WHO WE ARE

At ZayZoon, we are on a mission to save ten million hardworking employees ten billion dollars. We’ve created a financial empowerment platform that helps businesses of all sizes make a big impact on employee financial wellness.
We offer a variety of financial wellness services like earned wage access, that allows employees to access their earned wages ahead of payday. With 74% of ZayZoon customers reporting reduced financial stress, we know our solutions help lead to happier and more productive employees.
We are fully remote across Canada & the US. ZayZoon was also recognized for its growth in the 2023 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 and top-10 growth companies in Canada by CIX awards. Further, our recent funding extension has raised our Series B funding round to nearly $50 million USD.

We are looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to take ZayZoon’s cloud infrastructure to the next level with complex AWS builds, infrastructure-as-code, and observability/logging/APM solutions. You’ll work in an embedded reliability team, alongside app and data engineers, to monitor, benchmark, and scale Zayzoon’s products. You will work with first class technologies and staff to leverage all the goodies AWS has to offer, as well as creating a bridge between our bare metal infrastructure and our Ruby on Rails production app. Predictability, reliability, and scalability are your three favourite words.

• Manage deployment pipelines, including blue/green and intelligent auto-scaling
• Maintain and stay ahead of resource dependencies, particularly database (RDS, ElastiCache/Redis), including updates, playbooks, downtime planning
• Project costs and implement AWS cost savings programs and reserved instances
• Work alongside our risk and security teams to ensure ongoing SOC-2 and cybersecurity compliances
• Extensive collaboration with app developers on shared metrics, database performance, load testing
• Extensive collaboration with data engineers on facilitating data warehouse development, ELT, ETL
• Participating in our agile development process: sprint planning, story grooming and stand ups
• Adherence to our SDLC and secure coding practises and environment
