This role focuses on designing and operating reliable services through automation, infrastructure-as-code, and continuous delivery practices while developing AI-assisted capabilities like retrieval-augmented knowledge solutions and operational diagnostics. The engineer will manage secrets-management lifecycles, monitor system health using observability tools, perform root-cause analysis, and participate in on-call rotations to reduce operational toil. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Python for workflow automation, experience with AWS and Azure cloud platforms, and familiarity with Linux-based environments and container orchestration. The role addresses the challenge of managing complex systems by integrating artificial intelligence into platform operations to improve reliability and developer productivity within a highly regulated environment involving secure configuration capabilities and high-availability architectures.

What you'll do

  • Design and operate reliable platform services using infrastructure-as-code, Python automation, and secure secrets management.
  • Develop AI-assisted capabilities including retrieval-augmented knowledge solutions and automated operational diagnostics.
  • Build data ingestion and retrieval pipelines to support engineer self-service experiences.
  • Monitor system health and performance while performing root-cause analysis for platform incidents.
  • Participate in on-call rotations to resolve production issues and reduce operational toil through automation.
  • Manage disaster recovery planning, application onboarding, and platform upgrades for secure configurations.
  • Ensure all AI and automated solutions are secure, explainable, and compliant with regulated environment requirements.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
  • Strong Python development experience for automation, systems analysis, and integration with AI tooling.
  • Experience with cloud platforms, specifically Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.
  • 4+ years of hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code and configuration-as-code practices.
  • Experience using monitoring, observability, and operational analytics tools.
  • Foundational understanding of AI and machine learning concepts within automation or developer productivity domains.
  • Experience with Linux environments, container orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation, vector databases, and high-availability architectures.
  • Experience in financial services, building AI-enabled internal platforms, or holding relevant cloud certifications (preferred).
