About Column
For companies building financial technology and transforming the financial services space, the biggest bottleneck to their growth and innovation is often the underlying banks and infrastructure stack they rely on. We have spent our careers founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, SoFi, Blend, and Affirm, and have seen this problem firsthand — builders and developers needing to partner with traditional banks, and creating API and abstraction layers over the patchwork that is the bank, its core, and many other vendors. All of this results in a complex (and often expensive) banking supply chain involving a user, fintech, BaaS middleware provider, bank, core and the Federal Reserve.
About Column
For companies building financial technology and transforming the financial services space, the biggest bottleneck to their growth and innovation is often the underlying banks and infrastructure stack they rely on. We have spent our careers founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, SoFi, Blend, and Affirm, and have seen this problem firsthand — builders and developers needing to partner with traditional banks, and creating API and abstraction layers over the patchwork that is the bank, its core, and many other vendors. All of this results in a complex (and often expensive) banking supply chain involving a user, fintech, BaaS middleware provider, bank, core and the Federal Reserve.
At Column, we set out to simplify and fix this. We are a bank and a software company built from the ground up, offering builders and developers technology-forward banking solutions that cut out the hundreds of vendors, middleware providers, and abstraction layers. This means a safer, more transparent, and less costly banking supply chain. Come build with us!
The Opportunity
Column is looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to help build the backbone of modern banking infrastructure. In this role, you’ll be responsible for provisioning secure, scalable systems; refining CI/CD pipelines for seamless deployment of critical financial services; and leading release engineering to support a fast-moving, high-stakes environment. You’ll implement sophisticated monitoring to ensure uptime, performance, and regulatory resilience. This is a foundational role for someone excited to shape the infrastructure powering the future of fintech.
We’re a lean and experienced team. We like our current size of 10 engineers. For an excellent candidate we’re open to hiring one or two more. We write mostly Go, but experience there isn’t that important....it’s a pretty easy language to learn. We generally prefer candidates with at least three years of production coding experience at a high caliber and high velocity team. We’ll require a take-home that does take time, so if that’s a non-starter for you we’re sorry. We find it the best way for you to show your skills, without being overly burdensome on the team!
