Who are Yapily

Yapily is on a mission to enable innovative companies to create better and fairer financial services for everyone, through the power of open banking.

Yapily is an open banking infrastructure platform solving a fundamental problem in financial services today: access. Historically, card networks have monopolised the global movement of money, and banks have monopolised the ownership of, and access to, financial data.

Yapily was founded to challenge these structures and create a global open economy that works for everyone. We exist behind the scenes, securely connecting companies - from growth to enterprise - to thousands of banks worldwide, enabling them to access data and initiate payments through the power of open banking.

What we are looking for

As a Senior Cloud Engineer at Yapily, you will play a key role in designing, implementing and operating our Cloud Infrastructure.

You will join a small, but efficient team growing from startup towards enterprise, where we are laying down the foundation of how we deploy, store, observe and operate in a regulated multi-national FinTech environment.

Requirements

As a Senior Cloud Engineer at Yapily you will be responsible for:

• Building new infrastructure capabilities: Enabling our engineering team to take advantage of the best and most efficient parts of the cloud
• Building the best developer experience: Providing golden standard templates for infrastructure coupled with automation to make the development process as safe and easy as possible
• Building infrastructure and code deployment flows and pipelines: Making it easy for engineers to build securely and be satisfied we follow all our guidelines and certifications
• Making our infrastructure as cost efficient as possible: Ensuring we are able to provide a cost-efficient service for our customers
• Collaborating with engineers: DevOps is a culture, not a team! We work together to make sure everything works.
• Being part of the SRE on-call rotation: Part of the group ensuring Yapily stays up, come rain or snow

What You Bring

Essential Skills

• Cloud architecture: Well used to best practices around, using, managing and operating a cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP or Azure

• Kubernetes orchestration: Well versed in creating, operating and supporting Kubernetes clusters
• Solid IaaC skills: Writing OpenTofu/Terraform, Packer or Ansible is how we change things in the cloud

Impress us more by having

• Networking skills: Knowing your BGP from your VPC

• Solid security understanding: Help us engineer the secure-by-default infrastructure and deployment pipelines
• Familiarity with regulated workflows: ISO27001, SOC2, GDPR aren’t just abbreviations, and don’t fill you with dread
• Observability skills: Well familiar with Open Telemetry, Prometheus, Loki and Grafana

• CI/CD pipeline skills: You know what it takes to build templates and guardrails to allow the most junior developers to confidently push code, safely knowing that the computer will say no before anything bad happens
