About the role

We’re already achieving incredible results — to date, we’ve helped our users get on track to eliminate more than $1.8B in student debt and pay off their loans 175,000 years quicker — and we’re seeking movers, shakers, innovators, and problem solvers to help take our mission even further. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • You take ownership naturally — you see what needs to happen and you make it happen, and when you commit to something, it gets done
  • You think and communicate beyond your immediate scope. You invest in the people around you, take informed positions on technical direction, and make the team stronger — not just the codebase
  • You bring genuine energy and drive. You're energized by ambiguity, you raise the bar for yourself and others, and you don't settle for "good enough" when better is possible
  • 5–7+ years of hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)
  • Expert-level AWS knowledge: EC2, ELB, ASG, RDS, S3, SQS, Lambda, IAM, VPC, CloudFormation, CDK, and Route 53
  • Solid understanding of Linux administration and networking concepts (VPNs, VPC peering, NAT, DNS, firewalls)

We're looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to lead the design, implementation, and ongoing evolution of our cloud infrastructure. This is a role for someone who brings both technical depth and genuine curiosity — someone who sees an opportunity to improve something and goes after it, who takes problems end-to-end, and who makes the engineers around them better just by being present.

You'll partner closely with engineering leadership and cross-functional teams to ensure our infrastructure strategy...
