At Axiom Bank, we encourage you to aim for the sky and leverage your expertise and passion to excel. We are a growing, dynamic organization – this is an exciting time to get on board!

We believe in the value of promoting a healthy work/life balance and are committed to recognizing the role everyone plays in our ongoing success. We offer the following benefits to our Full Time Employees:

• 12 Paid Holidays
• Generous Paid Time Off
• 4% Match on our 401(k)
• Medical, Dental and Vision Benefits
• 100% Company Paid Life, AD&D Insurance, Short and Long Term Disability

Key Responsibilities and Accountabilities

• Own the architecture of our cloud platform across a hybrid environment (AWS primary), including compute orchestration, networking, secrets management, and data
• Design and lead the orchestration strategy
• Build and standardize CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling that let a small team ship safely and fast, with audit trails and controls that satisfy banking compliance requirements
• Establish infrastructure-as-code standards (such as Terraform) including shared, composable modules, environment promotion, and drift management
• Define identity, access, and secrets architecture: OAuth2/OIDC, RBAC, mTLS, IAM policy design, and key management appropriate for financial data
• Partner with the Head of Bank Technology, compliance and security stakeholders to embed regulatory requirements (SOC 2, PCI DSS, FFIEC-aligned controls, ISO 20022 where applicable) into the platform rather than bolting them on
• Architect for integration: event-driven patterns, message queues, webhooks, and well-designed REST/gRPC APIs to support partner banking and fintech integrations
• Stand up observability as a first-class concern — metrics, tracing, logging, and alerting (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana or equivalent)
• Evaluate and integrate AI-assisted developer tooling and agentic systems into engineering workflows, with appropriate isolation and governance for a regulated context
• Mentor engineers, raise the bar on system design and operational practices, and help shape hiring as the team grows

Qualifications Summary

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field.

Experience

• 10+ years in backend and infrastructure engineering, with at least 3 in an architecture or technical leadership capacity

Knowledge and Skills

• Deep, hands-on experience with AWS (Lambda, EC2, S3, SQS/EventBridge, API Gateway, DynamoDB, KMS, IAM) and infrastructure-as-code with Terraform
• Production experience with container orchestration — Kubernetes required; HashiCorp Nomad/Vault/Consul experience a strong plus
• Strong backend engineering background in Go and/or Java (TypeScript a plus); you still write production code
• Track record delivering platforms in regulated financial services — banking, payments, or adjacent — with practical knowledge of compliance-driven engineering (audit logging, separation of duties, change management)
• Experience designing IAM and authentication architectures: OAuth2/OIDC, RBAC, mTLS, secrets management
• Demonstrated success building or overhauling CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar) across multiple environments
• Strong communication skills — able to align product, compliance, and external stakeholders, and to explain architectural trade-offs to non-engineers

Additional Preferred Knowledge and Skills

• Payments domain depth: wire transfers, ACH, real-time payments, ISO 20022
• Experience scaling a platform and team from greenfield through significant growth
• Event-driven platform experience (eventing, streaming, queues)
• Experience designing and architecting data persistence across relational (PostgreSQL or similar), NoSQL (document, key-value), and analytical systems — including data warehouse or lakehouse design, schema modeling, and choosing the right store for the workload
• Familiarity with AI/LLM developer tooling, RAG, vector search, or agent orchestration frameworks and the governance considerations of using them in regulated environments
• Multi-cloud or hybrid cloud experience (Azure exposure a plus
