About Orion Digital

Orion Digital Corp (NASDAQ/TSX: ORIO) is a publicly listed Canadian fintech operating a multi-engine financial platform spanning lending (Mogo), payments (Carta), and wealth (Intelligent Investing). We have moved past the traditional fintech model. Capital allocation, decisioning, and risk management sit at the core of how the business creates value, and AI runs as an enabling layer across the platform rather than as a standalone product narrative.

Why this role exists

This role builds that layer. Platform engineering here is not a support function. Multiple business lines, regulated entities, and a public company's reporting obligations all run on infrastructure this team owns. Every deployment path, permission boundary, and audit trail either makes faster decisioning possible or quietly caps how fast the business can move.

We are hiring a Staff Platform Engineer to build it properly. The shift we are hiring for most platform teams build for human developers. Ours builds for humans and agents, across multiple business lines and regulated entities.

What you will do:

• Build the substrate for agentic engineering.
• Design and run the execution environments agents work in: sandboxed, reproducible, permissioned, disposable.
• Stand up and own our MCP and tool-gateway layer so agents reach infrastructure through governed interfaces instead of ad hoc credentials.
• Turn CI/CD into a validation loop: fast deterministic gates an agent can retry against until it passes, with humans on the loop rather than in it.
• Own the platform Multi-cloud Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, and GitOps (ArgoCD) delivery.
• Drive infrastructure modernization across our cloud environments, including dependency mapping and documentation.
• Serve every product line without building a separate platform for each one.
• Treat security and compliance as design constraints from the first commit rather than a review at the end.
• Push autonomous remediation into the paths that page people today.
• Own the numbers: deploy frequency, lead time, change failure rate, MTTR, and the share of operational work running without a human in the middle.
• Work outside engineering too. Operations, compliance, and support are full of repetitive work a well-built platform can absorb.

What you need:

• Deep, current production experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, and a modern GitOps deployment stack.
• Real cloud depth across AWS and OCI.
• Strong opinions about where autonomy belongs and where it does not.
• Writing clear enough to be read by a junior engineer and a model.

Advantage:

• You have built internal developer platforms, MCP servers, or agent tooling that other engineers actually adopted.
• Non-human identity, secrets architecture, or policy-as-code in a regulated environment.
• Re-platforming at scale.

How we work:

Small teams, high ownership, short distance between decision and deployment. We would rather collaborate than dictate, and we know when to do it well versus when to do it quickly. Output is the measure.

• Fully Remote Work
• Comprehensive Health Benefits
• Stock Options
• Flex Vacation
