About Vinyl Equity

We’re building the next generation of capital-markets infrastructure, starting with a modern, digital-native transfer agent designed for today’s public companies.

Vinyl Equity is transforming one of the most legacy-heavy and operationally critical parts of the capital markets by delivering the first API-driven, real-time infrastructure for public companies. Our platform replaces slow, manual processes with secure, automated workflows that help issuers operate faster, more efficiently, and with greater confidence.

We’re backed by leading investors including Jump Capital, Index Ventures, Spark Capital, Infinity Ventures, and others who have funded many of the world’s most impactful financial-technology companies. Our team draws from deep experience at NYSE, Equiniti, Computershare, and AngelList, giving us a unique understanding of the industry’s pain points and how to solve them.

We have a massive market, a well-defined customer, and strong momentum. With demand accelerating and new product lines on the horizon, there’s never been a better time to join.

We move fast, and our infrastructure must move faster. As a DevOps Engineer with 8+ years of experience, you won’t just maintain pipelines or manage servers you will design, automate, and scale the backbone of our production systems. You’ll play a critical role in enabling engineering teams to ship reliably, securely, and frequently in a highly regulated domain. We’re looking for a hands-on, systems-thinking engineer who treats infrastructure as code, automation as a first-class citizen, and reliability as a product feature, not an afterthought.

  • Stock options
  • Flexible hours.
  • Unlimited PTO.

What You’ll Do:

  • Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for fast, safe, and repeatable deployments.

  • Deep understanding of Linux, networking, and cloud security fundamentals.
  • Experience supporting production-grade, high-availability systems.
  • A mindset that values ownership, reliability, and continuous improvement.

What Makes You a Great Fit?

  • You take ownership of systems end-to-end, proactively identifying reliability,scalability, and security gaps without waiting for runbooks.
  • You’re comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-evolving environments,adapting infrastructure and deployment strategies as product and business needs change.
  • You treat infrastructure and automation as production-grade code, writing clean, maintainable, and well-documented IaC, pipeline definitions, and scripts.
  • You think in terms of resilience and failure modes, designing systems that are observable, self-healing, and safe to change.
  • You continuously look for ways to eliminate manual work through automation and improve developer velocity without compromising stability or compliance.
