Glomo builds fast, secure, and borderless payment products. Our real-time cross-border network connects local payment rails across countries, so customers move money across borders in seconds.

Glomo holds full authorisation as a Payment Service Provider, the first of its kind in India, and is regulated by IFSCA. Payment veterans with more than 100 years of combined experience in large payment products built and back Glomo.

As an Infrastructure Engineer at Glomo, you own the platform that every payment runs on. You design, build, and operate our systems on GCP and Kubernetes, and keep them available, secure, and compliant.

Our infrastructure moves real money for real customers every day. A failed deploy or a slow database is a failed payment. You make sure that the platform scales with our volume, recovers fast from failure, and passes regulatory and PCI-DSS audits.

Responsibilities

~2 min read

→
Run our cloud platform - design, build, and operate our GCP environments (production and sandbox) as infrastructure as code.
→
Own Kubernetes - operate our GKE clusters, deploy pipelines, autoscale, and rollout strategy for the Rails monolith, Sidekiq workers, and supporting services.
→
Keep data safe and fast - operate PostgreSQL (AlloyDB) and Redis: replication, read replicas, backups, point-in-time recovery, upgrades, and query and connection tuning.
→
Make failure boring - build and test disaster recovery and failover. Define SLOs, alerts, and runbooks, and lead the response when an incident occurs.
→
Give engineers visibility - own metrics, logs, and traces so that each team finds the cause of a problem in minutes.
→
Ship fast and safe - improve CI/CD so that engineers deploy many times a day with zero downtime.
→
Secure the platform - own network design, IAM, secrets management, and access control. Keep the platform compliant with PCI-DSS and regulator audits.
→
Control cost - measure and reduce cloud spend without loss of reliability.

→
Production infrastructure experience - 2-6 years of operation of production systems with real traffic, preferably in payments or fintech.
→
Strong GCP skills - hands-on experience with GKE, VPC networks, IAM, Cloud SQL or AlloyDB, and Cloud Load Balancing. Deep AWS experience also counts.
→
Kubernetes depth - run clusters in production and know Helm, autoscalers, resource limits, and safe rollouts.
→
Database operations - operate PostgreSQL at scale: replication, failover, backups, vacuum, and index and query tuning.
→
Infrastructure as code - build and maintain infrastructure with Terraform or an equivalent tool, and you review it like application code.
→
Scripting and automation - write clean, tested scripts and tools in Bash, Python, Go, or Ruby.
→
CI/CD expertise - build pipelines for trunk-based development with frequent, safe deploys.
→
Security awareness - protect financial data and customer PII by default: least-privilege access, encryption, and secrets management.
→
Ownership mentality - own systems from design to on-call, and you fix the root cause, not only the symptom.
→
Cross-functional collaboration - work closely with product engineers, security, and compliance to deliver changes.
