What we're looking for

We are looking for experienced DevOps Engineers to join our infrastructure team. Your main goal is to build, maintain, and scale our cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines that power our payment platform. You will be responsible for ensuring high availability, security, and performance of our systems while enabling our development teams to deploy with confidence.

Because of the mission-critical nature of our payment infrastructure, reliability and security are paramount. You will architect and implement robust CI/CD pipelines from the ground up, manage our AWS infrastructure, and serve as a site reliability champion ensuring our systems meet the highest standards of uptime and performance.

  • Flexibility: Being comfortable with fast-paced working environments is a must. We seek a highly motivated self-starter that can quickly get up to speed and rise to any challenge.

  • Willingness to learn: We search for champions of learning with a growth mindset. Mistakes are celebrated and part of our road to success.

What you will be doing

  • Design and build complete CI/CD pipelines from scratch using industry best practices

  • Architect and maintain highly available, scalable AWS cloud infrastructure

  • Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi
