About Vlipco

At Vlipco we want builders who are always thinking about how their works impacts the business and the overall experience of our users. We celebrate creative thinking and open minded solutions. We are team players that can be critical of ourselves, we are proactive and autonomous, yet open to collaboration and collective creativity. We are small team operating in a high impact sector that needs deep transformation to serve the wider community - this means you have a chance to shape the company and the product, and to have a real impact on the financial sector in Latin America. We make decisions as a team, guided by our value and honest conversations were we ponder, often agree and always commit.

Why we need you

Vlipco serves financial institutions in a Software as a Service model with very strict SLAs and compliance requirements. This means automation is key to meeting our customers expectations and so is the implementation of best practices for monitoring, alerting and health checks, which must be implemented according to both customer expectations and our size. We are currently working on expanding to new countries in the region and you will help us transform the existing infrastructure to serve multiple financial institutions in different countries, while keeping a unified payments core. Together with the backend and frontend developers you will help us ensure we are stable, fast and secure. Finally, we need a tech evaluator with great judgement, who considers maturity, security, maintainability, durability and organizational constraints before implementing solutions : e.g. you respect that Kubernetes is an epic piece of work but you think it may not be the right solution for all the teams.
