Community-focused bank modernizing core systems and automating operations
Sunrise Banks operates a traditional banking stack (SQL Server, .NET, Salesforce, Fiserv) while actively tackling modernization bottlenecks: pipeline development for hybrid databases, event-driven orchestration, and file automation signal an infrastructure team moving away from manual, error-prone workflows toward automated, event-driven systems. The hiring mix—weighted toward ops and finance roles over engineering—reflects a bank in the middle of digital transformation: managing legacy system stability while building automation tooling to reduce incident volume and data discrepancies.

With 201–500 employees, Sunrise Banks is actively modernizing its technology infrastructure through system upgrades, disaster recovery implementation, and digital transformation initiatives while maintaining operational stability across its traditional banking platform.
