## About the Role

* 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

## Description

* 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.
