Our Mission and Vision

At Solidgate, our mission is clear: to empower outstanding entrepreneurs to build exceptional internet companies. We exist to fuel the builders — the ones shaping the digital economy — with the financial infrastructure they deserve. To achieve that, we’re on a bold path: to become the #1 payments orchestration platform in the world

We believe the future of payments is shaped by people who think big, take ownership, and bring curiosity and drive to everything they do. That’s exactly the kind of teammates we want on board

About the Role

We've proven we can maintain 99.99% uptime in one region. Now we're scaling globally, and we need someone to architect the infrastructure that makes that possible.

This is our first Cloud Architect role — a from-scratch build with one clear goal: design multi-region payment architecture that stays up and stays fast, no matter the scale.

The challenge: When you're processing payments, you can't afford downtime or latency. Every second of downtime means clients lose money. Every 100ms of delay kills conversion.

This isn't about maintaining existing systems or optimizing legacy infrastructure. You'll own the design and implementation of our distributed architecture from the ground up. Your decisions will directly determine whether we can scale to billions in transactions across Europe without dropping a payment or making users wait.

Team Priorities

Do more with less effort — without compromising security or reliability.

We operate under strict regulatory and audit requirements. Every technical decision is strategic, auditable, and business-critical. Infrastructure at Solidgate is not support — it is core to the company’s ability to operate and scale

Tech Stack

Cloud & Infrastructure

• We run a cloud-first infrastructure, almost entirely on AWS

• 100% Infrastructure as Code using Terraform

Compute & Runtime

• Our services run on ECS Fargate, enabling: high availability and fault tolerance, elastic scaling under load, and efficient resource utilisation with minimal operational overhead

Data Layer

• Primary storage is RDS/Aurora PostgreSQL, engineered for high-throughput workloads and horizontal and vertical scalability

Technological Uniqueness of the Role

• Fully automated CI/CD to production, supporting 1,500+ deployments per month without sacrificing stability or control

• Large-scale data footprint: ~100 databases, some exceeding 5+ TB, with tens of billions of transactional and operational records

• Massive observability scale: processing ~1.5 TB of logs per day, enabling deep system visibility and fast incident response

• No Kubernetes by design — keeps focus on real business outcomes, not orchestration overhead

• Deep AWS ecosystem exposure beyond core services (EC2, VPC, RDS), working with specialised and advanced AWS services and modern cloud primitives

• Extensive self-hosted systems

• Security by default: least privilege, zero-trust, and single sign-on enforced wherever technically possible to maximise system security

You’ll Own

• The design, evolution, and reliability of a multi-region payment architecture

• The performance and scalability of RDS/PostgreSQL/Aurora and OpenSearch/Elasticsearch, including sharding, partitioning, and high-load optimisation

• The delivery and adoption of a cell-based architecture

• The end-to-end automation of database upgrades and migrations

• Automated failover strategies, increasing system uptime

• The implementation of SRE practices, including Chaos Engineering, and the integration of Observability with SRE metrics across teams

• The continuous improvement of Incident Management in the company
