Regional credit union modernizing core banking infrastructure across AWS and Azure
Orion Financial operates a multi-cloud foundation (AWS + Azure) with infrastructure-as-code tooling (CloudFormation, Terraform, Pulumi) and a polyglot application stack (React, Angular, Java, C#, Python). Active projects span cloud integration, network hardening (Cisco Meraki), and SOC 2 compliance—reflecting an organization in active infrastructure modernization while managing the compliance surface area of a regulated financial institution. Hiring shows engineering-led priorities with decelerating velocity, suggesting a focus on consolidation rather than expansion.
