Experience designing and building scalable, event-driven systems using messaging frameworks (Pub/Sub, Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.)
Working experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure, etc.)
Solid grasp of mature engineering practices (CI/CD, testing, secure coding) and SDLC methodologies (Agile, Scrum, LEAN, DevOps)

FinTech experience
Kubernetes experience
AWS, Azure, or other cloud-based certification(s) strongly preferred

What You Will Be Doing

Build technical strategy for complex, open-ended infrastructure problems and drive cloud architecture, design, and implementation
Lead infrastructure-as-code projects (Terraform, Ansible), building APIs and tools engineering teams use for reliable, repeatable cloud deployments
Design and troubleshoot AWS and Kubernetes-based infrastructure for robustness, security, and observability
Own features and systems end-to-end, from design through production delivery, and improve the health of surrounding systems
Partner with product managers, designers, and other engineering teams to conceptualize and build new features
Support production issue resolution and build tests that ensure the quality, performance, and scalability of the application
Represent engineering in cross-functional sessions and drive improvements to engineering standards, tooling, and processes
