Fuse Finance - DevOps Engineer

Company Overview

Fuse is a New York City-based high-growth startup with millions in funding from top-tier VCs.

We are building the next-generation low-code tool in financial services, allowing for self-service configuration, integration, and automation. This means that as a team, we are creating from scratch the tool that will power financial services infrastructure, and we need your creativity and problem-solving skills to create the best solution in the market.

Our clients are financial institutions and banks based in the United States, and we have a strong pipeline of prospective customers. We’re building the next-generation product for an under-served market, and the growth possibilities for the company are limitless.

Position Overview

We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer who marries deep cloud-infrastructure expertise with a security-by-design mindset. You will own the availability, performance, and security of our AWS-based platform, partnering closely with engineering leads to plan, execute, and continuously improve. This is a core team role (no contractor mindset) and requires frequent synchronous collaboration with leads and management.
