• Partner globally: Work with development teams from design through deployment, ensuring reliability and resiliency are built in from day one.
• Lead incident response: Drive on-call processes, conduct root-cause analysis, and continuously reduce MTTR and failure recurrence.
• Future-proof our stack: Evaluate and adopt modern cloud-native technologies (e.g., Kubernetes, Prometheus, AWS/GCP) to keep systems secure and scalable.
• Stress-test and safeguard: Lead disaster recovery, chaos testing, and capacity planning for critical wealth management services.

• 5+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or production engineering roles.
• Strong background in AWS (or GCP/Azure) and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Go, or similar) for automation and tooling.
• Solid Linux administration skills and experience with CI/CD pipelines.
• Proven ability in incident management and troubleshooting distributed systems.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills across remote/global teams.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving fintech/tech startup environment.
• Bonus: Experience supporting regulated financial systems; ability to communicate in Mandarin to collaborate with Asia-based colleagues.

Why Join Us

• Shape the reliability foundation of our U.S. product launch in wealth tech.
• Opportunity to build systems from the ground up and influence technical direction.
