Senior DevOps Engineer

Overview

Ready to be a part of the company transforming Fin Tech and how the world accesses banking services?

When was the last time you were excited about interacting with your bank or credit union? If the answer is “a while” then you’re in good company. Despite the fact that access to better financial choices is at the heart of empowering communities, businesses, and people, financial institutions (FIs) are struggling to keep up with modern expectations.

And that’s where Kinective comes in. We’re here to change the way the world accesses and thinks about banking through software that connects a historically “boring” industry to the latest and greatest fintechs shaping the industry.

Ok... but what does all of that actually mean? Banks and credit unions are using some pretty old-school systems, which makes adopting new and innovative technology difficult. If you think it’s easy for your local branch to send you a receipt via text… think again.

As the largest provider of software connectivity to 1 in 3 U.S. financial institutions, we are the leading company transforming the way banking is done for credit unions and banks. Kinective works with over 60% of Forbes’ named banks.

Kinective is the connector that bridges the technology gap and helps modernize the way banking works. Our 575+ team of megatalented and passionate folks are driven to make life easier for our clients and pave the way for banks and credit unions to modernize banking for everyone.

We are looking for a hands-on Senior Dev Ops Engineer to design, build, and operate the infrastructure behind our mission-critical data intelligence platform used daily by banks and credit unions. This is a builder’s role for someone who enjoys working deep in systems, automating everything, and owning platforms end to end—from provisioning and deployment to monitoring and incident response.

You’ll work closely with software engineers to ship reliable, secure, and scalable systems in a regulated Fin Tech environment, with real ownership over architecture decisions and day-to-day operations.

What you’ll own:

• Build and operate production-grade cloud and hybrid infrastructure that supports high-availability, financial-services workload.
• Own Infrastructure as Code from design through production rollout using Terraform and Ansible
• Design, implement, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines that developers actually want to use
• Containerize applications and run them reliably in Kubernetes-based environments
• Debug complex issues across infrastructure, networking, OS, and application layers—then fix the root cause
• Improve system reliability through better automation, observability, and incident response practices
• Implement monitoring, alerting, and dashboards that provide actionable signals—not noise
• Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, pairing, and practical troubleshooting
• Influence tooling, architecture, and standards with a strong voice in technical decisions

What you’re great at:

• Thorough and consistent documentation
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with a root-cause-driven mindset
• Ability to operate independently while collaborating across engineering, product, and operations teams
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex systems clearly
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple initiatives in parallel
• Proactive, self-directed, and confident in making technical decisions in production environments
• Able to maintain high levels of productivity, especially when managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced, high-growth environment

Necessary

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of hands-on Dev Ops, Platform, or Infrastructure Engineering experience
• Strong experience supporting production systems with uptime, performance, and security requirements
• Comfort working independently on complex systems while collaborating closely with engineering teams

Technical

Experience:

• Infrastructure as Code:
  Terraform, Ansible
• Containers & orchestration:
