At Tilt, we see a side of people that traditional lenders miss. Our mobile-first products and machine learning-powered credit models look beyond credit scores, using over 250 real-time financial signals to recognize real potential. With millions of customers worldwide, we're not just changing how people access financial products — we're creating a new credit system that backs the working, whatever they're working toward.
The Opportunity: Senior / Staff Site Reliability Engineer (Infrastructure), APACTilt's APAC lending businesses — spanning the Philippines, India, and beyond — are some of our fastest-growing operations, and right now their infrastructure waits on a US-hours team that's mostly asleep when they're busiest. We're hiring a hands-on SRE based in APAC hours to close that gap: owning the cloud infrastructure end-to-end, driving the regional programs in flight, and being the senior technical voice for infrastructure in the region.
This is a genuine greenfield mandate. You won't be stepping into a fully-formed function — you'll be defining what APAC infrastructure looks like at Tilt: designing the environments, setting the standards, and building the foundation the region's businesses depend on. It suits someone who gets energised by ownership, makes decisions independently, and wants to leave an architectural fingerprint on a scaled, regulated fintech.
Define the APAC infrastructure architecture. This isn't a maintenance role. You'll design and own the Azure footprint for our APAC businesses end-to-end — compute, networking, storage, identity, containerisation, and application hosting — and set the patterns the region builds on. New regional environments for our Philippines and India businesses are live work from day one.
Own cross-region connectivity. Take ownership of the network paths connecting our cloud environments to local partners and HQ: site-to-site VPN tunnels, partner IP allow-listing, edge and CDN custom domains, certificate management, and the DNS and TLS hygiene that keeps customer-facing endpoints healthy.
Drive the migration and hardening programs. Lead infrastructure migrations across clouds safely and at scale — including moving sensitive customer data — and own the APAC side of our PCI-DSS hardening program. These are active, in-flight programs, not future roadmap items.
Lead incident response for the region. When something breaks during APAC hours, you run the response — calmly, methodically, and all the way through. That means root cause analysis, blameless post-mortems, and durable fixes. The on-call posture is follow-the-sun: APAC business hours, not 3am pages.
Operate and improve the platform over time. Keep hardening reliability, deploy-pipeline confidence, alert quality, and Azure spend right-sizing. Security and compliance are baked into how we operate — you'll partner with those teams on PCI-DSS scope, vulnerability scanning, least-privilege access, and secret management.
Raise the bar across the team. Through code, runbooks, architecture decisions, and peer collaboration with our US-hours Platform engineers, your work sets the standard for how infrastructure gets done in the region.
Work AI-first. Use AI tooling — coding assistants, observability assistants, IaC helpers — to investigate faster, cut toil, and ship more reliable work. Our Platform team is actively reshaping how engineering and ops are done with AI, and we expect you to bring that same instinct.
5+ years in SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure roles supporting production systems — with genuine ownership of critical infrastructure, not just contributing to it.
Strong infrastructure-as-code depth (Terraform: real modules and environments, not one-off scripts) and production cloud experience. Azure is our primary cloud — if you're coming from AWS or GCP, we expect you to ramp quickly. Transferable depth across networking, identity, compute, storage, and observability matters more than years on Azure specifically.
Hands-on networking: site-to-site VPN, VNet design and peering, DNS, TLS and certificate management, firewall and IP allow-listing.
You make decisions independently and back them. We're looking for someone who identifies what needs doing and moves on it — not someone who defers every judgment call upward. Own your reasoning and defend your tradeoffs.
Incident response leadership — you run incidents calmly, find root causes, and follow through to fixes that don't come back.
Scripting and automation fluency across PowerShell, Bash, Python, and the Azure CLI. Comfortable enough with code to build your own tooling. Familiarity with C# and .NET is a bonus.
Containers and CI/CD: Docker, GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps, and the habit of automating and tidying as you go.
Security and compliance awareness: you've worked in a regulated environment and understand PCI-DSS, least-privilege access, and good secret management. Fintech or financial services backgrounds are a genuine plus here.
You actively use AI tools in your workflow — not just experimented. You can describe how.
Based in APAC or able to reliably work APAC business hours — that's the core reason this role exists.
