Regional credit union modernizing financial services on cloud infrastructure
Members 1st is a Pennsylvania-based credit union operating ~60 branches across 11 counties, now executing a significant cloud migration to Azure while investing heavily in observability and incident response. The tech stack reveals a Microsoft-first architecture (C#, .NET, Azure, Power Platform), with active adoption of infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform, GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines). Current hiring velocity is accelerating across operations and engineering, with a pronounced focus on root-cause analysis and production-incident remediation — suggesting legacy systems are still generating stability challenges.
