About the role

You'll engineer and operate the infrastructure behind a live global payments platform in a high-security, high-uptime PCI DSS environment.
One day you're working on load balancing and edge security for a payments API processing millions of transactions, the next you're deep in a virtualization cluster or in a datacenter cage.
If you're an experienced engineer who wants to work on infrastructure where uptime actually matters, and to keep growing across a wider stack than most companies can offer, this is that role.

We own the whole stack, from bare-metal servers in our datacenters to the edge network and our in-house developed payments software.
Most infrastructure engineering jobs put you a long way from anything that matters, you inherit someone else's design, you raise a change request, and you wait. This role is different.
We run our own hardware, our own network, our own edge, and our own software.
You'll work with experienced engineers across our international team, with real autonomy and ownership during US hours and colleagues in other regions providing support.
