About the Role

As a DevOps Engineer at Rapyd, you will play a key role in building, automating, and maintaining our global fintech infrastructure. Working closely with cross-functional engineering teams, you will support high platform availability, execute CI/CD pipeline improvements, and write clean Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for multi-account AWS environments. This is a hands-on position where you will solve operational challenges and turn routine tasks into reliable, automated workflows.

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 leverage AI-assisted workflows to eliminate repetitive toil and move at high speed. If you want to grow your skills in a fast-paced environment where automation comes first, this is the place for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Automate Infrastructure: Write clean, maintainable Terraform modules and Python scripts to provision cloud resources and streamline operational tasks.
• Manage Containers: Deploy, monitor, and support microservices running on Kubernetes (EKS).
• Build & Maintain CI/CD Pipelines: Maintain and optimize continuous integration and deployment pipelines to support fast, reliable releases.
• Cloud & Networking: Support multi-account AWS architectures, configuring VPCs, standard routing, and core security controls.
• Observability & Monitoring: Monitor platform performance, build dashboards, and assist with cost optimization using CloudWatch, Datadog, or the ELK stack.
• Compliance & Security: Implement configurations that align with strict security standards and regulations (SOC 2, PCI-DSS).
• Production Delivery: Develop, test, and ship reusable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) into production environments.
• Operational Excellence: Participate in system health monitoring, troubleshoot issues, and contribute to root-cause analysis to ensure high platform uptime.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3–5 years of hands-on experience in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering.
• Strong working knowledge of operating production environments in AWS.
• Solid experience writing Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and practical scripting skills in Python.
• Good understanding of fundamental cloud networking concepts, VPC routing, and security principles.
• Practical experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes / EKS, Docker) and modern CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins).
• A "code-first" mindset focused on reducing manual toil through smart automation.
• Excellent communication skills in English, with the ability to collaborate effectively in distributed global teams.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to fintech, payment processing, or PCI-DSS compliant environments.
• Basic familiarity with multi-cloud concepts (AWS alongside GCP or Azure).
• Certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect/SysOps Administrator or Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) / Administrator (CKA).
