Infrastructure Engineer

What we are looking for:

As an Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll own the key services and processes that Forage is built on, and will help set the direction for future growth and investments. Beyond cloud services and CI/CD, you’ll contribute to developer experience, our incident response processes, load testing, and other critical functions. Day to day, you’ll spot weak points before they turn into outages, fine-tune databases to keep them fast under load, and put guardrails in place so product engineers can ship quickly.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.
• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 2+ years focused on infrastructure/Dev Ops/SRE work.
• Experience with AWS (or another major cloud provider) and infrastructure-as-code tooling (e.g. Terraform, CDK, Pulumi, Cloud Formation).
• Practice preparing systems for production use — come with experience implementing monitoring, autoscaling, and security concerns in live services.
• Proven track record of owning complex systems — e.g. containerized deployments using cloud databases.
• Strong, remote-first, communication skills; able to collaborate across engineering and non-engineering stakeholders.
• Nice to have: prior experience in fintech, payments, or other highly regulated environments.

• Own Critical Services: Be responsible for critical services that power our applications, such as the compute and data storage layers powering Forage's payments processing and consumer app API systems.
• Manage CI/CD: Help manage, improve and evolve our CI/CD pipeline, focusing on speed and reliability.
• Improve Incident Response: Help our team reduce noisy alerting by tuning monitor sensitivity and expanding the self-healing/auto-scaling capabilities of our systems. Plan and organize activities to test and evolve how we respond to outages.
• Enhance Developer
  
  Experience:
  
  Build for both engineers and non-engineers, expanding who can, and wants to, contribute code changes with the adoption of AI agent-led development.
