Role
Who you are
- You bring 5+ years of experience managing large-scale production environments and aren't afraid of architectural complexity
- You have a "code everything" mindset, replacing manual tasks with scalable, DRY Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
- You understand the "why" behind Kubernetes internals and cloud networking, not just the "how" of deployment
- You communicate complex infrastructure concepts clearly to both engineering peers and business stakeholders
- You treat security, secrets management, and observability as core features, not afterthoughts
- Advanced AWS & EKS: Deep proficiency in EC2, RDS, S3, IAM, and VPC networking, specifically within multi-account EKS environments
- Kubernetes Internals: Hands-on experience with CNI, RBAC, Affinity/Taints, and managing complex workloads (StatefulSets/DaemonSets)
- IaC Mastery: Proven ability to scale infrastructure using Terraform and Terragrunt with modular, reusable patterns
- CI/CD & Helm: Expertise in designing secure GitLab CI pipelines and managing versioned Helm charts across environments
- Observability: Proficiency in building dashboards and alerting logic using Prometheus and Grafana
- Linux & Scripting: Strong Bash skills for environment management (Python proficiency is a significant plus)
What the job involves
- As a Senior DevOps Engineer at Rain, you will play a central role in designing, building, and operating our cloud infrastructure as we continue to scale to millions of users globally
- You will work alongside a small, high-performing cloud team to drive automation, improve observability, and ensure the reliability and security of our platform
- This role goes beyond keeping the lights on — you will actively shape how we build and operate infrastructure and influence architectural decisions
- Design, build, and maintain scalable, secure cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform and Terragrunt (IaC, Infrastructure as Code)
- Manage and evolve our Kubernetes (EKS) clusters — including node group management, autoscaling with Karpenter, and workload reliability
- Own and improve our CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI), ensuring fast, reliable, and secure delivery
- Drive observability initiatives: metrics, logging, alerting, and dashboards using Prometheus, Grafana, and related tooling
- Support and evolve our Kafka infrastructure in collaboration with backend engineering teams
- Champion infrastructure-as-code practices, ensuring consistent, reviewed, and well-documented changes
- Respond to production incidents, lead post-mortems, and drive improvements in incident response processes
- Collaborate with backend, security, and product engineering teams to support their infrastructure needs
- Leverage AI-assisted tooling (e.g., GitHub Copilot, AI-powered incident analysis, LLM-based automation) to increase productivity and quality
Application process
- Our interview process tends to take about 4 weeks to complete, but may fluctuate depending on the role
Our take
Financial difficulties continue to be a leading cause of employee stress, and waiting for payday can cause periods of cash drought where workers are vulnerable to overdraft fees and predatory lending. Rain provides employees with access to an amount of their earned wage, which is reimbursed by employers per their regular pay cycle.
Although paying employees more often seems a solution to the payday problem, it is often too demanding for payroll departments, and brings associated costs that companies would rather avoid. Rain is free to employers who offer it as a benefit for their employees, and it integrates with payroll systems easily. Instead of paying high interest on a payday loan, employees pay a small fee for the transaction when they access pay before payday.
Rain is backed by Clear Haven Capital, a company offering balance sheet capital solutions for financial services. Clear Haven has invested in other ascendant fintechs such as Walnut and Torpago, making it a promising partner. Rain's impressive investment will fund its continued US expansion, further develop technology and infrastructure, as well as contribute to increasing marketing efforts.
