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
