Senior DevOps Engineer

Location: New York, NY (Hybrid / Remote-Friendly)

About the Role

We’re building next-generation financial infrastructure—and we’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to help design, scale, and harden the platforms that power real-time, high-volume financial systems.

This is a hands-on, senior-level role where you’ll own cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, platform reliability, and automation across a modern, cloud-native environment. You’ll partner closely with backend engineers, security, and data teams to ensure our systems are fast, resilient, secure, and built to scale.

If you thrive in environments where code meets infrastructure, and where uptime, latency, and security actually matter—this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

Architect, build, and operate highly available, low-latency cloud infrastructure for mission-critical fintech systems
Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines that enable fast, safe, and automated deployments
Own infrastructure as code using Terraform (and/or Pulumi, Crossplane)
Build and operate Kubernetes-based platforms (EKS/GKE/AKS) at scale
Implement modern observability across metrics, logs, and traces (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog)
Drive reliability through automation, self-healing systems, and proactive monitoring
Partner with security teams to embed DevSecOps best practices (IAM, secrets management, policy as code)
Lead incident response, postmortems, and reliability improvements (no-blame culture)
Optimize performance, cost, and scalability across cloud environments
Influence architecture decisions and mentor junior engineers

Tech Stack (What You’ll Work With)

We care more about depth and fundamentals than checking every box—but expect exposure to:

Cloud: AWS (preferred), GCP or Azure
Containers & Orchestration: Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD, Kustomize
Infrastructure as Code: Terraform (must-have), Pulumi, Crossplane
CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Argo Workflows, CircleCI
Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Loki
Languages: Go, Python, Bash (strong scripting required)
Security: IAM, Vault, SOPS, OPA, policy-as-code
Data & Messaging: Kafka, event-driven systems, streaming architectures
Operating Systems: Linux (deep understanding required)

What We’re Looking For

5–8+ years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE roles
Proven experience running production systems at scale
Strong Kubernetes and cloud-native architecture experience
Expert-level Infrastructure as Code mindset
Solid programming skills (not just YAML)
Experience supporting high-availability, regulated, or security-sensitive environments (fintech a plus)
Strong ownership mentality—you build it, you run it, you improve it
Excellent communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally

Why Join

Build infrastructure for real-world financial systems with meaningful scale
Work with modern, best-in-class technologies—no legacy ops
Strong engineering culture with real ownership and autonomy
Competitive compensation + bonus
High trust, low ego, no-blame environment
