You'll be one of our first platform engineers building the foundation for our fintech engineering organization as we scale from startup to enterprise-grade operations. This is not a 'keep the lights on' operations role. You'll build internal products - self-service tools and automated workflows that make secure, compliant infrastructure invisible to product teams. Your customers are engineers; your metrics are their velocity and our security posture.

  • Design self-service infrastructure using AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, Lambda, IAM) and Pulumi/TypeScript
  • Create automation that eliminates manual work
  • Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines for fast, safe deployments
  • Establish monitoring, alerting, and observability systems
  • Build documentation and runbooks that empower teams to self-serve
  • Work with product teams to understand friction points
  • Balance fintech compliance requirements with developer experience
  • Participate in incident response and postmortems
  • Optimize system performance, scalability, and cost
  • Implement security controls that satisfy regulatory requirements
  • Gather feedback, measure adoption, drive improvements
  • Partner with engineers and stakeholders to set technical strategy
  • Explain technical decisions clearly to non-technical audiences
  • 5+ years infrastructure, platform, or DevOps engineering
  • Production AWS (EC2, ECS/Fargate, RDS, S3, Lambda, VPC, IAM)
  • Infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi or Terraform - we use Pulumi/TypeScript)
  • CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar)
  • Containers (Docker, ECS, or Kubernetes)
  • Monitoring tools (Datadog, Prometheus, CloudWatch, or similar)
  • Strong coding skills in Ruby, Python, Go, TypeScript, or similar
  • Track record building platforms that teams actually adopted
  • Fintech or regulated industry experience (SOC 2, PCI-DSS)
  • Security automation or compliance tooling
  • 0→1 infrastructure building experience
  • Data and ML infrastructure or MLOps background
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage - Kikoff covers the full cost of health insurance for the employee!
  • Visa sponsorship available: Kikoff is willing to provide sponsorship for H1-B visas and U.S. green cards for exceptional talent.
