want to solve complex problems?
Frame is a compliance infrastructure company powering payments for complex, highly regulated industries. We enable businesses to move money with confidence by embedding compliance and payments into a single, intelligent platform. Our ambition is to become the infrastructure layer that regulated businesses rely on to operate, scale, and access services globally.
At Frame, how we build matters as much as what we build. Our values shape how we work, make decisions, and support our merchants. We're headquartered in Los Angeles with a globally distributed team. We're committed to running an inclusive and accessible hiring process. If you need any adjustments along the way, let us know.
The role
We are hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer to own the infrastructure that runs FrameOS. You will build and maintain the systems that keep Frame fast, reliable, and secure, working closely with engineering to raise the bar on deployment, observability, and incident response. Payment infrastructure has no room for surprises. Neither do we.
What you'll do
Own cloud infrastructure across AWS, including provisioning, scaling, and cost management. Build CI/CD pipelines that make deployment fast, predictable, and safe. Own the observability stack including logging, tracing, alerting, and the on-call workflows that respond to it. Manage Frame's security posture including access controls, secrets management, network segmentation, and audit trails. Run database infrastructure including PostgreSQL, Redis, and the replication and failover strategies behind them. Operate Kubernetes or equivalent container orchestration at scale.
what we require
5+ years of DevOps or infrastructure engineering experience. Strong AWS experience, including VPC, IAM, RDS, EKS, and related services. Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform, Pulumi, or CDK. Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines at production scale. A security-first mindset. You think about access, secrets, and attack surface before someone else asks. Low tolerance for fragile systems. You fix the root cause, not the symptom.
Experience in fintech, payments, or a regulated infrastructure environment is a strong plus, as is PCI-DSS, SOC 2, or similar compliance framework experience. Strong scripting in Python, Go, or Bash, or experience supporting engineering teams building high-reliability, low-latency financial systems, is also valued.
you are someone who
Treats reliability as a feature, not a backstop. You build infrastructure that other engineers can rely on without thinking about it, and you fix root causes rather than patching symptoms. You move quickly when systems are on fire and methodically when they aren't.

Be Decent. Be Direct. - We collaborate with respect, clarity, and care, even in disagreement.
The Discerning Eye - We care deeply about quality, detail, and craft in how things look, feel, and work.
