We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Overview, What You'll Do, What We're Looking For, Benefits And Perks, maybe Pay? No explicit pay. Schedule? Not explicit. So include sections where content exists: Overview (maybe as About the role?), What You'll Do (Responsibilities), What We're Looking For (Requirements/Qualifications/Skills), Benefits And Perks (Benefits). Also maybe include a short paragraph for metadata like company description? The overview includes company description and platform team description. Could be "About the role" or "Overview". The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map sections accordingly.
We have:
- Overview: includes company description and platform team description. Could be "About the role". We'll put
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map sections accordingly.
We have:
- Overview: includes company description and platform team description. Could be "About the role". We'll put About the role
then paragraphs.
- What You'll Do: responsibilities. Use Responsibilities
then - items.
- What We're Looking For: requirements. Could be
Requirements
then list.
- Benefits And Perks: benefits. Use Benefits
then list.
We must not repeat job title. No Pay or Schedule sections because not specified.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. At end there is EEO statement; we should drop that. Also drop "If you require any accommodations..." etc. Also drop "Credit Genie is a proud Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also drop "Your actual level and base salary will be determined..." maybe that's pay info but it's vague; it says base salary will be determined case-by-case; that's not specific pay, so we should not create Pay section. However we could include that as a paragraph under Benefits? Probably not; it's about compensation but not specific. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits, so we include Benefits. It does not state specific pay, so we omit Pay.
We need to include all substantive info from overview, responsibilities, requirements, benefits. Also maybe include "What We're Looking For" includes both core and strongly preferred; we can combine into a list.
We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. Also remove application instructions (none). Also remove "Founded in 2019..." etc is part of overview; keep.
Let's extract text.
Company description: "Company Credit Genie is a mobile-first financial wellness platform designed to help individuals take control of their financial future. We leverage artificial intelligence to provide personalized insights and are building a financial ecosystem by offering tools and services that provide instant access to cash, and building credit. Our goal is to empower every customer to achieve long-term financial stability. Founded in 2019 by Ed Harycki, former Swift Capital Founder (acquired by PayPal in 2017). Backed by Khosla Ventures and led by industry pioneers from companies such as; PayPal, Square, and Cash App, we are well positioned to build the future of inclusive finance through cutting-edge technology and customer-centric solutions."
Overview paragraph: "Overview The Platform team owns the infrastructure Credit Genie runs on: the AWS environment, deployments, observability, and the SOC 2 and PCI-DSS controls that keep customer financial data safe. We're also building the AI infrastructure our engineers use every day. When this team does its job well, engineers ship without worrying about what's underneath them and audits find real controls instead of gaps. As a Senior DevOps / SRE Engineer on this team, you'll own reliability and deployments across our AWS and Kubernetes environment, take real ownership of our compliance work, and help build the AI infrastructure and new product foundations we're investing in next. This is a rare chance to join a fast-growing fintech startup where your work directly protects the systems our users depend on."
That's overview.
Responsibilities (What You'll Do): bullet points:
- Core reliability and infrastructure Own reliability, deployments, observability, and incident response across our AWS environment (Kubernetes/EKS, Datadog, CI/CD, networking), supporting backend, mobile, data, ML, and AI engineering teams.
- Maintain, optimize, and improve our AWS infrastructure footprint to align with industry best standards and scalability requirements.
- Own our infrastructure-as-code stack (Terraform/OpenTofu). Hands-on AWS CDK experience is a strong plus.
- Reduce our dependence on any single vendor by favoring open standards and swappable tooling where it makes sense.
- Compliance Take real, hands-on ownership of SOC 2 and PCI-DSS work. Not just documenting controls, but building and operating the systems that make them genuinely true in production.
- Partner directly with our security function to close real gaps as they surface, including network segmentation and traffic inspection.
- CI/CD and deployments Make deploys and rollbacks easier, more predictable, and more consistent across the org.
- Consolidate and speed up CI/CD pipelines that currently span multiple tools and are evolving to support services in TypeScript/Node, Python, and Kotlin as our engineering team’s specialized use cases grow.
- AI infrastructure and product builds Build and extend our internal AI infrastructure: the gateway/middleware layer, MCP integrations, the knowledge graph, and tooling that makes AI use across engineering cheaper, faster, and more accurate.
- Stand up greenfield infrastructure for new products, without inheriting our existing tech debt or migration constraints.
- Across all of it Share a real on-call rotation and absorb interrupt-driven support in a way that protects everyone's ability to also do focused project work.
- Help us get more efficient and cost-effective as we scale, from investigation through implementation.
We need to split into list items; each bullet can be a - . Might be long but okay.
Requirements (What We're Looking For): Core, non-negotiable DevOps/SRE depth and a genuine backend engineering background. You've written and shipped real software, not only infrastructure code. We don't need you to build customer-facing features, but we need you to think like a software engineer when you design platform, tooling, and systems.
Strong hands-on AWS, plus production experience with observability/monitoring (Datadog, OpenTelemetry, or similar), CI/CD, compute, and networking.
Experience managing Kubernetes clusters in multiple environments.
Experience with Terraform or comparable infrastructure-as-code tooling.
Experience at an early-stage startup where you built DevOps/infra from scratch, or at a company going through a growth stage where you had to scale it under real pressure.
Real willingness to own compliance work (SOC 2/PCI-DSS), not just support it.
Strongly Preferred:
Experience with AI/LLM tooling, MCP, model gateways, or internal developer platforms for AI.
Prior SOC 2 and/or PCI-DSS experience, ideally with a specific control or finding you helped remediate.
Exposure to security engineering.
Experience with AWS CDK (especially TypeScript).
Experience reducing vendor lock-in or migrating between data stores at scale (for example, NoSQL to relational).
We can combine into a single list, maybe separate core vs preferred but not required. We'll just list all.
Benefits: list:
- 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents on your first day of employment.
- Receive up to $100 per month in fitness reimbursement or enjoy a complimentary full membership to LifeTime Fitness or Equinox.
- 401(k) with a 3.5% match and immediate vesting
- Meal program available for both lunch and dinner
- Pre-tax benefits, including a $1,000 HSA match
- Life and accidental insurance
- Flexible PTO
- Also mention: You will also have access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, a 401(k) retirement plan with company match, short & long term disability insurance, life insurance, and flexible PTO along with many other benefits and perks. (But that's somewhat duplicate; we can keep unique items.)
We should not repeat duplicated lines. The benefits list already includes medical etc; the later sentence repeats. We'll keep the list items as given.
We must not include EEO boilerplate etc.
