Senior DevOps/SRE Engineer

Credit Genie • Philadelphia, PA

1d • $170,000 - $225,000 • Onsite

About The Position

The Platform team owns the infrastructure Credit Genie runs on: the AWS environment, deployments, observability, and the SOC 2 and PCI-DSS controls that keep customer financial data safe. We're also building the AI infrastructure our engineers use every day. When this team does its job well, engineers ship without worrying about what's underneath them and audits find real controls instead of gaps. As a Senior DevOps / SRE Engineer on this team, you'll own reliability and deployments across our AWS and Kubernetes environment, take real ownership of our compliance work, and help build the AI infrastructure and new product foundations we're investing in next. This is a rare chance to join a fast-growing fintech startup where your work directly protects the systems our users depend on.

Requirements

• DevOps/SRE depth and a genuine backend engineering background. You've written and shipped real software, not only infrastructure code. We don't need you to build customer-facing features, but we need you to think like a software engineer when you design platform, tooling, and systems.
• Strong hands-on AWS, plus production experience with observability/monitoring (Datadog, OpenTelemetry, or similar), CI/CD, compute, and networking.
• Experience managing Kubernetes clusters in multiple environments.
• Experience with Terraform or comparable infrastructure-as-code tooling.
• Experience at an early-stage startup where you built DevOps/infra from scratch, or at a company going through a growth stage where you had to scale it under real pressure.
• Real willingness to own compliance work (SOC 2/PCI-DSS), not just support it.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with AI/LLM tooling, MCP, model gateways, or internal developer platforms for AI.
• Prior SOC 2 and/or PCI-DSS experience, ideally with a specific control or finding you helped remediate.
• Exposure to security engineering.
• Experience with AWS CDK (especially TypeScript).
• Experience reducing vendor lock-in or migrating between data stores at scale (for example, NoSQL to relational).

Responsibilities

• Own reliability, deployments, observability, and incident response across our AWS environment (Kubernetes/EKS, Datadog, CI/CD, networking), supporting backend, mobile, data, ML, and AI engineering teams.
• Maintain, optimize, and improve our AWS infrastructure footprint to align with industry best standards and scalability requirements.
• Own our infrastructure-as-code stack (Terraform/OpenTofu). Hands-on AWS CDK experience is a strong plus.
• Reduce our dependence on any single vendor by favoring open standards and swappable tooling where it makes sense.
• Take real, hands-on ownership of SOC 2 and PCI-DSS work. Not just documenting controls, but building and operating the systems that make them genuinely true in production.
• Partner directly with our security function to close real gaps as they surface, including network segmentation and traffic inspection.
• Make deploys and rollbacks easier, more predictable, and more consistent across the org.
• Consolidate and speed up CI/CD pipelines that currently span multiple tools and are evolving to support services in TypeScript/Node, Python, and Kotlin as our engineering team’s specialized use cases grow.
• Build and extend our internal AI infrastructure: the gateway/middleware layer, MCP integrations, the knowledge graph, and tooling that makes AI use across engineering cheaper, faster, and more accurate.
• Stand up greenfield infrastructure for new products, without inheriting our existing tech debt or migration constraints.
• Share a real on-call rotation and absorb interrupt-driven support in a way that protects everyone's ability to also do focused project work.
• Help us get more efficient and cost-effective as we scale, from investigation through implementation.

Benefits

• 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents on your first day of employment.
• Receive up to $100 per month in fitness reimbursement or enjoy a complimentary full membership to LifeTime Fitness or Equinox.
• 401(k) with a 3.5% match and immediate vesting
• Meal program available for both lunch and dinner
• Pre-tax benefits, including a $1,000 HSA match
• Life and accidental insurance
• Flexible PTO
• Bonus and equity programs
• Short & long term disability insurance
