Infrastructure Engineer

Eden Prescott; San Francisco (CA); On-site; Full time

Job description

Our client is building next-generation financial infrastructure that allows businesses to move money as easily as they move data. Their platform provides developers with simple APIs that enable real-time receivables, payables, and money movement directly through a company’s existing banking infrastructure.

By abstracting away the complexity of financial networks, settlements, and compliance, our client allows teams to integrate high-speed payments and financial workflows into their products with just a few lines of code. Their system is designed for real-time settlement, high availability, and enterprise-grade security, delivering the reliability and scale required for mission-critical financial operations.

You’ll work on foundational infrastructure, improve system resiliency, and help shape how we build and operate software as we scale.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and operate core platform and infrastructure services
• Own reliability, performance, and scalability across production systems
• Work hands-on with cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and distributed workloads
• Collaborate closely with a small, experienced engineering team
• Improve internal tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and operational workflows
• Take projects end-to-end — from design through production and ongoing ownership

What We’re Looking For

• 2–4+ years of experience building enterprise or platform-level products
• Experience working at a startup or small, high-ownership team
• Strong background in infrastructure, Kubernetes, and operational systems
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
• Demonstrated solid tenure (typically 2+ years per role)
• Willingness to work in-office 2–3 days per week in Downtown San Jose
• Cloud: AWS
• Distributed Systems: Temporal (production experience is a plus)
• Languages: Python primarily, but we’re language-agnostic
• Dev Tooling: GitHub for code hosting, project management, and CI/CD

Why This Role

If you enjoy building infrastructure that actually gets used, care about operational excellence, and want meaningful ownership in a tight-knit team, this role offers the chance to have real impact.

Compensation: $150,000-$250,000 + significant equity and benefits
