Company
Credit Genie is a mobile-first financial wellness platform designed to help individuals take control of their financial future. We leverage artificial intelligence to provide personalized insights and are building a financial ecosystem by offering tools and services that provide instant access to cash, and building credit. Our goal is to empower every customer to achieve long-term financial stability.
Founded in 2019 by Ed Harycki, former Swift Capital Founder (acquired by PayPal in 2017). Backed by Khosla Ventures and led by industry pioneers from companies such as; PayPal, Square, and Cash App, we are well positioned to build the future of inclusive finance through cutting-edge technology and customer-centric solutions.
Overview
The Platform team owns the infrastructure Credit Genie runs on: the AWS environment, deployments, observability, and the SOC 2 and PCI-DSS controls that keep customer financial data safe. We're also building the AI infrastructure our engineers use every day. When this team does its job well, engineers ship without worrying about what's underneath them and audits find real controls instead of gaps.
As a Senior Platform Infrastructure Engineer Engineer on this team, you'll own reliability and deployments across our AWS and Kubernetes environment, take real ownership of our compliance work, and help build the AI infrastructure and new product foundations we're investing in next. This is a rare chance to join a fast-growing fintech startup where your work directly protects the systems our users depend on.
What You'll do:
Core reliability and infrastructure
-
Own reliability, deployments, observability, and incident response across our AWS environment (Kubernetes/EKS, Datadog, CI/CD, networking), supporting backend, mobile, data, ML, and AI engineering teams.
-
Maintain, optimize, and improve our AWS infrastructure footprint to align with industry best standards and scalability requirements.
-
Own our infrastructure-as-code stack (Terraform/OpenTofu). Hands-on AWS CDK experience is a strong plus.
-
Reduce our dependence on any single vendor by favoring open standards and swappable tooling where it makes sense.
Compliance
-
Take real, hands-on ownership of SOC 2 and PCI-DSS work. Not just documenting controls, but building and operating the systems that make them genuinely true in production.
