Job Description
About Truv
Truv is transforming the financial data industry with a secure and real-time API platform for payroll account access. Our technology streamlines income and employment verification, direct deposit switching, and more, eliminating outdated processes and unlocking greater financial opportunities. Backed by $30M from top investors like Kleiner Perkins and NYCA, we’re disrupting a $2B legacy market with cutting-edge innovation and a customer-first approach. Our leadership team brings expertise from industry giants like Apple, Carta, Venmo, MX, and Okta, driving the future of financial data access.
About the Job
We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our Infrastructure team and help build the platform that powers Truv. You’ll join a small, senior team working on high-impact initiatives, from standing up our first formal observability and alerting platform to architecting infrastructure for compliance across regulated sectors. You’ll work closely with engineering leadership and cross-functional teams to ensure our infrastructure is reliable, secure, and scales with our rapidly growing customer base in the banking, lending, and government sectors.
This isn’t a “keep the lights on” role. We need someone who identifies gaps, proposes solutions, and drives them to completion. You’ll have real ownership and the support of a tight team to ship meaningful improvements. In your first 30 days, you’ll deploy changes to production. We onboard fast and trust our hires to own outcomes early.
What You’ll Do
- Architect and scale our AWS infrastructure, including container orchestration, autoscaling, networking, and cost optimization
- Build our observability and alerting platform from the ground up. You’ll own it from design through production deployment
- Lead infrastructure builds for compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA). We need someone who scopes, builds, and ships, not just advises
- Harden container workloads and secrets management across production, staging, and isolated compliance environments
- Own the shared infrastructure stack (Postgres, Redis, Celery). Find bottlenecks, fix them, and add capacity before they become incidents
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, optimizing for deploy speed, reliability, and security
- Extend our Terraform codebase to keep environments reproducible and audit-ready. We ship IaC changes weekly, not quarterly
- Define and own our reliability practices: SLOs, incident response, post-mortems, and the production tooling to back them up
- Unblock engineering teams by reducing deploy friction, improving dev environments, and eliminating toil
- Share on-call with a small team. When things break, you lead the response, run the post-mortem, and make sure the fix ships
Who You Are
- 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering roles
- Deep expertise with AWS, including hands-on production experience operating and scaling Kubernetes clusters
- Strong understanding of container orchestration, networking, and security in cloud-native environments
- Solid Infrastructure as Code experience (Terraform strongly preferred)
- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with modern tooling
- Experience with monitoring and observability platforms. We’re actively building out this area and want someone who’s done it before
- You’ve owned projects end-to-end. Scoped the work, built it, shipped it, and operated it. Not just picked up tickets
- You write clear decision documents (ADRs, RFCs) and can explain infrastructure tradeoffs to both engineers and leadership
- You’ve built infrastructure from scratch at a fast-moving company, not just inherited mature platforms
- You thrive in startups. You ship daily, adapt when priorities shift, and don’t wait to be told what to own
Preferred skills
- Hands-on compliance work (SOC 2 or HIPAA) in a regulated industry like fintech, healthcare, or government
- Experience with event-driven autoscaling and async task processing systems (e.g., Celery, SQS, KEDA)
- Experience with isolated or partitioned cloud environments for regulated workloads
- Python scripting for automation and tooling
- Experience with relational database administration, tuning, and scaling in production
- Background in cost optimization and FinOps practices
- Experience with secrets management and Kubernetes package management
Benefits
- Fully remote
- Competitive salary and equity package
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k)
- Flexible time off
- Work with cutting-edge technology and innovative customers
- Opportunity to shape the future of financial data access
$100,000 - $140,000 a year
