Platform Engineer

Job Overview

At finmid, we’re building infrastructure that integrates access to capital for SMEs directly into the platforms they use daily. We leverage technology, data, and strategic partnerships to deliver financing solutions that significantly outperform traditional financial services - offering SMEs faster, simpler, and more transparent access to funding. As we expand across Europe, our Latvian subsidiary, licensed as a European Crowdfunding Service Provider by the Bank of Latvia, plays a critical role. Our stack combines regulated financial infrastructure with modern software engineering. The gap between those two things is exactly where this role lives.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and manage our cloud infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes.


• Build and improve CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and internal platforms.


• Evaluate, integrate, and roll out new tools and services across the company.


• Partner with product and business teams to remove bottlenecks and ship faster.


• Own production systems end-to-end — from design decisions to incident response.


• Raise the bar on security, observability, and engineering standards.

Required Qualifications

You're a pragmatist. You find the simplest solution that actually works, not the most impressive one. You're comfortable with infrastructure. You have hands-on experience with containers, orchestration, and cloud platforms (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, or similar). You write clean, maintainable code. We mostly work in Kotlin and TypeScript, but we won't filter you out over a language. You communicate well. You can explain technical decisions to non-technical people and collaborate across teams without friction. You want to grow. You're not looking for a role where you do the same thing every day. You want to stretch.
