About This Job
This is an onsite position based in either San Diego, CA or Centennial, CO. Remote or hybrid work is not available.Axos Bank is hiring a DevOps Engineer to run the platforms behind the bank’s automation and AI work and keep them reliable, secure, and well governed as adoption grows across lines of business. This is a hands-on engineering seat: deploying, upgrading, hardening, and monitoring the platforms and the Linux, container, and database infrastructure they run on, across Dev, QA, UAT, and Prod.
The platforms serve citizen developers and engineering teams in a regulated bank, so reliability, access control, and audit evidence matter as much as features. You will work with Infrastructure and Security, and help set the standards the platforms run under.Responsibilities:
Run the platforms
- Deploy, upgrade, and operate the platforms across Dev, QA, UAT, and Prod, including scaling, patching, and version management
- Plan and carry out upgrades and migrations with minimal service impact
- Evaluate and onboard new automation and AI platform capabilities
Infrastructure
- Operate the Linux hosts and Docker containers the platforms run on: hardening, patching, capacity, and performance tuning, in partnership with Infrastructure
- Operate the PostgreSQL databases behind the platforms: backup and restore, replication and failover, and performance tuning
- Support the Redis and queue workloads the platforms depend on
Reliability
- Instrument the platforms for health, performance, and capacity using the enterprise observability stack; build dashboards, alerts, and runbooks
- Take part in incident response and root-cause analysis for platform events
Automation and governance
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code (Terraform or equivalent) for platform configuration and deployment
- Integrate platforms with enterprise identity, secrets management, and source control; manage platform-level access and credentials
- Help define and document hardening baselines, runbooks, and standards; work with InfoSec on access reviews, secret rotation, and control evidence for audit and examination
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree or higher in a related field
- 5+ years of hands-on platform or infrastructure engineering in an enterprise environment
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform or equivalent) and CI/CD.
- Linux administration and container operations (Docker).
- Operating enterprise platforms in a regulated environment (financial services, healthcare, or similar), including change management.
- PostgreSQL run in production: backup and restore, replication, and performance tuning (administration skills, not a dedicated DBA role).
- Python or JavaScript/TypeScript for automation.
Preferred
- Redis operations (Sentinel or Cluster, persistence, eviction policy)
- Entra ID / OIDC integration, SSO, and RBAC
- Audit and regulatory examination support
- Experience with n8n, Retool, or a comparable workflow platform, or an intelligent document processing platform such as Base64.ai
- Splunk or comparable observability tooling; familiarity with ServiceNow, Azure DevOps, and iGrafx
- Banking or financial services background; mentoring junior engineers
