Platform engineers, for fintech.

Fintech runs on cloud that has to be both bulletproof and auditable. Re:Sourced recruits the platform, SRE and DevOps engineers who run regulated financial infrastructure where uptime, security and compliance are the baseline, not a project.

The profile

What fintech platform engineers actually do.

The work is high-stakes infrastructure: highly available payment and transaction systems, security and compliance against PCI-DSS and APRA CPS 234, zero-downtime deployment, observability tuned for money movement, and the disaster-recovery posture a financial business is audited on.

The differentiator is running cloud under financial-regulatory constraints, data residency, change control, auditability, where general platform engineers usually have freedoms these engineers do not. Typical stack: AWS or GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, and compliance-as-code.
