About Us

Are you ready to shape the financial future of a rapidly growing fintech that's transforming lives across Southeast Asia and beyond

We're not your typical company — we're a rocketship! At FINN, established in 2022 by experienced serial founders, we're on a mission to transform financial well-being for underbanked employees. Our product provides early wage access, financial education, budgeting tools, part-time job opportunities, and micro-insurances. We've hit product-market fit and are scaling aggressively across multiple markets.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join our small, growing Platform team and help scale our infrastructure across multiple markets. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you'll own critical cloud infrastructure serving hundreds of thousands of users across Southeast Asia and Africa.

You'll be part of the Platform squad — responsible for platform-level infrastructure, shared services, observability, and security tooling. We're in the middle of a major infrastructure maturity push: closing IaC gaps, hardening CI/CD, improving observability, and preparing our platform for rapid expansion across multiple markets in Southeast Asia and Africa.

This isn't a role where you maintain dashboards. You'll architect, build, and operate the infrastructure that powers a high-growth fintech with high-throughput production systems.

What You'll Do

Own and operate cloud infrastructure — compute, networking, identity, and security controls — using Infrastructure-as-Code
Manage container orchestration workloads, including cluster upgrades, deployment management, and autoscaling
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines — automated testing, deployment automation, and quality gates
Drive observability — implement and improve monitoring, alerting, logging, and tracing across all services
Harden security posture — cloud security posture management, automated scanning in CI, access policies, network security, and contributing toward industry security certifications
Manage multi-cloud infrastructure — we run workloads across multiple cloud providers
Operate messaging infrastructure — event-driven architectures, including retry strategies and dead-letter queue management
Standardize market launches — build repeatable infrastructure provisioning so new markets can go live in days, not weeks
Support the engineering team — be the go-to person for infrastructure questions, unblock developers, and create self-service tooling
Participate in on-call rotation — respond to production incidents and drive root-cause analysis and prevention

Must-Have Experience

5+ years in a DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering role
Strong cloud infrastructure expertise — compute, networking, identity management, queuing, monitoring, storage, and databases (we use AWS primarily)
Container orchestration in production — cluster operations, package management, debugging, resource management (we use Kubernetes)
Infrastructure-as-Code at scale — writing, reviewing, and managing IaC with proper state management and modularization (we use Terraform)
CI/CD pipeline design — deployment automation, testing integration, and deployment strategies (blue-green, canary)
Linux systems administration — comfortable debugging at the OS level
Monitoring and observability — setting up alerting, dashboards, log aggregation, and incident response
Security mindset — experience with access control best practices, network security, secrets management
Strong communication — able to explain infrastructure decisions to non-infra engineers
Reliable internet and hardware, able to work 40h/week with decent overlap with UTC+8 (Singapore time)

Nice-to-Have

Multi-cloud experience (GCP, Firebase, or similar alongside AWS)
GitOps deployment experience (e.g. ArgoCD or similar)
Event streaming operations and tuning (e.g. Kafka)
Compliance frameworks — ISO 27001, SOC 2, or similar
Cost optimization — experience reducing cloud spend without sacrificing reliability
Pen testing coordination or security audit experience
Experience at a fintech or financial services company
Experience with multi-region or multi-market infrastructure

What We Use Today

Messaging: Kafka, SQS
Monitoring: Grafana, Sentry, CloudWatch

Why Join

Real ownership — you'll shape the infrastructure of a company scaling across continents
Small team, big impact — a growing platform team, no layers of bureaucracy
Growth trajectory — rapidly expanding across Southeast Asia and Africa
