Role
Who you are
- Platform & DevOps Mastery: 7+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering, with a demonstrable track record of building infrastructure and tools for other engineers
- Software Engineering Fluency: Unlike traditional ops roles, this position requires strong coding skills. You are proficient in a high-level language (e.g., Go, Python) and use it to build automation, CLIs, or platform plugins
- Cloud Native Expertise: Deep, hands-on mastery of AWS and Kubernetes. You understand how to extend Kubernetes (e.g., Operators, CRDs) to simplify developer workflows
- IaC at Scale: Expert-level knowledge of Terraform. You don't just write state files; you design reusable module hierarchies and manage remote state strategies
- Strategic Vision: You understand the balance between standardization (governance) and developer autonomy (innovation), and can design systems that support both
- Security Mindset: Experience working in regulated environments (FinTech preferred). You understand DevSecOps and how to automate compliance checks (SAST/DAST) within the pipeline
- Empathy & Communication: You possess excellent communication skills and a "customer-first" attitude, capable of bridging the gap between complex infrastructure and application development
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Staff Infrastructure Engineer to join the team responsible for building the core engine of our technical velocity
- Unlike a traditional SRE role focused on operating production systems, your mission is to build the self-service tooling that empowers our product engineers to ship code securely, rapidly, and autonomously
- You will work closely with the Senior Manager of Platform Engineering to treat our infrastructure as a product and our developers as customers
- You will architect the "Golden Paths" that remove friction, reduce cognitive load, and enable our teams to scale in lockstep with our rapid business growth
- Golden Path Architecture: Design and implement the "Golden Paths"—standardized, automated templates for microservices and infrastructure that allow developers to deploy safely and quickly without needing deep infrastructure expertise
- Self-Service Tooling: Develop the CLI tools, portals, or API interfaces that abstract the complexity of our cloud infrastructure, allowing developers to self-serve resources
- Infrastructure as Software: Develop and maintain a library of modular, testable, and versioned Terraform modules that serve as the building blocks for all engineering teams
- CI/CD Orchestration: Architect robust, reusable GitHub Actions workflows and GitOps pipelines (e.g., ArgoCD) that automate the entire delivery lifecycle, enforcing quality gates automatically
- Automated Governance: Implement "Compliance by Design" using tools like Open Policy Agent (OPA) to automate security and compliance controls (e.g., SOC2, ISO) directly into the delivery pipeline
- Observability Vending: Working closely with SRE, ensure that every service deployed via the Golden Path automatically inherits standard logging, metrics (Prometheus), and dashboards (Grafana) without manual configuration
