Senior Infrastructure Engineer
Full Time
Spreedly is the world’s first, and leading, Payments Orchestration solution. Our vision is that the world is better with a diversified, inclusive payment ecosystem. Our mission is to accelerate commerce with an open, secure, and flexible payment platform that welcomes all payment participants. Backed by Spectrum Equity, with a $75M investment, Spreedly is experiencing rapid growth.
Connecting to multiple payment services, known as payment orchestration, is the new standard. With Spreedly’s PCI-compliant cloud solution, merchants can connect to multiple payment services simultaneously, optimize their payment stack, control card data, and accept alternative payment types.
Our employees help us execute against our vision through building a culture focused on autonomy, transparency, and collaboration in a dynamic, high-growth organization.
Infrastructure Engineering at Spreedly is a team of teams whose focus is designing, deploying, and operating the foundational systems and platform primitives on which Spreedly’s services run. Building a high-performance payments platform requires engineers with expertise in distributed systems architecture, infrastructure as a service, data durability, and information security best practices. We are working with and storing credit card data, so thinking about security is a way of life at Spreedly, as is building sustainable processes to keep things safe(and our auditors happy)!
As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Spreedly, you will lead ambitious projects, drive deep architectural discussions and decisions, and you will mentor other team members within the Engineering Organization. You deeply understand what it takes to build highly available, performant, and durable cloud architecture. We regularly work with internal engineering and product teams as well as external vendors in pursuit of improving our developer experience and satisfying our customer needs. We hope to find someone that brings a broad set of technical skills, development and automation-focused mindset, and a diverse view to our team as we expand our infrastructure in support of our goals.
You Have
- A desire to build, operate, and scale systems on the AWS cloud.
- Experience with DevOps and/or GitOps and an understanding of CI/CD methods.
- Familiarity with infrastructure as code(we use Terraform, Ansible, Packer, Nomad, etc).
- A solid understanding of Amazon Linux and Ubuntu distributions and their ecosystems.
- Experience with databases(CockroachDB, Postgres) and middleware infrastructure(Kafka).
- A desire to instrument everything using platforms like Datadog, Sentry, and Sumo Logic.
- Experience with containers and container orchestration(Nomad, Docker etc).
- The ability to deliver solutions in support of applications written in Ruby on Rails and Elixir.
- Some programming proficiency in Python or Go. You might even be a software engineer with a focus or passion for infrastructure!
- A desire to mentor other engineers and foster a collaborative environment to improve our software development processes.
- A willingness to be a generalist and dig into new things you've never done before.
- Excellent written communications, and a track record of documenting your work.
- A pragmatic, take-action approach but you’re open to failing fast and pivoting.
- An ability to sort out immediate priorities from the ever-shifting needs of a rapidly growing organization.
