High Performance at Neo

We recruit, hire, and build our company culture around these attributes:

Teamwork: We trust, respect, encourage, and show up for each other — through good times and hard. We're on this mission not just for ourselves, but also for the people we work with — and ultimately, for our customers.

Ownership: We all have a stake in Neo's success — so we go out of our way to do what needs to get done. We hold ourselves accountable to deliver on our commitments — to our customers, to our partners, and to our team. When we fall short, we find a way to do better in the future.

The Role

Neo Financial is looking for a full-time Senior Infrastructure Engineer (AWS) in Calgary, AB.

As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Neo you'll be collaborating with a team of dedicated people to build, maintain, and improve upon our cutting-edge cloud architecture. Successful candidates make continuous improvements through a “configuration as code” approach to infrastructure and systems

What you'll be doing

• Working closely with Amazon AWS every day
• Crafting elegant Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules (using Terraform) to ensure repeatable and maintainable cloud deployments
• Improving containerized infrastructure behind our cutting-edge GraphQL microservice architecture in AWS (using EKS, Fargate, & more)
• Employing serverless solutions to achieve massive scale and reliability without breaking the bank
• Spinning up, maintaining, monitoring, and securing a variety of data platforms, including PostgreSQL, MongoDB Atlas, Elasticsearch, or Redis – we believe in using the right tool for every job
• Improving network design and AWS networking infrastructure to optimize for cost, performance, security, reliability and scalability
• Developing tools and improving processes to make it easier for developers to ship code and work with our cloud resources
• Jumping in on production incidents if they occur, and helping us learn and improve
• Developing tools and practices to detect and defend us from infrastructure-centric security attacks: bots, DDOS attacks, and other evolving threats
• Collaborating with stakeholders from across Neo to ensure secure, reliable, and scalable cloud solutions are available to everyone

Who we are looking for

• A history of creating and maintaining cloud infrastructure professionally; you've deployed resources and managed containerized applications on a cloud provider like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.
• You know your way around the web console (and other tools) for one or more cloud service providers.
• Experience creating infrastructure with code, using Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK, Ansible, etc.
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines to automate how software moves from development to production.
• Understanding of how networks operate, how the internet works, how the web works, how data is transferred. Familiarity with AWS-specific concepts like Transit Gateway and PrivateLink.
• Experience working professionally with common development tools like Git and Github.
• Strong scripting skills with Bash or similar; comfortable working in a Unix-based terminal environment.
• Working experience securing cloud deployments and APIs; familiarity with the systems of policies, roles or permissions in the cloud.
• Strong software development skills – we're not picky about which language you're best with, but programming is a big part of the role.
