Requirements:

  • Minimum of 7 years experience in SRE, DevOps, or backend infrastructure roles, with deep expertise in Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS in production environments
  • Strong scripting/programming ability (TypeScript and/or another language used for tooling, automation, or services) to build internal tools and automate operational work
  • Practical expertise with PostgreSQL operations at scale, including replication, backup/recovery, performance tuning, and patterns that protect correctness in financial systems
  • Practical expertise with Redis for caching, coordination, rate-limiting, and distributed locking, including operating it reliably in production
  • Strong command of observability tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK, or equivalent) and a track record of building monitoring that catches problems early

  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, compliance, and external partners
