Every identity check and fraud decision Alloy makes for more than 900 banks and fintechs runs on the infrastructure this team builds. The Infrastructure team is seven senior engineers running 15+ Kubernetes clusters, 100+ databases, and a cell-based architecture that hosts some of the largest banks and fintechs in the country. The job now is making that scale reliable, secure, and operable with far less manual work, moving from fielding requests to automated, self-service platforms that let product engineers provision and ship on their own.
Alloy operates in a hybrid-work environment. We look to foster collaboration and community by having our local employees onsite three days a week.
What you'll be doing
This is a player-coach role. You'll lead and grow the team while staying close to the work, and you'll own the technical and strategic direction for how Alloy runs in production.
- Lead, coach, and develop a team of seven infrastructure and site reliability engineers through 1:1s, career conversations, design reviews, and pairing. Hire and onboard the engineers who join it.
- Write and review production code and Terraform, lead design discussions, and take on scoped technical projects without becoming the team's bottleneck.
- Own the roadmap and delivery for Kubernetes, databases, networking, private connectivity for enterprise clients, CI/CD, and cloud accounts, built to meet audit controls and scale globally.
- Drive the shift from manual operations to automated and AI-assisted operations, from provisioning, upgrades, and migrations to self-service tooling and AI agents for incident triage and routine infrastructure work.
- Set the bar for reliability and resilience across SLOs, disaster recovery, multi-region failover, and capacity. Join the on-call rotation and lead incident response with a focus on preventing the next one.
- Make the architecture calls across infrastructure, reliability, and security, including build-vs-buy and cost tradeoffs.
- Protect the team's focus and keep stakeholders aligned. Manage competing priorities, remove blockers, surface risks early, and say no when it matters.
