Software Engineer, Infrastructure

Overview

As an Infrastructure Engineer at Glomo, you will own the platform that every payment runs on. You will design, build, and operate systems on GCP and Kubernetes while keeping them available, secure, scalable, and compliant.

What you'll do

• Design, build, and operate GCP production and sandbox environments as infrastructure as code.
• Operate GKE clusters, deploy pipelines, autoscaling, and rollout strategies for the Rails monolith, Sidekiq workers, and supporting services.
• Operate PostgreSQL (AlloyDB) and Redis, including replication, read replicas, backups, point-in-time recovery, upgrades, and query and connection tuning.
• Build and test disaster recovery and failover.
• Define SLOs, alerts, and runbooks, and lead the response when an incident occurs.
• Own metrics, logs, and traces so that each team can find the cause of a problem in minutes.
• Improve CI/CD so that engineers deploy many times a day with zero downtime.
• Own network design, IAM, secrets management, and access control.
• Keep the platform compliant with PCI-DSS and regulator audits.
• Measure and reduce cloud spend without loss of reliability.

What you'll need

• 2-6 years of operation of production systems with real traffic.
• Hands-on experience with GKE, VPC networks, IAM, Cloud SQL or AlloyDB, and Cloud Load Balancing; deep AWS experience also counts.
• Production Kubernetes experience, including Helm, autoscalers, resource limits, and safe rollouts.
• Experience operating PostgreSQL at scale, including replication, failover, backups, vacuum, and index and query tuning.
• Experience building and maintaining infrastructure with Terraform or an equivalent tool, and reviewing it like application code.
• Ability to write clean, tested scripts and tools in Bash, Python, Go, or Ruby.
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines for trunk-based development with frequent, safe deploys.
• Ability to protect financial data and customer PII by default through least-privilege access, encryption, and secrets management.
• Ability to own systems from design to on-call and fix the root cause, not only the symptom.
• Ability to work closely with product engineers, security, and compliance to deliver changes.

Nice to have

• Experience with PCI-DSS, SOC 2, or audits from a financial regulator.
• Experience with observability stacks such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, or Grafana.
• Experience with Redis and Terraform.
• Experience with zero-trust access tools such as Teleport.
• Experience with Rails and Sidekiq in production.
• Experience with disaster recovery drills and chaos tests.
• Production infrastructure experience in payments or fintech.
