Our cutting-edge technology streamlines income and employment verification, direct deposit switching, and more, eliminating outdated processes and unlocking greater financial opportunities. Backed by $30M from top investors like Kleiner Perkins and NYCA, we are actively disrupting a $2B legacy market. Our leadership team brings extensive expertise from industry giants such as Apple, Carta, Venmo, MX, and Okta, driving the future of financial data access.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our Infrastructure team and build the robust platform that powers Truv. You will be part of a small, senior team focused on high-impact initiatives, ranging from establishing our first formal observability and alerting platform to architecting infrastructure for compliance across regulated sectors. This role involves close collaboration with engineering leadership and cross-functional teams to ensure our infrastructure is reliable, secure, and scales seamlessly with our rapidly growing customer base in the banking, lending, and government sectors.

This is not a "keep the lights on" position. We are looking for a proactive individual who can identify gaps, propose innovative solutions, and drive them to completion. You will have substantial ownership and the full support of a cohesive team to ship meaningful improvements. Expect to deploy changes to production within your first 30 days, as we prioritize fast onboarding and trust our hires to own outcomes early.

What You’ll Do

• Architect and scale our AWS infrastructure, encompassing container orchestration, autoscaling, networking, and cost optimization.
• Build our observability and alerting platform from the ground up, owning its design through production deployment.
• Lead infrastructure builds for compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA), taking responsibility for scoping, building, and shipping these critical initiatives.
• Harden container workloads and secrets management across production, staging, and isolated compliance environments.
• Own the shared infrastructure stack (Postgres, Redis, Celery), proactively identifying and resolving bottlenecks, and adding capacity before incidents occur.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, optimizing for deploy speed, reliability, and security.
• Extend our Terraform codebase to ensure environments remain reproducible and audit-ready, shipping IaC changes weekly.
• Define and own our reliability practices, including SLOs, incident response, post-mortems, and the production tooling to support them.
• Unblock engineering teams by reducing deploy friction, improving development environments, and eliminating toil.
• Participate in a small team's on-call rotation, leading incident response, conducting post-mortems, and ensuring timely fixes.

Who You Are

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering roles.
• Deep expertise with AWS, including hands-on production experience operating and scaling Kubernetes clusters.
• Strong understanding of container orchestration, networking, and security in cloud-native environments.
• Solid Infrastructure as Code experience (Terraform strongly preferred).
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with modern tooling.
• Experience with monitoring and observability platforms, having actively built out this area previously.
• Proven ability to own projects end-to-end – scoping, building, shipping, and operating them.
• Skilled in writing clear decision documents (ADRs, RFCs) and articulating infrastructure tradeoffs to both engineers and leadership.
• Experience building infrastructure from scratch at a fast-moving company, rather than inheriting mature platforms.
• Thrive in startup environments, shipping daily, adapting to shifting priorities, and taking ownership proactively.

Preferred Skills

• Hands-on compliance work (SOC 2 or HIPAA) in a regulated industry such as fintech, healthcare, or government.
• Experience with event-driven autoscaling and async task processing systems (e.g., Celery, SQS, KEDA).
• Experience with isolated or partitioned cloud environments for regulated workloads.
• Python scripting for automation and tooling.
• Experience with relational database administration, tuning, and scaling in production.
• Background in cost optimization and FinOps practices.
• Experience with secrets management and Kubernetes package management.

Benefits

• Fully remote work environment.
• Competitive salary and equity package.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) retirement plan.
• Flexible time off.
• Opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology and innovative customers.
• Chance to shape the future of financial data access.

Salary Range

$100,000 - $140,000 a year
