Role overview
Lean Technologies is a fintech infrastructure platform that provides data and payment tools to enable financial technology innovation in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The company offers a universal API that enables fintech developers to seamlessly connect to customers’ bank accounts to initiate real-time payments, retrieve account information including balances and transaction histories, and access financial data in standardized formats. Founded in 2019, Lean operates as an integration layer on top of banking infrastructure in the Middle East and has processed over $2 billion in payment volumes through its account-to-account (A2A) payment solutions. The platform is regulated by the ADGM Financial Services Regulatory Authority in the UAE and licensed under the SAMA Regulatory Sandbox in Saudi Arabia.
What you will do
- Define and own the infrastructure architecture strategy across hybrid cloud environments including GCP, OCI, and on-premise data centers.
- Design and evolve Kubernetes platforms for multi-region scalability, resilience, and cost efficiency while establishing enterprise-grade GitOps and IaC standards.
- Partner with engineering leadership to drive automation, lead incident management, and mentor senior engineers across the DevOps and infrastructure domains.
Who this is a fit for
- 8+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering with a proven track record of designing and operating complex distributed systems at scale.
- Deep technical expertise in Kubernetes, Linux internals, networking (TCP/IP, DNS, VPNs), and Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform.
- Strong programming proficiency in Python or Go, with experience navigating multi-cloud environments and high-security compliance frameworks like SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
Why this role is remarkable
- Shape the infrastructure strategy for a fast-scaling, regulated fintech platform at a pivotal growth moment rather than maintaining a mature, static system.
- Work with a high-caliber team backed by premier investors like Sequoia and General Catalyst, processing billions of dollars in transactions across the MENA region.
- Receive a meaningful equity stake in a company that has tripled in size over the last year and is expanding into new markets and products.
