The Role
Pave Bank is building the future of programmable banking — combining traditional banking with digital assets under a single, regulated platform. We’re looking for a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to ensure our core systems are highly available, scalable, and performant as we grow.
As an SRE at Pave Bank, you’ll work closely with Engineering, Product, Security and Operations teams to build robust infrastructure, automate operations, and maintain reliability across all services. Your work will directly impact the safety, performance, and scalability of our banking platform, helping our customers trust Pave Bank with their finances.
What You’ll Be Doing
Monitor, maintain, and improve the reliability, availability, and performance of production systems and services.
Build and maintain infrastructure as code (IaC), deployment pipelines, and automation to support continuous delivery, scalability, and disaster recovery.
Respond to incidents, perform root-cause analysis, and drive postmortems to ensure lessons learned are applied.
Implement and enforce operational best practices: observability, logging, metrics, alerting, capacity planning, failover strategies, and backups.
Collaborate with Engineering, Product, Compliance, and Operations teams to ensure infrastructure meets reliability, compliance, and security standards.
Support service scaling, database operations, cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred), networking, and microservices orchestration.
Document operational runbooks, on-call procedures, and system architecture to support maintenance, knowledge sharing, and compliance.
What You’ll Bring
Technical Skills and Experience
Strong programming or scripting skills (Go, Python, Bash, or similar) for automation, tooling, and operational tasks.
Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, ideally Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, or equivalent).
Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Cloud Deployment Manager, or similar).
Experience with either FluxCD or ArgoCD for GitOps-based delivery.
Solid understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, and reliability patterns.
Experience setting up monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, distributed tracing).
Strong troubleshooting skills and ability to respond to incidents under pressure.
Knowledge of backup and disaster recovery strategies, database management, and secure operations.
Other Skills
Ownership mindset: proactive, responsible, and committed to system reliability.
Strong communication skills — able to coordinate across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment.
High integrity, attention to detail, and passion for fintech and programmable banking systems.
Nice to Have
Prior experience in fintech, banking, or other highly regulated industries.
Familiarity with compliance, security, and data protection best practices.
Experience with high-availability, high-throughput systems, or financial infrastructure.
Exposure to blockchain or crypto systems integrated with banking.
Experience optimizing cloud infrastructure for cost and performance under rapid growth.
