We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to own the reliability, scalability, and evolution of our AWS infrastructure. You will take a critical look at what we have, identify bottlenecks, propose improvements, and execute on them. You'll stay current with emerging technologies, evaluate trade-offs, and help us stay ahead of the curve. This is a role for someone who doesn't just keep the lights on - you'll architect solutions, drive initiatives, and shape how we build and deploy financial technology at scale.
Your role at xpate:
You'll be the technical leader who shapes how xpate scales. Your decisions on architecture, infrastructure and technology directly impact our ability to serve clients reliably and securely. You'll work in a fast-moving environment where your expertise and initiative create direct impact on our company's success and the trust our clients place in us. This role is heavy on research, innovation, and proposing solutions to complex problems - not just day-to-day maintenance.

Your role at xpate:
- 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.
- 4+ years designing and operating infrastructure in production environments.

- 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.

- 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.
- A dynamic, ambitious environment where compliance is seen as an enabler of growth, not a blocker.

- 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.
