What you need

  • 5+ years in a DevOps, Platform/Infrastructure, or SRE role, with a proven track record operating large-scale, high-availability, high-performance systems in production.
  • Deep hands-on experience designing cloud architecture on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as the primary cloud - landing zones, networking, IAM and high-availability topology.
  • Strong Infrastructure-as-Code skills with Terraform, structuring large codebases across multiple environments, with GitOps as a first principle and least-privilege as a default mindset.
  • Proven experience building CI/CD pipelines for IaC - automated plan/apply, code review, Policy-as-Code, drift detection and safe rollout.
  • Significant production experience with Kubernetes (ideally GKE) and packaging/deploying workloads with Helm.
  • Solid cloud and L3/L4-L7 networking fundamentals (VPCs, routing, load balancing, DNS, TLS, interconnects) and comfort debugging cross-service connectivity.

Nice to have

  • Policy-as-code and IaC quality tooling (OPA/Conftest, Checkov, tflint, Atlantis, or similar).
  • Experience managing Terraform state, module registries and versioning at scale across many teams.
  • Experience building self-serve developer platforms and internal golden paths (e.g. with Backstage, Tilt, or similar).
  • Experience with the Alloy collector and with incident tooling such as Rootly.
  • Working proficiency in Go for automation and tooling.

What you get

  • Competitive Salary & Stock Options
  • Health Benefits
  • New Hire Home-Office Setup: One-time USD $500
  • Monthly Stipend: USD $150 per month via a Brex Card

Worth weighing

  • No salary listed in the posting.
  • The role requires participation in a Follow-The-Sun on-call rotation, which may involve working outside standard hours.
  • The position emphasizes a broad skill set rather than specialization in a single tool, which may require adaptability.
  • The company operates in a regulated fintech environment, which may involve additional compliance responsibilities.
