    Job description

    Come build what the market has been missing. 

    Octaura is a technology company transforming how some of the world’s largest, least digitized markets operate. In loans and CLOs, trillions of dollars still move through phones, emails, and PDFs because the right infrastructure hasn’t existed — until now.

    We’re applying AI, real-time data, and modern software design to asset classes long overlooked by fintech. Our platforms turn fragmented information into intelligence, manual workflows into automation, and legacy conventions into scalable market infrastructure.

    You’ll join a high-impact, collaborative team building the systems these markets need to become more transparent, efficient, and connected.

    The role in a nutshell
    The Cloud Operations Engineer is responsible for building out our operations platform, ensuring efficiency through automation, deploying product updates, identifying production issues and implementing strategic integrations that meet our clients’ needs. The ideal candidate will have good communication skills, a well-rounded understanding of Enterprise Architecture, and an automation background with experience running production environments at scale. The candidate will help develop new architectural patterns for emerging products, contribute to environment standardization, develop new monitoring and security tools, and contribute to maintaining operational BAU.
    This is an exciting time for Octaura as we are rapidly growing and are looking for energetic, collaborative and driven thinkers to join us! Please note this role is based out of our NYC office and our current structure is 4 days (Mon-Thurs) in the office, 1 day from home.
    Core responsibilities

    • Contribute to operational readiness and platform stability by proactive automation and reactive environment support
    • Develop and maintain a platform of integrated systems and tooling to support Agile and DevOps practices across a diverse set of workflows used by multiple development teams
    • Evaluate and integrate third-party software and configure connectivity with client infrastructure
    • Maintain and enforce compliance with audit controls and external certifications
    • Design and implement solutions for managing applications and infrastructure, with goals of increasing the security, reliability, repeatability, and consistency of operational tasks
    • Work with software developers to ensure best practices of development, processes, testing, ­operations, production deployment and monitoring
    • Work closely with business and technology teams to analyze and resolve issues on the platform
    • Provide day-to-day application-level support for production incidents
    • Develop and maintain automation application tools, websites, and utilities
    • Actively contribute to ongoing process improvement to help streamline the development life cycle

    Desired qualifications

    • 5+ years of infrastructure engineering experience
    • Extensive knowledge of modern cloud environments (preferably AWS)
    • Linux sysadmin and debugging experience
    • Proficiency in 1 or more scripting languages. Python preferred
    • Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-code management. Terraform preferred
    • Problem solving and focus on understanding root-cause of issues
    • Experience with VMs and containers
    • Experience running scalable, multi-region production environments
    • Strong communication skills
    • Team player
    • Sense of humor

    The base pay range for this position in New York is $140,000 - $180,000 annually. Pay may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Equity and year-end bonus may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to a full range of medical, financial, and other benefits, dependent on the position offered. Applicants should apply via Octaura's internal or external careers site.
