DevOps Engineer

OVERVIEW

We're looking for DevOps Engineers to join our Engineering team. In this role, you will build innovative payments products that delight both engineering and finance teams. As one of our first engineers, you will help shape the engineering culture of a fast-growing startup.

The core platform at Modern Treasury sits between our customers and their banks and accounting systems. In the same way that Segment has removed the need to integrate with multiple systems like Mixpanel and Google Analytics, we have built a generalized system for payment operations. This is a massive opportunity because every company has complex payments needs.

Our API is often the most critical piece of infrastructure that our customers use. We place a high premium on building robust, scalable systems with well-thought out interfaces for our users.

We believe in using the best tool for the job, rather than always using open source or building things ourselves. We actively embrace open source in parts... of our system but aren't afraid to roll our own solution for things like writing and parsing bank files. We also contribute to open source (for example, https://www.moderntreasury.com/journal/continuous-accounting-building-on-an-open-source-library).

In addition to our API, we have had a web platform since day 1 that is used by accountants, controllers, and engineers. They use our platform to do things like manage payment workflows and monitor their business. As an engineer, you will work with our product team to build features for these users.

ABOUT MODERN TREASURY

Modern Treasury builds payment operations solutions. Our tools automate the full cycle of money movement—from payment initiation, through approvals, to reconciliation—and are accessible through web application or API.

We believe that payment operations is at the core of every business. We’re a lean team and we work hard to build outstanding products for our customers. When we succeed, our customers grow.
