Senior DevOps Engineer

As a Senior DevOps Engineer reporting to Senior Director of Software Engineering, you'll play a critical role in shaping and owning the AWS and Kubernetes platform foundation that underpins a new R&D team focused on responsible AI for global financial markets.

You'll thrive in this position if you're a technically rigorous, ownership-driven engineer who sets direction with confidence, mentors others generously, and brings curiosity and pragmatism to problems that don't always have a known answer upfront.

• Design, build, and automate AWS infrastructure using Terraform and GitLab CI/CD pipelines, establishing infrastructure-as-code as the standard across the team.
• Own Kubernetes clusters end-to-end — including Helm charts, networking, RBAC, ingress, security, and upgrades — ensuring reliability and scalability of containerized services.
• Establish and evolve observability, secrets management, high availability, and reliability practices across all environments.
• Mentor DevOps and software engineers, contribute to solution design and requirements analysis, and champion AI-assisted workflows throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Drive the adoption of AI-based tooling across products, services, and CI/CD pipelines, and take on Agile process roles (e.g., Scrum Master or Product Owner) as needed to support team delivery.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Several years of experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or a related discipline, with production-level ownership on AWS or a comparable cloud platform.
• Deep hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tooling such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or OpenTofu.
• Proven Kubernetes ownership including Helm charts, networking, ingress, RBAC, upgrades, and security hardening.
• Strong experience designing and optimizing CI/CD pipelines (preferably GitLab) and applying Git as the single source of truth across the team.
• Demonstrated experience setting technical direction, mentoring engineers, and introducing AI-assisted workflows into the software development lifecycle.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with GitOps tooling such as FluxCD or Argo CD, and multi-cloud exposure (Azure or GCP alongside AWS).
• Experience with Ansible or comparable configuration management tooling, and SQL/database troubleshooting skills.
• Background in fintech, capital markets, or a regulated industry environment.

• We offer a competitive, well-rounded rewards package designed to support the financial, physical, and emotional well-being of our employees and their families (where applicable).
• We utilize a structured job architecture and career framework to ensure growth opportunities are transparent, fair, and accessible to all employees.
