Senior DevOps Engineer

The Senior DevOps Engineer owns infrastructure end to end as the first dedicated DevOps hire on a small team building digital account-opening systems for community banks and credit unions. The role combines AWS infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and operational controls to keep a banking-critical platform reliable while enabling fast, safe software delivery.

Infrastructure Ownership

• Own build, test, and deployment pipelines, using progressive rollouts, quick rollbacks, and reliable release mechanisms to support engineering velocity.
• Establish and enforce fully reproducible infrastructure environments through code.
• Define and meet contractual uptime targets for bank customers; develop monitoring, alerting, and incident response that identify problems before customers do.
• Turn on-call operations into a repeatable, sustainable system.
• Partner with security on SOC 2 and bank due diligence, ensuring change management, access controls, and audit logs produce usable compliance evidence.
• Manage cloud costs so infrastructure spending does not grow in direct proportion to business growth.

Experience and Engineering Judgment

• Bring at least five years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering.
• Demonstrate deep AWS knowledge and production experience with infrastructure as code.
• Have built CI/CD pipelines that work well for the engineers using them.
• Show experience instrumenting systems, defining SLOs, and running incident processes, supported by a clear approach to observability.
• Be comfortable in a regulated or compliance-intensive environment, or willing to learn its demands, including SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
• Favor automation and repeatable mechanisms over manual processes, and document implemented systems.
• Make pragmatic infrastructure choices that distinguish the immediate needs of a 50-person business from those of a future 400-person organization.

Preferred Background

• Experience as an early or sole infrastructure hire is strongly preferred.
• Fintech, banking, or other regulated-industry experience.
• Experience with multi-tenant SaaS architecture.
• Database operations experience covering backups, migrations, and performance.
• Security-related skills in secrets management, network segmentation, and least-privilege IAM.
