Infrastructure Engineer

About the role

About Us:

Forage’s mission is to expand financial access for low-income families.

According to recent studies, the cost of groceries is the number-one financial stressor in America—even more stressful than housing, healthcare, and childcare. At Forage, we believe that it doesn’t have to be that way, and our mission is to help people put food on the table.

Our technology makes it easy for retailers like Albertsons and Dollar General to accept benefits like SNAP and WIC. Our free consumer app helps cost-conscious shoppers check their EBT balances, find savings, and earn rewards on everyday purchases. And we’re just getting started: we’re building new products every day that will help low-income families save on groceries and improve their financial health.

Our impact so far:

- Forage’s payments technology is used at over 100,000+ stores in all 50 states

- We’ve helped deliver tens of millions of grocery orders to low-income families

- Over the last year, we’ve grown payments volume by more than 13x

- Since its launch in 2025, the Forage App has been downloaded over 300,000 times

- We recently raised our $40M Series B, bringing our total funding to over $75M

What we are looking for:

As an Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll own the key services and processes that Forage is built on, and will help set the direction for future growth and investments. Beyond cloud services and CI/CD, you’ll contribute to developer experience, our incident response processes, load testing, and other critical functions. Day to day, you’ll spot weak points before they turn into outages, fine-tune databases to keep them fast under load, and put guardrails in place so product engineers can ship quickly.

Qualifications:

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.

- 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 2+ years focused on infrastructure/DevOps/SRE work.

- Experience with AWS (or another major cloud provider) and infrastructure-as-code tooling (e.g. Terraform, CDK, Pulumi, CloudFormation).

- Practice preparing systems for production use — come with experience implementing monitoring, autoscaling, and security concerns in live services.

- Proven track record of owning complex systems — e.g. containerized deployments using cloud databases.

- Strong, remote-first, communication skills; able to collaborate across engineering and non-engineering stakeholders.

- Nice to have: prior experience in fintech, payments, or other highly regulated environments.

Key Responsibilities:

- Own Critical Services: Be responsible for critical services that power our applications, such as the compute and data storage layers powering Forage's payments processing and consumer app API systems.
