Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for engineers who have actually built, run, and scaled real production systems in the following areas:
- Deep AWS expertise - networking, compute, IAM, scaling, security
- Strong experience managing infrastructure using Terraform at scale
- Kubernetes & Platform Engineering
- Very strong Kubernetes fundamentals (internals, scheduling, networking, storage)
- Hands-on experience operating Amazon EKS in production environments
- Experience troubleshooting complex, multi-layer Kubernetes issues
- Coding & Automation
- Ability to write clean, maintainable, production-quality code in: Go/ Python
- Strong automation mindset — eliminating toil through code
- CI/CD & GitOps
- Proven experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines
- Hands-on experience with:

What the job involves

- This role is for engineers who own what they build, thrive in high-pressure environments, and continuously raise the reliability and operational bar
- You will work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, automation, and observability, with a strong focus on preventing incidents rather than reacting to them
- End-to-end ownership of highly available, scalable AWS infrastructure
- Design, operation, and continuous improvement of Kubernetes (EKS) platforms
- Reliability of production systems through strong observability, automation, and SLOs
- CI/CD systems that enable safe, fast, and repeatable deployments

- Incident response, root cause analysis, and long-term remediation
- Raising operational standards through automation, documentation, and best practices
Our take
Socure is an identity platform that aims to improve customer identification for digital transactions. The company is part of a growing market, with rivals in this competitive space including Signifyd, Riskified, AppsFlyer, ClearSale, Kount, SEON, and Fraud Fighters.
The engine delivered by Socure encompasses Know Your Customer (KYC), identity fraud detection, and document verification. With it, companies can scale rapidly by onboarding more good customers and preventing online fraud. Additionally, underbanked consumers who have been excluded from online services by outdated ID verification can gain access to critical benefits and services online.
Socure has rapidly escalated in popularity and reached a valuation well over $1 billion. Though not immune from the economic downturn of late, which resulted in two high-profile rounds of lay-offs, the company has secured considerable additional funds that will strengthen its financial position as it moves to capitalise on the ever-growing importance of identity verification and trust.
