Since our founding, we have redefined how people approach small-dollar loans—delivering over $1 billion in funding to more than 1 million customers, issuing over 4 million loans, and saving our customers more than $500 million.
At Possible, we’re building a new type of consumer finance company; one that helps our customers stay out of debt rather than profit from their staying in it. We are a Public Benefit Corporation with the mission to help communities unlock economic mobility through affordable credit products crafted to improve financial health for generations. Join the team that’s making our goal a reality.
We're hiring our first dedicated DevOps/Infrastructure Engineer. You'll inherit a solid foundation—our infrastructure is already in Terraform, deployments are automated, and things aren't on fire—but it's been built and maintained by generalist engineers alongside their other work. This role exists to take ownership, bring deeper expertise, and evolve our infrastructure and security practices as we scale.
You'll have significant autonomy to shape how we approach infrastructure, deployment, and security going forward.
What You'll DoInfrastructure & Platform
- Take ownership of our AWS infrastructure, bringing dedicated focus and deeper expertise than generalist engineers can provide
- Evolve our Terraform codebase—improve patterns, reduce drift, enhance modularity
- Own and improve our GitLab CI/CD pipelines, optimizing for speed, safety, and developer experience
- Partner with engineering teams on infrastructure needs and operational best practices
- Establish monitoring, alerting, and observability standards
- Lead incident response and drive root cause analysis
Security
- Own our cloud security posture—IAM policies, network security, secrets management, access controls
- Implement and mature security tooling (vulnerability scanning, dependency auditing, SAST/DAST)
- Partner with compliance to ensure infrastructure meets regulatory requirements
- Drive security best practices across engineering teams
- Respond to and investigate security events
Required
- 8+ years in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering, with meaningful security experience
- Deep expertise with AWS (EC2, ECS/EKS, RDS, Lambda, IAM, VPC, networking, KMS, etc.)
- Strong experience with Terraform at scale
- Strong experience with GitLab CI/CD and git workflows
- Solid understanding of cloud security principles—least privilege, network segmentation, encryption at rest/in transit
- Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes or ECS)
- Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash)
- Comfortable being the first dedicated person in this function
Preferred
- Experience in fintech or regulated industries
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, PCI-DSS)
- Experience implementing security tooling in CI/CD pipelines
- Background in database operations (PostgreSQL, MySQL)
Personal Attributes: Self-directed, strong technical judgment, security-minded by default, improves what they inherit rather than rewriting for the sake of it, effective communicator.
SuccessSuccess means: infrastructure and security that gets dedicated expert attention, improved reliability and security posture, faster and safer deployments, engineering teams that trust the platform, and passing audits without fire drills. It also means providing technical leadership by proactively setting feature developers up for success through education, tooling, and automation, and establishing long-term improvement plans for our infrastructure.
