Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of DevOps/SRE experience (2+ years with production AWS), with strong expertise in EC2, ECS, RDS/Aurora, VPC, S3, IAM, and CloudWatch
- Deep experience with Terraform and IaC, plus strong CI/CD skills (CircleCI preferred) and modern deployment patterns (blue/green, canary, feature flags)
- Strong containerization, automation, and scripting abilities (Docker, ECS, Ruby/Python/Go/Bash)
- Hands-on observability and Linux systems engineering experience, including performance tuning, monitoring, logging, and secure configuration
- Security and compliance background, ideally in fintech or regulated environments (SOC 2, PCI, ISO 27001), with an understanding of IAM, encryption, secrets mgmt, and secure architecture
- Proven incident leadership, collaboration skills, and a track record of reducing operational toil through automation
What the job involves
- As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you will design, build, and operate the cloud infrastructure that powers our AWS-hosted SaaS platform
- You’ll own the reliability, scalability, security, and efficiency of our environments—enabling rapid, safe delivery of new features while maintaining the high level of trust our customers expect
- You will develop and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines, manage infrastructure-as-code deployments, and ensure consistent, repeatable provisioning across environments
- You’ll monitor system performance, tune resources for cost and efficiency, and respond to production incidents with a blameless, problem-solving mindset
- As part of the engineering team you will collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, data scientists, and other cross functional team members to implement best practices around observability, reliability, and compliance requirements
- You’ll propose architectural improvements, and drive initiatives that enhance system resilience and developer productivity
- Ultimately, you will serve as both a guardian of platform stability and a force multiplier for the engineering organization—building tools, automation, and processes that allow the company to scale confidently and securely
- Own and operate Mudflap’s AWS + Cloudflare infrastructure, ensuring reliability, security, and cost efficiency while supporting scalable, predictable deployments
- Manage and evolve our Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD systems (Terraform, ECS, CircleCI) to improve automation, environment consistency, and developer velocity
- Maintain and enhance observability through Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch, delivering actionable dashboards, alerts, and SLO/SLA metrics
- Lead operational readiness and incident response, including capacity planning, system maintenance, structured RCA, and reliability improvements
- Drive security and compliance initiatives, including IAM hardening, secrets management, encryption, least-privilege access, and SOC 2 technical controls and documentation
- Build tools, automation, and documentation that reduce manual work, increase system consistency, and support a scalable DevOps function
Our take
Owner-operators make up 9% of the truckers on the road, in other words 680,000 small businesses forming the backbone of the U.S’s crucial trucking industry. However, only big fleets get major fuel discounts because they have large gallon volumes, leaving these self-employed truckers to pay full price.
Mudflap is bringing those savings to owner-operators & small fleets. When drivers sign up for the app, they join tens of thousands of users which Mudflap then leverages to drive sales for truck stops which offer discounts on fuel in return. It’s a smart model which massively simplifies the process for earning discounts compared to the old route of a fuel card which requires a credit check.
Stop managers could be sceptical about working with mobile payments in return for a promise of increased demand. However, the company provides its entire network with a Mudflap tablet through which to handle all payment transactions within the network, making it easy for whoever is behind the counter.
