bank customers contractually depend on. Build out monitoring, alerting, and incident response so we find problems before our customers do. Mature our on-call practice from heroics into a system.
  • We sell to regulated financial institutions. Change management, access controls, and audit logging need to produce evidence, not just exist. You'll partner closely with our security function on our ongoing SOC 2 and bank due-diligence requirements.
  • Own the cloud bill. Growth shouldn't mean linear infrastructure spend.
What we're looking for
  • 5+ years in DevOps / SRE / platform engineering roles; experience as an early or solo infra hire strongly preferred
  • Deep fluency with a major cloud provider (AWS) and infrastructure-as-code in production
  • You've built CI/CD pipelines other engineers loved, not just tolerated
  • Strong opinions on observability. You've instrumented systems, defined SLOs, and run incident processes
  • Comfortable operating in a regulated or compliance-heavy environment, or eager to learn what that demands (SOC 2, ISO 27001)
  • You default to automation and mechanisms over manual process, and you document what you build
  • Pragmatic: you can tell the difference between what a 50-person company needs now and what a 400-person company needs later
Nice to have
  • Fintech, banking, or other regulated-industry experience
  • Experience with multi-tenant SaaS architecture
  • Database operations experience (backups, migrations, performance)
  • Security-adjacent skills: secrets management, network segmentation, least-privilege IAM


We offer equity, a sponsored 401K, parental leave, and fully paid health, vision, and dental insurance. Additional benefits include unlimited PTO, a remote work stipend, a life-style stipend, and twice-yearly company retreats.
