About the Job

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our Infrastructure team and help build the platform that powers Truv. You'll join a small, senior team working on high-impact initiatives, from standing up our first formal observability and alerting platform to architecting infrastructure for compliance across regulated sectors. You'll work closely with engineering leadership and cross-functional teams to ensure our infrastructure is reliable, secure, and scales with our rapidly growing customer base in the banking, lending, and government sectors.

This isn't a "keep the lights on" role. We need someone who identifies gaps, proposes solutions, and drives them to completion. You'll have real ownership and the support of a tight team to ship meaningful improvements. In your first 30 days, you'll deploy changes to production. We onboard fast and trust our hires to own outcomes early.

What You’ll Do

• Architect and scale our AWS infrastructure, including container orchestration, autoscaling, networking, and cost optimization


• Build our observability and alerting platform from the ground up. You'll own it from design through production deployment


• Lead infrastructure builds for compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA). We need someone who scopes, builds, and ships, not just advises


• Harden container workloads and secrets management across production, staging, and isolated compliance environments


• Own the shared infrastructure stack (Postgres, Redis, Celery). Find bottlenecks, fix them, and add capacity before they become incidents


• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, optimizing for deploy speed, reliability, and security


• Extend our Terraform codebase to keep environments reproducible and audit-ready. We ship IaC changes weekly, not quarterly


• Define and own our reliability practices: SLOs, incident response, post-mortems, and the production tooling to back them up


• Unblock engineering teams by reducing deploy friction, improving dev environments, and eliminating toil


• Share on-call with a small team. When things break, you lead the response, run the post-mortem, and make sure the fix ships

Who You Are

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering roles


• Deep expertise with AWS, including hands-on production experience operating and scaling Kubernetes clusters


• Strong understanding of container orchestration, networking, and security in cloud-native environments


• Solid Infrastructure as Code experience (Terraform strongly preferred)


• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with modern tooling


• Experience with monitoring and observability platforms. We're actively building out this area and want someone who's done it before


• You've owned projects end-to-end. Scoped the work, built it, shipped it, and operated it. Not just picked up tickets


• You write clear decision documents (ADRs, RFCs) and can explain infrastructure tradeoffs to both engineers and leadership


• You've built infrastructure from scratch at a fast-moving company, not just inherited mature platforms


• You thrive in startups. You ship daily, adapt when priorities shift, and don't wait to be told what to own

Preferred skills

• Hands-on compliance work (SOC 2 or HIPAA) in a regulated industry like fintech, healthcare, or government


• Experience with event-driven autoscaling and async task processing systems (e.g., Celery, SQS, KEDA)


• Experience with isolated or partitioned cloud environments for regulated workloads


• Python scripting for automation and tooling


• Experience with relational database administration, tuning, and scaling in production


• Background in cost optimization and FinOps practices


• Experience with secrets management and Kubernetes package management

Benefits

• Fully remote


• Competitive salary and equity package


• Health, dental, and vision insurance


• 401(k)


• Flexible time off


• Work with cutting-edge technology and innovative customers


• Opportunity to shape the future of financial data access
