Eliminate toil using intelligent automation and agentic workflows.
Conduct blameless retrospectives and share learnings across the organization.
Integrate DevSecOps, zero‑trust principles, and policy‑as‑code into every pipeline.
Produce and promote Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and Cloud Well‑Architected Frameworks that business units can adopt to improve technology standardization.
Maintain 24x5 active coverage with seamless regional handoffs and weekend escalation protocols.

Minimum bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
Proven expertise in architecting, designing, and operating private cloud environments (e.g., VMware, OpenStack, OpenShift Virtualization) and Kubernetes clusters from a micro to a global scale.
Hands‑on experience with building, deploying, and operating infrastructure as code platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and observability platforms (e.g., Prometheus, Splunk).
Strong understanding of modern systems reliability standards and practices, including establishing KPIs, monitoring and reporting on SLAs and SLOs, and turning noise into actionable insights.
Familiarity with various financial services regulatory frameworks and their impact on infrastructure design and operations.
Experience with financial‑grade network segmentation, micro‑segmentation, and zero‑trust architecture.
Certifications such as TOGAF, AWS Certified Solutions Architect, VMware VCP, or Red Hat Certified Architect are a plus.
