Job description

We're hiring a Senior DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer for a full-time opportunity with a growing software company that develops secure, cloud-based technology for financial services organizations. This role focuses on building and operating highly reliable, secure, and automated infrastructure across AWS and on-premise environments. You'll work heavily with Python, Terraform, AWS, Linux, GitHub Actions, Ansible, and modern CI/CD practices while supporting a highly isolated, multi-customer platform.

This is a great opportunity for a senior infrastructure engineer who enjoys owning complex systems rather than working within a narrow operational lane. You'll have significant influence over automation, cloud architecture, security, disaster recovery, developer infrastructure, and the platform supporting AI-facing services. The environment rewards engineers who are comfortable digging into unfamiliar problems, automating repetitive work, and taking ownership from design through production. You'll also have the opportunity to work with emerging AI infrastructure and modern development tools while solving challenging problems in a security-sensitive environment.
