About the role:
At ZayZoon, we've built a financial empowerment platform that helps businesses of all sizes make a real impact on employee financial wellness, and the infrastructure you build here directly powers that mission.
We're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer who sits at the intersection of engineering, data, testing, and security. You'll embed closely with app and infrastructure engineers, keeping a sharp eye on how our systems perform and making sure they're built to scale. If you love ownership, automation, making environments a platform and also get excited about deep-diving into observability, data performance, and leaving systems better than you found them, this is the hybrid challenge you've been looking for.
Your impact:
- Own and develop ZayZoon's infrastructure-as-code using CloudFormation, with an emphasis on serverless resources (ECS, Fargate, Lambda)
- Instrument and analyze daily metrics across both infrastructure performance and our Ruby on Rails applications, using AWS tooling (Athena, CloudTrail) and third-party observability platforms (Grafana, OTel, CloudWatch)
- Build, optimize, and maintain efficient pipelines (GitHub Actions, CodeDeploy, CodePipeline) to accelerate developer velocity, including modern deployment strategies like blue/green deployments and intelligent auto-scaling
- Stay ahead of resource dependencies, particularly databases (RDS, Redshift), including upgrades, playbooks, and downtime planning
- Work closely with application developers to serve all of their infrastructure needs. Turning repeatable needs like spinning up environments, running jobs etc. into platform services that can be used by devs whenever they need them.
- Project costs and implement AWS cost savings programs and reserved instances
- Partner with our risk and security teams to maintain SOC-2 and cybersecurity compliance, and actively evaluate and remediate Critical and High CVEs across all services
- Collaborate extensively with app developers on shared metrics, database performance, and load testing
- Collaborate extensively with data engineers to facilitate data warehouse development, ELT, and ETL
- Participate in our agile process: sprint planning, story grooming, and standup
- Champion our SDLC and secure coding practices across everything you ship
