About Lively
Lively set out to raise the bar on benefit solutions, because we believe no one should have to sacrifice personal wellness for financial wellness. While traditional benefits focus more on transactions and less on the humans using them, Lively harnesses user-centric design and innovative technology to deliver an effortless experience for employers and account holders alike. Our modern HSA is consistently top-rated, and we have since expanded our offerings to provide a full suite of other benefits and services for companies, consumers, and financial institutions.
Lively is a remote-first company, headquartered in San Francisco with employees across the US. Come join us and help make getting the value out of your benefits as simple as it should be.
About the Role
We're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer based in Portugal to help us run and evolve the platform behind Lively's HSA, FSA, card and benefits products. You'll own infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes end to end – from Terraform and GitOps delivery to observability, security and disaster recovery – working with a small, senior team and engineers across the US and Europe.
Responsibilities
- Design, build and operate AWS infrastructure with Terraform across multiple accounts and environments
- Operate and upgrade production EKS clusters; manage workloads with Helm and ArgoCD (GitOps)
- Improve our GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines and self-hosted runner fleet
- Own observability (Prometheus, Thanos, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and take part in the on-call rotation
- Drive security and compliance work: vulnerability remediation, runtime security, access controls and PCI/SOC 2 evidence
- Lead resilience initiatives such as multi-region disaster recovery and data replication
- Partner with engineering, data and security teams to make shipping fast and safe
- Write clear docs and runbooks, and mentor others on infrastructure best practices
Skills & Experience
- 5+ years in DevOps, SRE or platform engineering roles
- Strong AWS experience (VPC, IAM, EKS, RDS, EC2, S3)
- Production experience with Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm and ArgoCD (or similar GitOps tooling)
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions or equivalent
- Solid Linux and scripting skills (Bash, plus Python, TypeScript or Go)
- Experience with monitoring, alerting and incident response
- Security-first mindset; fintech, healthcare or PCI experience is a strong plus
- Excellent written and spoken English; able to overlap a few hours a day with US time zones

We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the qualifications, but feel you would be a good fit for the position.

What We Do
Out-of-pocket healthcare costs are skyrocketing and every day, people all across America are forced to make difficult decisions about their health. Lively was created because we saw through firsthand experience what it means to sacrifice your personal health due to your financial health. We knew there had to be a better way to afford these rising costs and discovered how powerful the Health Savings Account (HSA) is to not only save on the costs of healthcare today, but plan for the costs of tomorrow. Healthcare is complicated, your HSA doesn’t have to be. We create beautifully designed software with a simple and intuitive user experience to help you get the most out of your HSA.
