Full Job Description

Few people get to build a bank from scratch. Even fewer get to build one at a moment when banking itself is being reinvented. The dollar is the best product in the history of the world, with practically infinite global demand, but distribution is broken. Global clearing runs on legacy banks that are closed 115 days a year, built for humans and take two days to settle. Augustus is the update to the internet era. We received conditional approval from the OCC to charter America’s first stablecoin-native clearing bank that is always open, made for machines, at the speed of compute. We are a group of operators, unicorn early employees, ex-founders and people who walked away from degrees because they believe this is an industry and career defining opportunity. We're backed with $40M from Peter Thiel’s Valar Ventures, Creandum and founders of Ramp, Deel and Circle. We are regulated in Europe and live with Euro and Stablecoin clearing today. Now, we are building the US team from the ground up, while continuing to grow rapidly in Europe. THE ROLE You are DevOps #2. You join a Lead DevOps who has laid the groundwork - now you help scale it. You'll shape the infrastructure, automation, and reliability standards that let the entire engineering team ship faster and more safely. You own big projects and drive them autonomously. You'll build and operate the platform that everything runs on - AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, observability, incident response, end to end. You work across engineering, security, and product to turn infrastructure into a competitive advantage. You design for failure, automate everything you can, and raise the bar for what production-grade means at a bank run by agents. YOUR FIRST SIX MONTHS Ramp up and ship a big project in your first weeks on the job: - Month 1-2: You ramp up on the current infrastructure - how deployments work, where the rough edges are, what is automated and what is not. You pick up your first big project as an IC and
