We're looking for people who share our passion and are driven to tackle challenges, find solutions and make the financial space better for the communities we serve.

Our team is passionate about challenging the status quo of the credit industry by providing people accessible tools to take control of their credit.

We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. To that end, we seek to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool.

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will deploy, monitor, and maintain the production environment/services, taking a holistic view of system health, while ensuring that our platform is stable and balanced. Self's DevOps Engineers are a blend of pragmatic operators and software developers that apply sound engineering principles, operational discipline, and mature automation to our infrastructure.

  • Measure and optimize system performance to push our capabilities forward, get ahead of customer needs, and innovate to continually improve
  • Provide primary operational support for large, distributed software applications
  • Production performance and uptime analysis

What you'll bring:

  • 5+ years of administration experience with AWS
  • 5+ years of experience within a high-performance, 24x7, SRE/SysOps/DevOps team
  • 5+ years of experience with a version control system (e.g., Git)
  • Knowledge of one or more scripting languages (e.g., Python or Bash)
  • 2+ years of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform

Experience with the following technologies:

  • Modern web application frameworks
  • Pipeline-based SDLC automation such as GitLab, Jenkins Pipelines, AWS CodePipeline, or other automation tools
  • Delivering services via containers to AWS
  • Working in a security and compliance-sensitive industry or environment

Working knowledge of the following:

  • DNS
  • HTTP/HTTPS
  • Linux
  • SSH/SCP/SFTP
  • Ability to be flexible, multi-task, and organize priorities in a fast-paced work environment, while maintaining a high level of focus and accuracy

And these skills are a bonus:

  • Experience maintaining RDBMS systems (PostgreSQL preferred)
  • Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science
  • Experience with MLOps (DevOps for Machine Learning)
  • Experience building and leveraging AI driven tools

Base salary range: $105,000-156,000 annually. Individual pay is based on factors unique to each candidate, including skill set, experience, and other job-related reasons.

About Self Financial

Learn more about Self Financial and their company culture.

View company profile

We're here to help you build credit and savings and reach your financial goals.

It all started with some missed payments.

Self began in 2015 after a mistake with Founder James Garvey’s credit card that tanked his credit score. Looking for a way to rebuild his credit, James saw the challenges faced by millions of Americans with low or no credit.

Traditionally, to get credit, you needed credit. It’s a catch-22, and the system was set up against many of us. So Self created tools that work regardless of credit history or bank balance.

Today, Self continues to innovate — making credit building more accessible for everyone.

4 Million Builders served, and counting.

Better credit can open the door to achieving other goals. So whether you're simply a Credit Builder, or you’re set on becoming a Home Builder, a Car Builder, or a Life Builder, Self is here to help you make it possible.
