👋 About Us NALA is building Payments for the Next Billion. Faster, smarter, and fairer transfers for everyone. Since 2022, we've grown our business 120x, grown the team from 9 to 150+, raised $50M+ from top-tier investors , and were named to the Forbes Fintech 50 in 2025 & 2026. We operate two core products: NALA , our consumer app makes cross-border payments cheaper, faster and more reliable for the global diaspora. Allowing users to send money from the UK, US and EU to Africa and Asia. Rafiki , our B2B payments infrastructure, is powering global payments. Our team includes alumni from Wise, Stripe, Monzo, Revolut, and CashApp — operators who’ve scaled world-class products. We act with urgency, think deeply, and put our customers first always. At NALA, this isn’t just a job. It’s ownership, impact, and the chance to change global payments forever. Join us in building Payments for the Next Billion . 🙌 Your Mission Own NALA's cloud foundation end-to-end, then architect the shared platform layer that unlocks velocity across both our B2B and B2C products. You'll be the bus-factor fix for our infrastructure, the builder of the connective tissue between Rafiki and NALA, and the person who sets technical direction for how the rest of engineering thinks about systems. 🎯 Your Responsibilities in this Role Build and improve the cloud infrastructure powering NALA and Rafiki, ensuring high availability, scalability and security across our systems. Improve developer experience through automation, self-serve tooling and infrastructure-as-code practices that increase engineering velocity. Own and evolve our observability, incident response and reliability practices to minimise downtime and improve system performance. Partner closely with product and engineering teams to support new services, migrations and platform improvements across the business. Strengthen our security posture by implementing best practices across networking, access controls, secrets management and production environments. Continuously improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows to enable safe, fast and reliable releases. 🔥 Must-have requirements Production AWS experience at scale, with hands-on Terraform and Infrastructure as Code. Strong experience managing containerised workloads using ECS and Docker in production environments. Strong experience operating and scaling infrastructure components such as Kafka, Redis and managed relational databases like RDS. Strong understanding of networking, security, observability and distributed systems fundamentals. Experience improving CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation in fast-moving engineering teams. Comfortable debugging production issues and participating in incident response in high-availability environments. Clear communication skills and the ability to work closely with software engineers across multiple teams. You get excited about owning something end-to-end, from "here's the mess" to "here's how we operate it reliably." You're not treating infra as a stepping stone to architecture — you want to build both. 💪 Nice to have requirements Experience working in fintech, payments or other regulated environments. Experience building internal developer platforms or self-serve infrastructure tooling. Experience supporting SOC2, ISO27001 or similar compliance initiatives. Background in SRE or platform engineering at scale (100+ engineers, 1000+ services). Experience designing connective layers or shared infrastructure in multi-product orgs. ✅ Success in the role looks like 3-Month Metrics Full AWS estate mapped and documented honestly, including gaps and risks. CI/CD and observability gaps surfaced, triaged, and prioritized. Intake process running: teams have a way to request infra work and get responses. Security baseline assessment complete with Head of Security. At least one production incident debugged and response process imp
