About PayCargo:
Millions of shipments with goods and materials move around the world daily, by land, sea, or air. PayCargo is the world's leading online payment solution that is revolutionizing the shipping and cargo world. With a fast and efficient way to reduce costs associated with payment processing, we help improve the speed and profitability of our customers' businesses.
PayCargo's platform connects payers and vendors across the cargo and logistics ecosystem, supporting payments, remittance data, integrations, vendor release workflows, and customer-facing digital experiences.
About the Role:
The Senior Engineer, DevOps/Platform Reliability is responsible for building and operating the infrastructure, pipelines, and platform standards that keep PayCargo's global payments platform reliable, observable, and supportable. The role spans the full platform — EC2-based services, scheduled jobs, and file processing alongside containerized (ECS/Fargate) and serverless (Lambda) workloads — across a multi-account AWS environment, Terraform, and a GitHub and ZenHub workflow that ships through GitHub Actions and GitHub OIDC, with a focus on modernizing how PayCargo builds, deploys, and runs software. As one example, PayCargo's SFTP runs on AWS Transfer Family with a Lambda identity provider.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role. The Senior Engineer, DevOps/Platform Reliability modernizes legacy scheduled jobs and file processes into containerized, observable services, codifies infrastructure as repeatable Terraform patterns, and creates standards that other developers can follow without depending on a single person for every implementation. The role requires strong judgment, strong follow-through, and a focus on reducing reactive fire drills and single points of failure.
Working within PayCargo's DevSecOps model, the Senior Engineer, DevOps/Platform Reliability partners closely with Security, Engineering, Architecture, Product, Support, and executive stakeholders to deliver scalable, secure, and repeatable platform execution.
This position has no direct reports. The role leads indirectly by defining infrastructure and deployment standards, guiding engineers toward repeatable patterns, and reducing single points of failure across the platform.
As the Senior Engineer, DevOps/Platform Reliability, you will:Infrastructure & Platform Modernization
- Modernize legacy scheduled jobs, cron scripts, and file processes into containerized (ECS/Fargate), observable, supportable services
- Build and maintain infrastructure patterns in Terraform, with reusable modules, remote state, and plan/apply through CI
- Standardize environment configuration, secrets management (Secrets Manager and SSM Parameter Store), and repeatable deployment paths across environments and accounts
