Job description

With 30 years of fintech leadership, Origence empowers credit unions with innovative SaaS lending solutions that make lending more accessible, efficient, and competitive. We invest in our people and foster a culture of innovation, ownership, and continuous improvement. As we help shape the future of lending, we're leveraging AI to enhance the way we work and create value for our clients, and we're seeking individuals who are excited by emerging technologies and eager to use them responsibly to solve problems and drive impact.

The Sr. Platform Engineer will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining internal tools and platform capabilities that accelerate software delivery across the organization. This is a software engineering role — you will write production-quality code, design APIs, build automation frameworks, and develop self-service tooling applied to platform and infrastructure problems. You will work across CI/CD pipeline engineering, observability platforms, internal developer portals, infrastructure automation, and developer productivity tooling.

***Please note, this position will follow a Hybrid schedule with a minimum of 3 days in the office/week***

The Origence Mindset

At Origence, we are self-aware, adaptable, and relentlessly focused on creating meaningful impact. We think like owners, embrace complexity and ambiguity, challenge conventional thinking, and continuously pursue smarter, more effective ways to solve problems and advance the business. If this mindset reflects who you are, you may be exactly who we're looking for.

How You'll Contribute:

• Build and maintain YAML-based CI/CD pipeline templates in Azure DevOps used by dozens of teams and hundreds of services.
• Design and develop internal tools, CLIs, and REST APIs that enable self-service for product development teams (e.g., automated onboarding, pipeline generation, environment provisioning).
• Write and maintain Terraform modules for Azure cloud infrastructure, including Container Apps, API Management, networking, and disaster recovery.
• Extend and integrate Datadog monitoring, build custom dashboards, automate alerting, and instrument platform telemetry using OpenTelemetry patterns.
• Help build and evolve our Internal Developer Portal (IDP) to give developers a unified view of their services, deployments, health, and documentation.
• Help legacy systems adopt modern CI/CD, Blue/Green deployments, and DR capabilities through template-driven approaches.
• Build automated compliance gates and security checks that let teams move fast without moving dangerously.
• Collaborate directly with product developers to understand workflows, reduce friction, and deliver platform capabilities that meet real needs.
• Spend the majority of your time actively designing and coding. A portion of your time will be spent researching new technology and mentoring other engineers.

What Makes You a Great Fit:

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related industry experience.

Experience

• A minimum of 5 years of professional software engineering experience — you have built and shipped production applications, not just configured infrastructure.
• Strong proficiency in at least one general-purpose language: C#/.NET, Python, or TypeScript/Node.js.
• Experience with software engineering fundamentals: design patterns, automated testing, code review, version control, and CI/CD as a practitioner.
• Azure cloud experience — working knowledge of Azure services (Container Apps, App Services, Azure DevOps, API Management, or similar).
• Hands-on experience with Terraform (preferred) or equivalent Infrastructure-as-Code tools.
• Experience designing and building REST APIs or automation services.
• Recent experience utilizing Generative AI techniques including GitHub Copilot and Prompt Engineering techniques.

Preferred Experience:

• Experience building internal developer tools, platforms, or productivity tooling.
• Datadog, OpenTelemetry, or other observability platform experience.
• Experience with developer portals (Backstage, Cortex, or similar).
• Familiarity with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Azure Container Apps).
• Experience working in a platform engineering, SRE, or developer experience team.
• PowerShell scripting for Windows-based enterprise environments.
• Financial services or regulated industry experience.

Your Strengths & Expertise

• Ownership and accountability mindset with strong decision-making, communication, and analytical skills.
• Can effectively lead technical initiatives and collaborate on design/requirements while gathering the necessary information for development.
• Ability to write clear documentation, explain technical decisions, and collaborate across teams.
• Knowledge of various LLMs, Agentic AI, RAG, MCP and incorporating these technologies from both automation and feature engineering standpoints.
• Understanding of Agile methodologies, Domain Driven Design, and event-driven architecture approaches.
• Deep expertise in their chosen technology stack with broader knowledge of various programming languages, frameworks, and tools.
• Ability to break up larger projects into individual pieces, assess complexity of each piece, and balance work amongst team members.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced / flexible environment that practices SAFe / Agile based SDLC.
• Sets high standards for behavior and performance, models the values and principles of the organization, and inspires others through action.

Bring your ideas, your curiosity, and your unique perspective. We'll provide the opportunities, tools, and support to help you succeed.

How We Invest in You:

• 401(k) with 8% Company Match
• Competitive Paid Time Off
• Microsoft Copilot and AI-Enabled Tools
• A culture of connection, celebration, and growth through employee-driven programs, company events, holiday celebrations (Star Wars Day), monthly town halls, quarterly company meetings, and team traditions like Bring Your Kid to Work Day

The starting salary range for this full-time position is $128600 - $160800 per year. We offer competitive compensation designed to recognize the value, experience, and contributions each team member brings to Origence.
