About the role

Platform Lead (DevOps / Infrastructure) 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 need a true Platform Lead who stays deep in infrastructure but also guides a small, growing Platform team. This is a heavily hands-on role (70–80% technical) with people leadership (20–30% — 1:1s, code-review ownership, tech direction, mentoring, team velocity). If you love architecting production-grade cloud infrastructure yourself and helping engineers around you level up, this is for you. You'll own the infrastructure that powers a high-growth fintech with high-throughput production systems, serving hundreds of thousands of users across Southeast Asia and Africa. 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. This isn't a role where you manage dashboards or sit in meetings all day. You'll architect, build, and operate critical cloud infrastructure — while setting the technical direction for the Platform squad and growing the team. Future growth into Head of Platform / Infrastructure is realistic for the right person. What You'll Do Technical (70–80%) 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 Participate in on-call rotation — respond to production incidents and drive root-cause analysis and prevention Leadership (20–30%) Set technical direction for the Platform squad — define the infrastructure roadmap, make build-vs-buy decisions, and establish engineering standards Run weekly 1:1s with platform engineers — coach, unblock, and help them grow Own code review across the platform domain — ensure quality, share knowledge, and maintain consistency Keep platform velocity high — prioritize work, remove blockers, and ensure the team ships reliably Mentor and develop the team — create an environment where engineers do their best work Support the wider engineering team — be the go-to person for infrastructure questions, unblock developers, and create self-service tooling Collaborate with product and engineering leadership — translate business needs into infrastructure strategy Contribute to hiring — help interview and assess platform engineering candidates as the team grows Must-Have Experience 7+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering roles Team leadership experience — formally or informally leading a small infrastructure/platform team (mentoring, 1:1s, technical direction) Strong cloud infrastructure expertise — compute, networking, identity management, queuing, monitoring, storage (we use AWS primarily) Con
