Possible Finance•Seattle, WA

About The Position

Since our founding, we have redefined how people approach small-dollar loans—delivering over $1 billion in funding to more than 1 million customers, issuing over 4 million loans, and saving our customers more than $500 million. At Possible, we’re building a new type of consumer finance company; one that helps our customers stay out of debt rather than profit from their staying in it. We are a Public Benefit Corporation with the mission to help communities unlock economic mobility through affordable credit products crafted to improve financial health for generations. Join the team that’s making our goal a reality. About the Role We're hiring our first dedicated DevOps/Infrastructure Engineer. You'll inherit a solid foundation—our infrastructure is already in Terraform, deployments are automated, and things aren't on fire—but it's been built and maintained by generalist engineers alongside their other work. This role exists to take ownership, bring deeper expertise, and evolve our infrastructure and security practices as we scale. You'll have significant autonomy to shape how we approach infrastructure, deployment, and security going forward.
