Job description

Managing business expenses shouldn't be a guessing game. Yet many SMEs still lack clear cash flow visibility and spend control. At Budgetly, we're changing that.

We're building an AI-first platform that simplifies expense management and helps businesses make better financial decisions, faster. The goal is simple: help you spend smarter, save time, and grow profitably.

This role is part of a small, fully remote engineering team, reporting to the Team Lead with a light-touch structure. You'll have real autonomy, own your outcomes, and be trusted to deliver.

This is a senior backend engineering role with ownership of our DevSecOps and platform reliability capability.

You'll spend the majority of your time contributing to product development, while dedicating part of your week to the cloud infrastructure, security, automation and reliability foundations that enable the team to ship safely. You'll be our go-to engineer for AWS, CI/CD and DevSecOps.

• Design, build and ship product features using our product and coding agents
• Own and continuously improve our AWS infrastructure across compute, networking, storage and IAM
