About the role

We're hiring a mid-level DevOps engineer who likes owning real problems end-to-end, from infrastructure design and pipeline architecture through to incident response and on-call. You already use AI as part of how you think, build, test, and ship.

You'll keep the infrastructure that moves money in production resilient and fast, build the multi-region cloud and CI/CD layers Xe's squads run on, and partner with engineering to ship AI-accelerated developer tooling. You'll work in a small team with direct access to engineering, architecture, and security, own infrastructure in production, and partner with architects and team leads on cross-domain reliability decisions.

What you'll do

Own CI/CD pipeline reliability and developer experience across squads, including release gating, delivery automation, and rollback safety

Build and operate multi-region cloud infrastructure on AWS, including identity (Cognito), networking, and disaster recovery

Partner with engineering and architecture on AI-accelerated SDLC tooling adoption across the org

Own production observability and incident response for shared infrastructure, including on-call rotation

Use agentic coding tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or equivalent) daily across the SDLC

What we're looking for

Must-have

  • 3 to 6 years building and operating production infrastructure end-to-end
  • Strong experience with AWS in production, including multi-region setups, IAM, networking, and managed services
  • Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code tooling
  • CI/CD pipeline ownership (GitHub Actions or equivalent), including release gating and delivery automation
  • Container orchestration experience in production
  • Experience operating a production observability and monitoring stack, including SLO definition and alerting
  • Production incident response experience, including on-call rotation
  • Daily use of agentic coding tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or equivalent) across the SDLC
  • Strong written and verbal communication

Nice-to-have

  • Experience with payments, FX, or regulated-industry infrastructure
  • Experience with cloud-native identity platforms
  • Experience with security and compliance in regulated environments
  • Experience with enterprise database resilience (Oracle or equivalent)
  • Experience in a globally distributed team with 24/7 ops coverage
