The Role
As our Platform Engineer / SRE, you'll build and run the cloud infrastructure that the rest of Murmuration is built on. Reporting to the Chief Technology Officer, you'll set up our infrastructure, CI/CD, and observability, and own the reliability and security of a platform that credit unions rely on to serve their members.
About Murmuration
Murmuration is a new technology company building the core platform that credit unions run on. We provide the software, payments, and data infrastructure that lets a credit union offer its members modern digital banking without having to build or run the technology itself.
Credit unions are member-owned and rooted in their communities, but many still operate on systems that are decades old, which limits what they can offer their members. We're building the alternative.
We're a new company, putting our platform and our first engineering team in place now, with the backing of an established group. For people who join early, that means a real say in the product, the architecture, and how the company works.
