  • Manage infrastructure setup for clients, including provisioning SFTP servers and keypairs with Pulumi
  • Collaborate with bank IT teams to configure SSO in Auth0 based on their identity providers
  • Coordinate onboarding for third-party digital banking integrations like Q2, serving as the glue between ModernFi, the client, and the partner

  • Build tooling, dashboards, or internal features (using Python, Retool, etc.) that make your work more efficient and scalable

  • Translate between technical and non-technical audiences with empathy and clarity

Requirements

  • Excellent communicator who can guide clients through technical setup and translate their needs to the engineering team
  • Excited by the idea of improving the customer experience through a mix of software, process, and grit
