Global payments are not broken. Incentives are. Clearing has been deprioritized inside balance sheet driven institutions whose models rely on lending and interest. When liquidity takes priority over settlement, payments slow and certainty drops. The same financial institutions that distort clearing as providers are disadvantaged as users. They are forced into fragmented setups, inconsistent rails, duplicated compliance, and unpredictable timelines. Stablecoin shortcuts and treasury pooling treat symptoms at the surface, but almost no one is rebuilding the underlying infrastructure in each market.

Rebuilding clearing from the ground up

We are rebuilding clearing as its own specialist function. We act as a clearing and transaction banking partner for regulated institutions, with treasury built into the core so liquidity, settlement, and reconciliation sit in one controlled system.

Our platform unifies global and local licenses, direct central bank clearing, and access to domestic rails. We allow clients to open named customer accounts in every market we operate, collecting funds and paying out through a single network while retaining full ownership of their customer relationships. Market expansion becomes as simple as one correspondent relationship, not hundreds.

Joining Lorum means contributing to one of the most ambitious clearing infrastructure projects in global finance. You will help shape settlement systems that perform under real regulatory standards and institutional volumes. You will build for regulated institutions that rely on precision, predictable timelines, and regulatory integrity. It is about working across currencies, markets, and supervisory frameworks to deliver reliable, final settlement.

Build, operate and improve the cloud infrastructure and CI/CD systems that power Lorum’s clearing platform. Partner with backend, security, and product teams to deliver secure, observable, and reliable production services with strong automation and ownership.

• Infrastructure as Code

  • Design, implement and maintain AWS infrastructure using Terraform. Manage Terraform workflows and state best practices.

  • Operate and maintain Atlantis or other Git-driven Terraform automation for safe, auditable infra changes.

• CI/CD & developer workflows

  • Build and maintain Git Hub Workflows / Actions pipelines for build, test, release and infra deployments.

  • Improve developer DX: fast, reliable pipelines, automated testing, pre-merge checks, and environment provisioning.

• Reliability, observability & operations

  • Run production services: participate in on-call, incident response, postmortems and capacity planning.

  • Instrument systems (metrics, logs, tracing) and use telemetry to drive reliability improvements.

• Security & compliance

  • Work with Security and GRC to meet SOC 2 / ISO 27001 and similar requirements: secure deployments, secrets management, IAM policies, and encryption at rest/in transit.

• Automation & tooling

  • Automate repetitive operational tasks, build self-service platforms for developers, and contribute internal tooling and runbooks.

• Collaboration & delivery

  • Partner with backend engineers (see pages 1–3 for team expectations) to define deployment boundaries, APIs, and operational responsibilities.

  • Review infra changes, mentor peers, and help maintain high engineering standards.

Must-Haves
