Job Summary

We’re a well-funded, early-stage London-based startup on a mission to revolutionize compliance for banks and fintechs with cutting-edge, AI-powered regtech solutions. We’re building a product and engineering team to drive the platform in an agile way, using AI and ML at its core, enabled by microservice running in AWS. We aim for full CI/CD, deploying as soon as tests are green.

We value clarity, transparency, and craftsmanship in everything we do. We believe that speed comes from doing things right, and we encourage creative use of AI, not just in our products, but in every aspect of how we work.

Our London office is a hub for collaboration, and we embrace flexibility and remote work for most days. If you are not in London, or not even the UK, we will make that work too.

• We get onboarded as a vendor by demanding clients in heavily regulated industries.
• Everything is automated.
• We can spin up environments on demand.
• We do zero-downtime deployments for everything.
• Our developers do many deployments per day.

Skills and Experience

• 8+ years of hands-on AWS experience; exposure to other cloud providers is a plus.
• Deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and automation.
• Proficiency with Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, and modern DevOps toolchains.
• Strong background in cybersecurity and cloud compliance.
• Passion for simplifying systems, automating processes, and enabling developer productivity.
