Job description
Site Reliability Engineering Lead (Infrastructure, Security and Platforms) at Hadrius (W23)
Automating Securities Compliance
New York, NY, US Full-time US citizen/visa only 6+ years Amazon Web Services (AWS) Kubernetes Information Security Software Security
Hadrius automates and consolidates securities compliance for investment firms. To do this, we’re building the automated back office for financial firms, using AI to analyze millions of data points from emails to text messages, marketing copy, investment accounts, filings, and more to identify regulatory violations.
Today, over 300+ financial institutions managing $4T+ AUM rely on Hadrius to automate their regulatory compliance. We’re the fastest growing company in the space and the emerging category leader, going from our launch out of the YC W23 batch to $XMs+ ARR in under 24 months and haven’t slowed down since. We have a world‑class team and product competing against legacy software that hasn't innovated in decades, and are looking for exceptional people dedicated to our shared mission to join.
About the role
This is a full‑time role as a Senior SRE with a focus on Kubernetes, infra, security & platforms, located onsite in New York, NY.
About you
You’re hard working, ambitious and you prefer to "lead from the front". As a leader on the team, folks will be looking to you as an example of success and you value being a role model and force multiplier for others on the team.
You’re looking for a fast growing startup. Here’s our revenue growth and head count growth .
You’re looking for teammates, not coworkers - folks you’ll be able to count on to in a pinch and make your team’s goals possible. Here’s a bonus picture of our CTO’s son closing his first sale.
About the role
You will work directly with the founding team to turn infrastructure and security projects into new and significant revenue . Incumbents in our space are bloated, on outdated infrastructure and getting hacked . This presents an exciting opportunity for Hadrius to make a clean and fast break into mega‑large firms like JP Morgan with security as a key differentiator.
We pride ourselves on our “hands off culture” by having very few meetings and giving engineers and creators a broad scope of responsibility and autonomy. You’ll be working in‑person 5 days/week in our lower‑Manhattan NYC office, building side‑by‑side with the rest of the team. Our tech stack is django/python, react/next/typescript, running on Kubernetes (EKS) and Terraform on AWS.
