About the role

Build, operate and improve the cloud infrastructure and CI/CD systems that power Lorum’s clearing platform. Partner with backend, security, and product teams to deliver secure, observable, and reliable production services with strong automation and ownership.

• Operate and maintain Atlantis or other Git-driven Terraform automation for safe, auditable infra changes.
• CI/CD & developer workflows - Build and maintain GitHub Workflows / Actions pipelines for build, test, release and infra deployments.
• Improve developer DX: fast, reliable pipelines, automated testing, pre-merge checks, and environment provisioning.
• Reliability, observability & operations - Run production services: participate in on-call, incident response, postmortems and capacity planning.
• Instrument systems (metrics, logs, tracing) and use telemetry to drive reliability improvements.
• Security & compliance - Work with Security and GRC to meet SOC 2 / ISO 27001 and similar requirements: secure deployments, secrets management, IAM policies, and encryption at rest/in transit.
• Automation & tooling - Automate repetitive operational tasks, build self-service platforms for developers, and contribute internal tooling and runbooks.
• Collaboration & delivery - Partner with backend engineers to define deployment boundaries, APIs, and operational responsibilities.
• Review infra changes, mentor peers, and help maintain high engineering standards.
