Aktos is hiring a Platform Engineer for our team!
As we build the foundation for SRE at Aktos, this person will play a critical role in shaping our infrastructure and operational excellence in addition to being a full backend software engineer. Leveraging battle-tested technologies such as Kubernetes, Postgres, and AWS, they will go beyond managing infrastructure to build tools that enable our engineers to create performant, scalable, and resilient applications. However, since we are a small team, we will expect them to be a fully functioning backend software engineer as well. They will be 70% backend engineer and 30% SRE (they need to be able to do backend feature work and integrations).

Debt Collectors play an overlooked yet integral part of our financial ecosystem. They help Consumers settle their debts and improve their credit scores— granting them clean states to start over. Collectors help critical businesses like doctor's offices and local governments, who deal with high payment default risk, secure their revenue streams and ensure their continued survival.
In truth, Collectors have incredibly interesting, multi-faceted jobs. They are often one part sales person, one part therapist, and one part detective in their mission to recover funds. At Aktos, we are building a modern software platform that caters to Collectors' unique workflows, and make the credit recovery process a more positive experience for all parties.
