About the role
For four years, Footprint's infrastructure had one job: run identity verifications fast, correctly, and always. A verification is a bounded request. It arrives, it resolves, it returns.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years operating production infrastructure on a major cloud - provisioning, deploying, and debugging real systems under load
- Fluency with infrastructure-as-code and a track record of managing infrastructure declaratively
- Strong observability instincts: you've built the metrics, traces, logs, and alerting that let a team catch and resolve incidents quickly
- Experience owning CI/CD pipelines and the build and deploy systems a whole engineering org depends on
- Depth on relational databases, especially Postgres: performance, scaling, and safe schema and operational changes
- A bias toward leverage: the tooling you build makes the whole team faster
More about this role
Footprint is the agentic platform that learns your compliance program and runs it end to end.
Compliance teams at banks and fintechs are drowning in financial crimes investigations. Transaction volumes are surging, regulators keep raising the bar, and the work still runs on manual review queues stitched together from legacy vendors. Percy, our agentic system, learns each team's procedures and makes the same calls their analysts would: clearing false positives, escalating real risk, writing the case narrative, and documenting every decision for audit. It cuts review workloads by 70%+.
The harder problem is underneath. Every investigation is grounded in the data sources compliance teams already trust, and every case commits to an organizational memory that compounds — so a pattern one analyst caught in March surfaces automatically in October, across KYC, EDD, sanctions, and monitoring. Whether the team is five analysts or 500, they share one brain. Every memory carries provenance. Agents propose; humans approve. That's four years of identity infrastructure sitting under the agent, and it's the part nobody can bolt on later.
