Job description

At Beyond Finance, we've made it our mission to help everyday Americans escape the endless cycle of crippling debt and step into a brighter financial future. Through compassionate, individualized care, a culture focused on compliance and ethics, supportive user-centric technology, and customized financial solutions, we've helped over 1 million clients on their path to a brighter future.

While we're proud of what we've already accomplished, we're searching for new collaborators to help us get to the next level! If you're looking to join a forward-thinking, rapidly growing organization with helping people as its number one goal, we want to hear from you.

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer with experience in AWS and containerized environments. Our team runs infrastructure as a software project, deploying cloud resources using Infrastructure As Code and a GITOPS model. We leverage best in class tools, and press to eliminate entire classes of problems, rather than execute one off remediations.

What We're Looking For

  • 2+ years of experience in a DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE role.
  • Working knowledge of Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform/OpenTofu, Helm).
  • A solid DevOps/SDLC mindset, with willingness to grow into project ownership.
  • Experience with AWS and its core services (ECS/EKS, S3, RDS, Lambda, etc.).
  • Experience with CI/CD tools (AWS CodePipeline, Spacelift, CircleCI).
  • Experience with containerization technologies like Docker, ECS, and Kubernetes.
  • Good debugging, monitoring, and triage skills.
  • A track record of following through on assigned tasks and projects.

What You'll Do

  • Support and help maintain our cloud infrastructure, focusing on AWS services.
  • Help implement and maintain our Continuous Delivery pipelines
  • Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration using tools like Terraform or CloudFormation, under the guidance of senior team members.
  • Monitor system performance and help troubleshoot issues.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to support application performance and scalability efforts.
  • Help implement and follow security best practices across our cloud environment.
  • Contribute to a high-quality codebase through code reviews, following best practices, with clean documentation.
  • Execute documented operational tasks (runbooks, standard maintenance procedures, routine deployments) accurately and reliably.
  • Rotating on-call duties

  • Terraform / Open Tofu / Spacelift
  • ECS & EKS / Kubernetes / Helm
  • Cloudflare - Datadog - Wiz - Circle CI - Artillery - Github & GH Copilot - Infisical - Lens - Linear - Pagerduty - Gemini
