Senior Full Stack Cloud Engineer — Vitera; AI-Native SDLC

The Opportunity Vitera is Apollo and Athene's highest‑conviction growth channel in retirement income. We are building the engineering team that will define how it scales.

Vitera turns retirement savings into guaranteed lifetime income—automatically, flexibly, and simply. Backed by Apollo and Athene, we are setting a new standard for what retirement income can look like: clear, accessible, and built on trust.
