What the job involves
- We’re hiring an Infrastructure Engineer to join our DevSecOps team
- Your team’s mission is to empower engineering teams with secure, cost-effective, and scalable platform capabilities that accelerate software delivery, improve developer experience, and ensure compliance with industry and customer standards

- Your team has a direct influence over the full Software Development Lifecycle at Middesk and overall developer experience (DevEx)
- The systems your team will support include Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, observability, and local development experience

Our take
Middesk helps businesses screen, verify, and run risk and compliance checks on customers and other businesses. The founders developed the business after experiencing first-hand the often laborious process of manual identity verification, a process which has proven a pain point for many businesses historically.
This hands-on experience helped land Middesk seeding from heavyweight investors Sequoia and Accel. The company's focus is on businesses with stringent regulatory risk requirements, with a special focus on businesses involved in financial aspects like credit and payroll. Middesk’s focus on this sector opens them up to a growing, lucrative market as more businesses than ever are demanding services comparable to retail banking, credit unions and community banks.
Testament to the value of their offering is Middesk’s recent partnership with challenger bank tech platform Agora Services. The challenger bank sector is taking off fast too, and if Middesk can establish a strong reputation for servicing this burgeoning industry, they stand to win big.
