Senior Software Engineer – Platform & Infrastructure
ModernFiEnd-to-end deposit management for financial institutions
• Own and evolve the reliability posture of the ModernFi network (observability, incident response, SLOs, and on-call practices). • Lead the buildout of a more advanced release pipeline with merge queues, feature-flag tooling, and per-domain release gates for our highest-stakes services across multiple environments. • Take ownership of our cloud platform, Pulumi modules, AWS account structure, identity, networking, and the tooling product engineers build on. • Drive our security and compliance posture: Vanta remediation, SOC 1/2 readiness, vulnerability scanning, secrets and key management, and hardening across the stack. • Upgrade how ModernFi does on-call: the tooling around it, the runbooks behind it, the rotations that staff it, and the postmortems that close it out while participating in the infrastructure on-call rotation yourself. • Partner closely with our product engineering pods to understand where the platform creates drag, and ship the abstractions that let them move faster *and* more safely. • Cultivate a culture of operational excellence through code reviews, design discussions, mentorship, and the steady raising of our collective bar for what production-grade looks like.
