This range acknowledges the extensive expertise, leadership capabilities, and significant contributions expected at this level, offering a competitive salary to reflect the value of advanced skills and experience About the Role: We are seeking an exceptional Principal Infrastructure Engineer to design, build, operate, and scale the platform that powers Sezzle. Your focus will be the hardest infrastructure problems: increasing throughput, reducing latency, removing capacity bottlenecks, strengthening resilience, and making production operations more automated and predictable as the business grows. You will own complex technical initiatives from architecture and prototyping through implementation, production rollout, and ongoing operation. Your impact will come from the systems you build, the problems you solve, and measurable improvements in reliability, performance, and cost efficiency. Our stack runs on AWS , with workloads orchestrated on Kubernetes and data anchored in Aurora RDS (MySQL and Postgres) . You should know these technologies deeply and be comfortable moving between cloud architecture, networking, cluster internals, database performance, and application behavior to understand how the entire system scales. You will write code and infrastructure-as-code, debug production systems, and deliver changes that hold up under real traffic and failure conditions. Operational ownership is part of the job. You will participate in the on-call rotation and take a hands-on role in recovering from major incidents, including full outages. We need someone who can form and test hypotheses using logs, metrics, and traces, make sound mitigation decisions with incomplete information, and turn incident findings into lasting engineering fixes. You will also build and apply AI-assisted infrastructure and SRE tooling for incident investigation, capacity analysis, runbook automation, and toil reduction. You will evaluate these tools through practical results and apply appropriate access controls, validation, and auditability to their use in production. This role reports to engineering leadership and works closely with application engineers, Security, and Compliance. You will develop a deep understanding of how Sezzle's business operates and how customer journeys, transaction patterns, and product decisions shape infrastructure demand and behavior. You will use that understanding to identify and deliver improvements across teams and technical domains, connecting infrastructure decisions to better customer outcomes and business performance.
