How do you want to pay? It’s a question you’ve answered on-screen or in-person thousands of times, but your choices have always been limited. Imagine the flexibility to pay however you want – card, QR code, credit, installments, debit, multiple currencies, reward points, or a combination of any of these - all on the same Account. Sound impossible? Episode Six makes the seemingly impossible happen every day.
We’re a global provider of API-based issuer processing and ledger infrastructure. We’re 100% cloud-native, hyper-configurable, and a “Top 10 Place to Work in Fintech.” And we’re changing how people think about payments.
Today, we’re powering payments for some of the world’s largest banks and numerous innovative fintechs. E6 is headquartered in Austin with offices in Tokyo, Singapore, Brisbane, and London. We provide technology for clients in 24 countries on four continents. Since 2018 when we launched with HSBC, we have grown more than 10x.

We are a growing fintech organization looking to add a Director of Platform Engineering based in Austin, Texas!
Our DevOps organization is split into two teams: Platform Operations, which runs our production environments day to day, and Platform Engineering, which designs, builds and evolves the infrastructure and automation those environments run on. As Director of Platform Engineering, you will lead the Platform Engineering team of DevOps engineers and drive the technical direction of the platform that powers payments for banks and fintechs around the world.
This is a hands-on leadership role. We are looking for someone who takes clear ownership of their area, looks ahead to what the platform will need next rather than waiting to be asked, and is as comfortable leading the investigation of a difficult production issue as they are developing and supporting their team.
