Company Description

BNDRY is a modern compliance platform that helps regulated organisations manage AML/CTF, financial crime, customer due diligence, monitoring, reporting and regulatory obligations. We work with fintechs, banks, gaming venues and registered clubs. We believe compliance should empower growth, not hold it back.

Application Note

Our team values the use of tools which increase productivity and efficiency, but we value clarity and communication skills even more. Applications which are human-written and personalised are preferred, AI-generated applications may simply be ignored or discarded.

Role Description The Senior Platform Engineer builds and runs the infrastructure, delivery pipelines and operational tooling that let BNDRY's engineers ship safely and keep customer-facing systems secure, available and cost-efficient. The role works alongside the existing platform engineer to share ownership of reliability and security, and to raise the maturity of how we deploy, observe and recover.

Key Responsibilities

Responsibilities are indicative, not exhaustive, and will evolve as the company and platform mature.

Infrastructure and delivery

- Design, build and maintain cloud infrastructure as code, so that environments are repeatable and reviewed like application code.
- Own and improve CI/CD pipelines so changes move from local to production quickly, safely and with a clear rollback path.
- Run and improve container and orchestration platforms for production environments.

Reliability and observability

- Set up and maintain monitoring, logging, alerting and dashboards that show customer-facing health, not just server health.
- Take part in the on-call and incident process: respond, restore service, write up what happened, and see the fixes through.
- Define and track service-level targets, and plan capacity ahead of customer and data growth.

Security and compliance

- Build security into the platform: least-privilege access, secrets management, network boundaries, patching, vulnerability scanning and backups with tested restores.
- Provide accurate technical evidence for customer security reviews,



penetration tests and certification and due diligence requests.

Engineering partnership and cost

- Work with software engineers to make the platform simple to use, and document how it works, including its limits and risks.
- Track and reduce infrastructure and data-platform cost without compromising resilience.
- Evaluate new tools and approaches and recommend adopting them only where they solve a real problem.

Decision-making and authority

This section sets out where the role uses its own judgement and when it escalates.

- Decides: infrastructure-as-code design within approved architecture, pipeline and tooling changes, alert thresholds and runbooks, and how to respond to an incident in progress.
- Influences: platform architecture, tool and vendor selection, release practices, and security standards for the whole engineering team.
- Escalates to the CTO: material security or availability risk, changes with significant cost or customer impact, and decisions that alter hosting or data-residency commitments.

Accountabilities and outcomes

This section describes what success looks like and is the basis for performance conversations.

- Production is reliable, with incidents detected by monitoring before customers report them and followed by lasting fixes.
- Engineers can deploy to production safely and often, through automated and repeatable pipelines.
- Infrastructure is defined in code, reviewed, and reproducible in a new environment.
- The platform meets a clear security baseline, and the evidence is ready when a customer or auditor asks.
- Recovery has been proven: backups restore, and the team has rehearsed the response to major failures.
- Infrastructure cost is visible and trending in line with usage.

Capability requirements

This section covers the experience and skills needed to perform the role. It reflects role expectations, not conditions of employment.

Essential





- 5+ years in platform, infrastructure or site reliability engineering, running production systems for paying customers.
- Strong working knowledge of AWS, Kubernetes and Terraform (or equivalent infrastructure as code).
- Proficiency in at least one programming language used in our stack, such as Go, TypeScript or Python, to automate and build tooling.
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD, monitoring and alerting, and incident response.
- Practical security skills: identity and access, secrets, network design, patching and vulnerability management.
- Ability to document plans, designs and runbooks clearly, including limitations and risks.
- A proactive, outcome-focused way of working, independently and as part of a small team.

Desirable

- Experience in regulated environments such as financial services, compliance or gaming.
- Familiarity with Github Actions, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Temporal, Keycloak or other identity providers, and Metabase.
- Experience with Azure or other cloud platforms.
- Experience with, or knowledge of, multi-region environment setups.
- Exposure to security certification or customer security assessments (for example ISO 27001 or SOC 2).

Working relationships

This section describes who the role works with and why, focusing on collaboration and influence rather than reporting lines.

- Works closely with the existing platform engineer to share ownership of infrastructure, reliability and security.
- Partners with the technical lead and software engineers on release, performance and workplace needs.
- Works with the CTO on architecture, risk, cost and security posture.
- Supports customer success and sales with accurate answers on hosting, security and availability.
- Manages relationships with cloud, tooling and security vendors, and assessors where required.

Role flexiblity The role holder may be required to perform other duties reasonably within their skills and experience, consistent with the scope of the role.
