About the role
- Working closely with our Product and Forward Deployed Engineers, you'll give them the foundation they need to solve real customer problems - so they can stay focused on exactly that.
- The through line of this role: fewer humans in the loop for the things that don't need them.
- That means owning deployments, environment setup, security, on-call triage, policy checks, cost reviews, and compliance evidence - and systematically taking humans out of those flows wherever it makes sense.
Responsibilities
- Build and own our GCP infrastructure, Kubernetes clusters, and Terraform IaC
- Own CI/CD across all services - end to end
- Build internal platforms and tooling that help product engineers ship with less friction
- Respond to incidents, own the postmortem, and close the loop so they don't repeat
- Partner with Engineering, IT, and Security to build the pipelines our products run on
- A track record of building internal systems other teams depend on and trust
- You use AI tools in your own work and can speak to how and why
- Promise modernizes how government agencies and utilities support people in financial difficulty.
Requirements
- You've been on-call for things you built, and you have real opinions about what that taught you
Nice to have
- Google Cloud Platform (our primary cloud)
- ArgoCD experience
- TypeScript or Go
- Fintech, Payments, or GovTech background
- SOC 2, FedRAMP, or PCI experience
- You are energized by big, complex challenges and the opportunity to solve them.
- You want your work to have a real, measurable impact on people's lives.
- You take ownership and run toward problems, not away from them.
Benefits
- We cover 100% of base medical, dental, and vision insurance plans for employees and their dependents.
