The Role

Wysh is seeking an experienced Infrastructure Engineer to join our dynamic engineering team. You'll be a key contributor to our build/deployment and production infrastructure, working closely with our Engineering team under the guidance of our Chief Architect. This is a hands-on role where you'll have direct ownership over the systems you build and support, working closely with a small, collaborative team. This role offers flexibility with remote work options within the U.S, Canada or Latin America (EST or CST preferred). The base salary range for this role is $130k – $140k USD, with final compensation determined by experience, skill set, and region.

We are looking for individuals who are comfortable taking ownership of their work, have a knack for learning new technologies, and can thrive in a fast-paced environment. This is a great opportunity for someone who can operate as a generalist, being a master at offering support to team members while also working independently. Startup experience is a plus.

What You’ll Do:

• Create and maintain systems to develop, build, test, and deploy in-house applications and vendor solutions on cloud infrastructure
• Build software and systems to manage platform infrastructure and applications using tools like Terraform, Kubernetes, Vault, and AWS
• Collaborate with engineers to provide a robust “you build it, you run it” platform supported by the infrastructure team
• Troubleshoot priority incidents, facilitate postmortems & ensure permanent closure of incidents by treating root causes
• Constantly re-evaluate our product to improve architecture, knowledge models, user experience, performance, and stability - automating improvements and minimizing manual upkeep along the way

What You’ll Bring:

• 3+ years of experience in fintech, SaaS, or similar environments, with a track record of taking end-to-end ownership of build/deployment infrastructure as part of a small, collaborative engineering team.
• Strong understanding of a YAML-based CI tool like CircleCI
• Real-world experience with build and deployment of Docker/OCI container images into Kubernetes
• Ability to program in a programming/scripting language, such as Ruby, Go, or Elixir. Elixir is a bonus as we use it for other internal software, but understanding how to read and write some code is key
• Understand modern team software development and testing tools and practices, including CI/CD and “gitops” approaches
• Knowledgeable of engineering best practices from appropriate testing paradigms to effective peer code reviews and resilient architecture
