DailyPay is headquartered in New York City, with operations throughout the United States as well as in Belfast.

The Role: We are seeking a Senior Engineering Operations Administrator to elevate our Atlassian ecosystem to institutional-grade standards. In this role, you will be the architect of our "System of Record," ensuring our Jira instance meets the rigorous security, audit, and governance requirements expected of a leading financial institution. You will transition our workflows from flexible startup processes to a robust, fully auditable framework, working closely with our security and IAM teams to maintain a hardened environment.

If this opportunity excites you, we encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the qualifications.

• Governance & Control: Design and enforce workflows that satisfy SOX, PCI-DSS, and GDPR requirements. This includes implementing mandatory "separation of duties" and automated approval gates for production changes.
• Audit Documentation: Maintain a pristine, immutable history of configuration changes. You are responsible for ensuring that the "Chain of Custody" for every software release is easily retrievable for internal and external auditors.
• Change Control Process: Implement a formal "Sandbox-to-Production" lifecycle for all Jira configuration updates. Every change to the Jira environment must itself follow a documented approval path.
• Access Collaboration: Work cross-collaboratively to ensure Atlassian Guard, SSO, and MFA configurations align with our "Least Privilege" security posture.
• Executive Visibility: Build advanced dashboards that monitor "Material Risk" and project health, providing the leadership team with real-time data on compliance posture and engineering velocity.

• DevOps Integration: Deep integration with GitHub Enterprise and CI/CD pipelines to automate the linking of Jira tickets to code commits.
• Data Sovereignty: Knowledge of Atlassian Data Residency to ensure compliance with regional financial data storage laws.
• Advanced Scripting: Proficiency in ScriptRunner for complex workflow validations (e.g., ensuring no user can transition a ticket they originally created).

• Experience: 5+ years in Jira Administration, specifically within the Financial Services or Banking sectors.
• Audit Expertise: Proven experience participating in formal regulatory audits or SOC2 Type II examinations.
• The "Zero-Trust" Mindset: You treat Jira configuration with the same rigor as a production banking application, valuing stability and auditability over "quick fixes."
• Bonus Points: Experience with Atlassian Guard (Access) or Identity Management is a plus, though you will be supported by a dedicated IAM Engineer.

• Competitive compensation & Equity ownership
• Private health insurance options
• Generous PTO & 5% Pension contribution
• Growth: Employee Resource Groups and a high-impact role in a regulated FinTech environment.
