The Role

As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you will own the foundation that enables us to deploy secure, compliant AI systems at major financial institutions fighting financial crime at a massive scale. Our infrastructure is built on a modern, container-native architecture, leveraging Docker and Kubernetes to deliver consistent, auditable deployments across diverse customer environments.

You will work directly with our largest customers-institutions serving over a billion people-to architect, automate, and harden our on-premises and cloud environments to meet the strictest regulatory and performance requirements, including SOC 2 compliance. Your work will be informed by real customer needs and will ship to everyone, so you must build enterprise-grade systems, work effectively with engineering and customer teams, understand financial services compliance, and adapt quickly.

What You’ll Do

  • Own and evolve our Kubernetes infrastructure, including cluster management, service mesh configuration, and container security policies.
  • Design and implement progressive delivery pipelines with canary deployments, automated rollbacks, and deployment health validation.
  • Build and maintain our observability infrastructure in Datadog, including dashboards, monitors, SLOs, and distributed tracing.
  • Drive incident response for high-severity outages and proactively model capacity needs for low-latency AI inference.
  • Architect and automate secure infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code for VPCs, IAM policies, Kubernetes manifests, and private cloud deployments.
  • Maintain and improve the infrastructure controls that support our SOC 2 compliance posture.
  • Lead customer engagements for enterprise rollouts and mentor mid-level engineers on infrastructure best practices.

Must-haves

  • 8+ years in infrastructure engineering or DevOps at high-growth or hyperscale companies.
  • Experience with Docker and Kubernetes, including production cluster management, Helm, and service mesh technologies.
  • A proven track record of architecting and operating AWS (preferred), GCP, or Azure at an enterprise scale.
  • Experience with observability platforms, preferably Datadog (metrics, logs, APM, distributed tracing).
  • A strong background in Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Helm, Kustomize) and safe deployment practices (progressive delivery, canary deployments, GitOps, automated rollbacks).
  • "Battle scars" from leading outages, capacity events, and large-scale incident reviews.
  • Strong programming skills in Python.

Bonus Points

  • Familiarity with TypeScript.
  • Direct involvement in SOC 2 or other compliance audit preparation or remediation.
  • Direct experience with private-cloud or on-premises deployments for regulated customers.
  • Previous experience at startups scaling infrastructure from the early stages to the enterprise level.
  • A background in fintech or building systems for highly regulated industries.
  • Experience with AI/ML infrastructure and model deployment at scale.

Compensation & Benefits

  • $200k - $270k + equity
  • Onsite in our San Francisco office 4 days a week, with one flex day
  • We sponsor H-1B transfers; we're unable to sponsor new H-1B petitions or green cards
  • Comprehensive healthcare, 401k matching, commuter benefits
  • 15 days PTO + holidays, unlimited sick days
  • Flexible leave options
  • Working late? We’ve got you covered with DoorDash and an Uber home
