About the role

We are looking for a mature, talented Principal DevOps Engineer to help us design, build, deploy, and maintain secure and scalable infrastructure to support our rapid growth.

• Communication: You will be excellent at communicating technical topics concisely and practically, both verbally and in writing, in order to get buy-in from team members and move projects along effectively.
• Security: We hold sensitive customer data and money for our users, so building secure infrastructure is of the utmost importance. Everyone across the company is expected to maintain a security mindset.
• Organization: We value making sure things are well-organized and well-documented, whether it’s code or documentation.
