We lead our industry with bleeding-edge identification capabilities and work on turning new ideas and discoveries in the fraud detection space into reality. Our customers range from innovative startups to leading enterprise companies, including Plaid, Dropbox, and Booking.com. \nFingerprint is a globally dispersed, 100% remote company. We were named on on the 2026 Forbes Best Startup Employers list and ranked #803 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies. \nWe have raised $77M and are backed by Craft Ventures (Tesla,Facebook, Airbnb), Nexus Venture Partners ( Postman, Apollo.io, MinIO, Druva) and Uncorrelated Ventures ( Redis,Rollbar, Gradle).\nAbout the role\nAre you a systems-minded engineer with deep cloud infrastructure expertise and a passion for building the platforms that power products at scale? Do you enjoy solving hard distributed-systems problems, driving reliability, and partnering closely with engineering teams to architect for growth? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you!\nWe're looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to drive the design, development, and evolution of the systems that keep Fingerprint running fast, securely, and at scale. This is a foundational role on our Infrastructure team, with broad ownership over the systems, tools, and practices that power our engineering organization and customer-facing products.\nYou'll work across cloud architecture, deployment systems, observability, performance tuning, and developer tooling-helping to define and deliver our platform's reliability and scalability strategy. As a technical leader, you'll also collaborate closely with product engineering, security, and DevOps to ensure our infrastructure is ready for the next phase of growth.\nResponsibilities:\nOwn a core infrastructure product or subsystem end to end - you design it, ship it, operate it, and are accountable for how it behaves in production.\nDefine project goals and success metrics for your work, aligning them with company objectives, and proactively identify and address risks before they become blockers.\nCreate technical designs from PRDs and requirements, taking an iterative approach that addresses critical corner cases without over-engineering.\nBuild secure, high-performing, resilient, and cost-efficient infrastructure for a broad range of applications and workloads.\nDesign, write, and ship software and developer-facing tooling that improves the day-to-day lives of our engineers and reduces toil.\nManage infrastructure through code and configuration (we primarily use Terraform), consistently applying patterns that align with our overall service architecture.\nPartner with product engineering teams to architect their services for scale, resolving ambiguous requirements directly with stakeholders.\nParticipate in incident response and use systematic debugging to diagnose issues within your domain and across services.\nHelp tune and evolve monitoring for the team, and use operational data as the basis for proposing stability and performance improvements.\nApproach all engineering work with a security lens - actively looking for vulnerabilities in your own work and in peer reviews.\nAct as the go-to person for hard problems in your area, and mentor engineers through code review, pairing, and design feedback so knowledge doesn't silo.\nDrive cross-team collaboration and engage stakeholders outside of engineering, facilitating discussions on technical and process topics.\nQualifications:\n6-10 years of experience in infrastructure, platform, or backend engineering within primarily cloud-based environments (AWS preferred).\nA track record of owning a product or subsystem end to end - you've designed something significant, shipped it, operated it, and lived with the consequences.\nT-shaped expertise: deep specialization in one or two areas, with enough breadth to navigate and contribute across the wider system with minimal guidance.\nStrong hands-on experience managing infrastructure through code and configuration (Terraform or equivalent).\nDepth in cloud infrastructure fundamentals: networking, load balancing, containerization (EKS/Kubernetes), and distributed systems.\nSolid programming skills in Go, Python, or a comparable language - you write real, production-ready software.\nHands-on experience operating Redis/ElastiCache in production - including cluster/shard management, failover behavior, memory eviction policies, and scaling strategies. This is a current skill gap on our team, so depth here is a strong differentiator.\nComfort with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or similar), performance tuning, and incident management.\nFluency with software engineering best practices: source control, code review, comprehensive test coverage across edge cases and errors, and safe deployment.\nA high level of personal ownership and autonomy, with real experience working without clearly defined requirements.\nStrong written and verbal communication in English - clear technical design docs, PR reviews, and updates that bring engineers outside your team along on a decision.\nCompensation & Transparency\nFor US-based employees, the cash compensation range for this role is $152,000 - $205,000. We set standard ranges for all US roles based on function, level, and geographic location, benchmarked against similar stage growth companies. To comply with local legislation and provide greater transparency, we share salary ranges on all job postings. However, these ranges are specific to the hiring location and may differ within or outside the US. Offers vary depending on, but not limited to, relevant experience, education, certifications/licenses, skills, training, and market conditions.\nDue to regulatory and security reasons, there’s a small number of countries where we cannot have Fingerprint teammates based.
