As a DevOps Engineer at Rapyd, you will play a central role in designing, automating, and scaling our global fintech infrastructure. You will work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to maintain high availability, build robust CI/CD pipelines, and codify multi-account cloud environments on AWS. This is a hands-on position where you will turn complex operational challenges into reliable, automated solutions

Our DevOps engineers ship with Cursor, Claude, and specialized CLI assistants as first-class tools, handling boilerplate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) generation, Python automation scripts, and CI/CD pipeline troubleshooting. People who thrive here design their own AI-assisted workflows to eliminate repetitive toil and move at high speed. If you’ve ever felt limited by a team that wasn’t automating as fast as you could, this is the environment you’ve been looking for.

Key Responsabilities

• Automate Infrastructure: Write scalable, maintainable Terraform and Python code to manage cloud resources and operational processes.
• Manage Containers: Deploy, scale, and optimize microservices running on Kubernetes (EKS).
• Build CI/CD Pipelines: Design and maintain robust continuous integration and deployment pipelines to ensure fast, reliable releases.
• Cloud & Network Design: Configure multi-account AWS architectures, VPCs, low-level routing, and security controls.
• Observability & Optimization: Drive system performance tuning, monitoring, and cloud cost optimization using CloudWatch, Datadog, or the ELK stack.
• Compliance & Security: Ensure all deployments align with strict internal security standards and regulations (SOC 2, PCI-DSS).
• Production Delivery: Build reusable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules and take them all the way into production.
• Operational Excellence: Participate in system health monitoring and root-cause analysis to ensure maximum platform availability.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 3–5 years of hands-on experience in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering.
• Proven track record of operating production environments in public cloud platforms, with a primary focus on AWS.
• Advanced expertise in Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and solid coding skills in Python.
• Deep understanding of low-level cloud networking concepts, VPC routing, and security frameworks.
• Hands-on experience with container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes / EKS, ECS, or Docker) and modern CI/CD tools.
• A "code-first" mindset with a relentless drive to eliminate operational toil through smart automation.
• Excellent communication skills in English, with the ability to collaborate effectively across distributed, multicultural global teams.

Nice to have:

• Experience in high-volume fintech, payment processing, or PCI-DSS compliant environments.
• Exposure to multi-cloud ecosystems (AWS alongside GCP or Azure).
• Industry certifications such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer or Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA).
