About Themis
Themis is a collaborative governance, risk, and compliance platform helping banks, credit unions, and fintechs streamline oversight, strengthen compliance programs, and move faster with confidence.
Our customers operate in highly regulated environments where strong governance, risk management, and compliance practices are critical. We partner closely with financial institutions and fintechs to help them build scalable, effective oversight programs, strengthen third-party oversight, and navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
At Themis, we believe great companies are built through partnership, expertise, ownership, and execution. We’re looking for team members who are excited to solve meaningful problems, build trusted relationships, and help shape the future of governance, risk, and compliance.
About the Role
We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to build and operate the infrastructure that keeps Themis secure, reliable, and fast as we scale.
In this role you’ll own the systems that let our engineers ship with confidence: cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and the security and compliance controls our customers in financial services expect. You’ll automate the toilsome, harden the critical, and help us maintain the kind of reliability and trust that regulated institutions require.
The ideal candidate is pragmatic and security-minded, comfortable owning infrastructure end to end, and motivated by making other engineers more productive. You treat reliability and security as features, not afterthoughts.
Working Hours & Availability
Themis is a remote-first team. Engineering operates with flexible working hours and supports asynchronous work, but all engineers are expected to maintain meaningful daily overlap with our core collaboration hours of approximately 11:00 AM–4:00 PM ET for standups, pairing, code review, and time-sensitive work.
This role participates in a shared on-call rotation and requires availability outside of standard business hours to respond to incidents, maintain uptime, and support production systems. We aim to keep on-call sustainable through fair rotations, strong tooling, and follow-up to reduce recurring issues.
We support flexibility where possible, but regular or extended blocks of unavailable time during core hours should be discussed and aligned in advance.
What You’ll Do
Infrastructure & Automation
Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code
Own and improve CI/CD pipelines to enable fast, safe, and frequent deployments
Automate provisioning, configuration, scaling, and routine operational tasks
Manage containerized workloads and orchestration (e.g., Docker and Kubernetes)
Reliability & Observability
Build monitoring, logging, alerting, and dashboards to ensure system health and performance
Define and improve incident response processes and participate in on-call rotations
Drive reliability improvements, capacity planning, and performance tuning
Lead blameless post-incident reviews and follow through on corrective actions
Security & Compliance
Implement and maintain security controls, access management, and secrets management
Support audit, SOC 2, and other compliance requirements relevant to financial services customers
Partner with engineering to embed security and compliance into the development lifecycle
Required Qualifications
Experience operating production infrastructure on a major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)
Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
Experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
Strong scripting or programming skills (e.g., Python, Go, or Bash)
Solid understanding of networking, security, and observability fundamentals
Ability to own systems end to end and manage incidents calmly
Preferred Qualifications
Experience supporting SOC 2, audits, or other compliance and security frameworks
Experience in financial services, fintech, or other regulated or high-availability environments
Experience with secrets management, identity, and zero-trust patterns
Experience scaling infrastructure at a startup or high-growth company
Familiarity with AI and automation tooling for operations
What We Value
The people who thrive at Themis tend to share a common set of characteristics:
Hunger & Ownership
We act like owners. We take initiative, spot gaps, and drive results for both our customers and the company.
Radical Accountability
We own outcomes without blame or excuses. We communicate early, learn from mistakes, and stay focused on solutions.
Problem Solver Mentality
We are builders, not blockers. We bring recommendations, options, and next steps, not just problems.
Mission & Customer Focus
Our customers trust us with critical compliance work. We take that seriously, advocate for their needs, and look for ways to deliver real value.
Low Ego, High Impact
We care more about solving problems than getting credit. We stay collaborative, coachable, and ready to jump in wherever needed.
Adaptability & Resilience
We stay flexible and steady through change. When priorities shift or challenges come up, we keep moving forward.
Curiosity & Continuous Learning
We are excited to learn. We dig into how the product works, investigate issues, use AI and automation thoughtfully, and keep growing into trusted experts.
Why Join Themis?
At Themis, you’ll own infrastructure that customers in highly regulated industries trust with critical work. You’ll have real ownership, the freedom to automate and improve, and a direct impact on how fast and safely we ship.
If you care about reliability, security, and developer experience and want to build them at a growing company, we’d love to hear from you.
