We combine identity verification, fraud detection, and multi-rail payments, ACH, RTP, and soon FedNow, into a single API, so businesses can move money between bank accounts as easily as sending a text.\nWe're headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado, building infrastructure for how modern businesses get paid. Teams are lean, decisions are quick, and layers are minimal. If you care about quality and velocity in equal measure, you'll be in good company.\nSenior Agentic Infrastructure Engineer - Platform & Security\nDenver metro area preferred · Hybrid, with remote considered for exceptional candidates · Reports to the Head of Engineering\nAbout the role\nStraddle is building the infrastructure for better bank payments. We’re hiring an Agentic Infrastructure Engineer to build, operate, and defend the platform that moves money.\nWe’re committed to agentic engineering. You’ll work across platform engineering, DevSecOps, and security operations, using agents to build infrastructure, improve delivery, investigate incidents, and strengthen our defenses. You’ll also build the environments, permissions, and verification systems that let the rest of engineering do the same.\nYou are AI-pilled. You already use agents to do substantial engineering work, and you believe they will change how infrastructure is built, operated, and attacked. You know conventional defenses are a necessary foundation, but it won’t be enough for the world that’s emerging. You want to build defenses that hold up against adversaries using agents-and use agents yourself to detect, investigate, and respond.\nThis is a hands-on individual contributor role. You’ll report to the Head of Engineering and own production infrastructure and the systems that keep it reliable and secure.\nWe prefer candidates who can work from our Broomfield office at least three days per week. Remote arrangements are available for exceptional candidates.\nWhat you’ll do\nOwn the platform through production. Build and operate cloud infrastructure, networking, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and developer environments. Make secure deployments easy, systems observable, and recovery dependable.\nBuild the infrastructure for agentic engineering. Give engineers and agents repeatable environments, scoped access, and reliable workflows for provisioning resources, running checks, diagnosing failures, and shipping changes. Build verification, rollback, and recovery into the process.\nSecure our own agents. Design scoped identities, short-lived credentials, isolated execution environments, tool permissions, and audit trails. Test defenses against malicious instructions, compromised inputs, credential exposure, and misuse of access.\nMake security part of daily operations. Improve vulnerability management, secrets handling, access reviews, software supply chain security, and detection. Turn recurring investigations and manual procedures into tested automation.\nOwn reliability and incident response. Improve telemetry, alerting, runbooks, and recovery procedures. Respond to production failures and security events, identify root causes, and make changes that prevent recurrence.\nUse agents to defend against agentic intrusions. Build workflows that proactively discover vulnerabilities and ship verified fixes before attackers can exploit them. Investigate suspicious activity, correlate evidence, and support containment and response. Test agent failure modes, measure effectiveness, and expand autonomy as they prove reliable.\nMust-haves\n7+ years in platform engineering, infrastructure, SRE, DevOps, or a closely related discipline, with meaningful ownership of production systems.\nConviction and experience in AI-based development. Agents are central to how you work today. You’ve shipped substantial work with them and understand specification, decomposition, context management, and verification.\nCloud and automation depth. Hands-on experience with a major cloud platform, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, containers, networking, and observability.\nSecurity fundamentals and operational judgment. You understand least privilege, secrets management, network boundaries, and secure deployment practices. You can reason about compromised workloads and credentials, limit blast radius, and plan for recovery.\nWhat else you bring\nStartup experience and urgency. You’ve shipped on a small team with limited resources and changing priorities. You keep scope tight and make practical decisions with incomplete information.\nAn engineering approach to operations. You write and review code, debug across system boundaries, and build durable automation for recurring problems.\nA drive to build agentic defenses. You want to use agents to proactively discover vulnerabilities, prioritize risk, and ship verified fixes before attackers can exploit them. You also want to detect, investigate, and contain attacks, including those carried out by other agents. You evaluate agent performance against evidence and understand where human judgment remains necessary.\nAccountability after deployment. You stay responsible for what you ship, including changes produced by agents. You can explain how you verified a change, what could fail, and how you would recover.\nClear communication. You write useful technical plans and runbooks, explain tradeoffs, and work effectively across engineering and security. You reconsider when the evidence changes.\nNice-to-haves\nHands-on cybersecurity or information security operations experience, including detection engineering, threat hunting, incident response, or SOC automation.\nRelevant security certifications such as CCSP, CISSP, or GCIH, or equivalent hands-on experience securing cloud infrastructure and responding to incidents.\nBuilding security automation around SIEM, EDR, cloud audit logs, or identity systems.\nSecuring agent tools and execution environments against prompt injection, data exfiltration, and excessive permissions.\nAzure, Terraform, and GitHub Actions experience.\nBuilding agent tooling, evaluation harnesses, or developer infrastructure that other engineers adopted.\nExperience operating payments or other critical financial infrastructure.\nExperience managing the technical implementation of SOC 2.\nInterview process\nWe’ll assess your infrastructure judgment, security experience, and agentic engineering skills through practical evaluation. Expect to discuss systems you’ve owned, controls you’ve operated, and substantial work you’ve shipped with agents. We’ll explore what went wrong, how you investigated it, and how you determined the work was ready for production.\n*** There will be an in-person, on-site technical interview at our office. ***","description_format":"text","description_chars":6767,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Software & Embedded Finance","Payment Processing & Gateways"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-19T18:15:58Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/straddle-senior-agentic-infrastructure-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/straddle-senior-agentic-infrastructure-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T19:30:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10089,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3875899},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3875899"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fstraddle-senior-agentic-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fstraddle-senior-agentic-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fstraddle-senior-agentic-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/straddle-senior-agentic-infrastructure-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fstraddle-senior-agentic-infrastructure-engineer"}]}
