About Scratch
Scratch's mission is to build a repayment platform to change the way consumers experience debt. Most of us take on debt to help us get ahead, or in many cases, to not fall behind. But for most of us—despite its necessity—once we have debt, it doesn't play a healthy role in our lives. It can be hard to understand, difficult to manage, and unaccommodating to changes in our lives.
This is why we started Scratch. We wanted to reinvent the loan servicing industry, well—from scratch. We wanted to create a world where debt plays a healthier and less taxing role in more people's lives. By bringing world-class product and technical thinking to a multi-trillion industry that hasn't seen innovation in well over two decades, Scratch's platform empowers borrowers to have greater control, visibility and flexibility over their financial health, removing the traditional loan servicer from the equation altogether and bringing borrowers closer to their lenders.
Our team is rapidly growing and comes from diverse backgrounds including Dropbox, Pinterest, Prosper, Bloomberg and Ripple. Our office is based in San Francisco.
With a rapidly growing community of lenders and borrowers, we think it's time the world knows there's a better way to pay back their loans. We'd love for you to join in our mission and help play a role in changing the way we experience debt for the better!
The Scratch platform presents many exciting challenges and opportunities for designing, architecting, and operating complex systems. Our APIs and user experience cater to both enterprise (Lenders, Creditors) and consumer (Borrowers, Internal Operations) personas. What's at stake? Scratch aims to be the source of truth for trillions of dollars. Our novel platform must ensure accuracy and precision on non-trivial math down to seven decimal places with zero data loss or security compromises, resiliency to handle a massive volume of loans at scale, and the flexibility to service new and innovative financial instruments.
About the Role
As Senior Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer, you’ll be responsible for all aspects of production deployment, developer tooling, infrastructure operations, and implementing integrations that meet our customers’ needs. In this role, you’ll work with your team to design, build and operate shared utilities and infrastructure other engineers use in their everyday development. You’ll leverage in-house libraries, open-source tools, and AWS services to help create reliable code deployment pipelines and cloud infrastructure that powers the Scratch platform. The systems you and your team will put in place will shape the future of loan servicing and debt.
The ideal candidate has a solid background in software engineering, cloud-native platform design, and a passion for working with engineers to ensure that software development follows established processes and operates as intended. The Senior DevOps Engineer will also help plan complex development projects and be involved in critical project management decisions.
