About the role

  • Take a critical look at our current AWS architecture and identify opportunities for improvement in reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency.
  • Own infrastructure reliability and availability - design monitoring, alerting, and incident response processes that catch issues before they become problems.
  • Design and architect scalable, high-performance systems that handle real-time payment processing and financial transactions at scale.
  • Manage and optimize our databases (Aurora, DynamoDB) and drive infrastructure as code practices, automation, and deployment pipelines that enable the team to ship fast and safely.
  • Stay current with emerging technologies and propose improvements when they fit our domain.
  • Own security and compliance aspects of our infrastructure - understand fintech regulations, data protection, and security best practices.

Requirements

  • 4+ years designing and operating infrastructure in production environments.
  • 2-3+ years with AWS (Lambda, S3, Aurora, RDS, DynamoDB, Cognito, API Gateway, SNS/SQS).
  • Practical experience with Infrastructure as Code.
  • Strong scripting skills and ability to automate operational tasks.
  • Experience with event-driven architectures and asynchronous processing patterns.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to think critically about trade-offs.
  • Ownership mentality: when something breaks, you understand why and prevent recurrence.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and proposing solutions to undefined problems.
  • Nice-to-Have: AWS certifications (AWS DevOps Professional, AWS Solutions Architect Professional).
  • Experience in regulated industries (fintech, banking, healthcare) or deep understanding of compliance and security requirements.
  • Experience with observability and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, CloudWatch).
  • CI/CD pipeline experience.
  • Knowledge of networking fundamentals (VPC, security groups, firewalls, routing).
  • Experience mentoring junior engineers and leading technical initiatives.
Benefits
  • Flexible working hours to support work–life balance.
  • Generous paid time off giving you the balance you need to perform at your best.
  • Extra personal time off for rest and recharge: 12 additional days per year, plus your birthday off.
  • Private health insurance and wellness benefits.
  • Apple hardware and modern work tools to support your workflow.
  • Opportunities to grow, lead, and shape xpate’s future-proof compliance ecosystem.
