Join to apply for the Senior Dev Ops Engineer role at Zay Zoon

At Zay Zoon, we are on a mission to save 10 million employees 10 billion dollars by providing a financial empowerment platform that helps businesses of all sizes improve employee financial wellness. With 74% of Zay Zoon customers reporting reduced financial stress, our solutions lead to happier and more productive employees.

We’re looking for a Dev Ops Engineer who loves ownership, automation, and impact to directly power a fast‑growing product. In this role, you’ll design resilient, high‑performing systems and raise the bar on reliability, security, and observability across the platform. You’ll work at the intersection of engineering, data, testing, and security, partnering closely with teams to streamline deployments, strengthen compliance, and respond decisively to critical issues when they matter most.

• Own and scale Zay Zoon’s AWS infrastructure to ensure reliability, performance, and security.
• Design and automate infrastructure provisioning using Cloud Formation, build CI/CD pipelines and manage existing infrastructure stacks.
• Optimize our Postgre
  
  SQL databases for high availability and performance.
• Improve monitoring and observability when possible, ensuring detection and proactive resolution of issues.
• Design secure, scalable cloud services in AWS that meet SOC‑2 and cybersecurity compliance.
• Evaluate and remediate Critical and High CVEs across all services on a moment’s notice.
• Work cross‑functionally across multiple teams such as development, data, testing, and security to convey concepts and build understanding as well as improve deployment processes.
• Apply Dev Ops best practices in everything you do – you bring the best of them to our environment.

• 5+ years of cloud infrastructure engineering experience in AWS or GCP.
• 3+ years of experience with Python or an equivalent high‑level language (Go, Ruby, etc).
• Knowledge of Bash & Structured Query Language (SQL).
• Experience with Cloud Formation to provision and maintain infrastructure, or experience in other IaC tooling such as Terraform, Ansible, Chef, or equivalent.
• Experience with Cloud Watch and Elastic Container Services (ECS) running on Fargate, with Code Pipeline and native deployments.
• Experience building efficient CI/CD pipelines using Git Hub Actions or an equivalent.
• Ability to deep dive into Cloud Watch, Cloud Trail logging and other logging tooling, such as Athena, to get to the bottom of a problem.
• Experience migrating compute from Intel to ARM architecture.

Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of listed criteria, women and other marginalized folks tend to only apply when they check every box. Think you have what it takes, but not sure you check every box? Apply to the role anyways. We’d love to talk and determine together whether you could be a great fit!

• Permanently Remote:
  Work from a desk, a coffee shop, or in the great outdoors – our jobs are fully remote, forever.
• Flexible Time Off:
  Whether it’s a longer vacation or a series of short breaks, our “You‑do‑You” time off program caters to the diverse lifestyles of our team with a maximum of 6 weeks vacation.
• Instant Benefits:
  All full‑time employees get access to medical, vision, and dental benefits from their very first day, including increased mental health coverage and a wellness stipend.
• Plus:
  Inclusive parental leave top‑up, earned wage access, real‑time market data for salaries, a supportive culture for lifelong learners and more.

We care a lot about employee experience and pay is a big part of that. We’re currently on a journey toward internal pay transparency, with that work wrapping up by the end of Q1. We’re focused on doing this thoughtfully, starting with the people who make Zay Zoon what it is. Being more transparent with folks outside the company than with our own team wouldn’t feel right so we’re intentionally completing this important internal work first.

In the meantime, we’re happy to share more about our compensation philosophy and what you can expect as part of our hiring process!

Every application will be reviewed by our team – we’re committed to giving each application the attention it deserves because we know how important this step is for you. We want to make sure you’re always in the loop and will respond to every application. So go ahead and hit that apply button with confidence, knowing that we’re here for you every step of the way!

We can’t wait to hear from you.
