TL;DR · Software Engineer, Production Engineering

As a Software Engineer, Production Engineering, you will join the infrastructure ownership layer to build and operate critical systems across compute, storage, messaging, and observability stacks. You will function as a full software engineer specializing in infrastructure, meaning you will write production code, own systems end-to-end, and drive architectural changes for high-stakes financial transactions. Your daily work involves managing container orchestration, networking, load balancing, and data infrastructure while transitioning the platform toward a cellular architecture to support international markets and regulated environments. You will also build developer tooling, enable AI-native engineering patterns, and manage on-call rotations. The role requires proficiency in distributed systems at production scale, experience with major cloud providers like AWS, knowledge of observability practices such as SLOs, and comfort using Terraform modules and AI coding agents to solve complex scalability problems.
