About The Position
The Business Development/Management Technology team builds and operates the platforms that support recruiting, hiring, and onboarding of investment professionals. We are currently integrating multiple legacy and new systems into a unified, cloud-native platform to standardize processes, workflows, and data models across the organization. These integrations will enable seamless collaboration between teams and provide reliable, scalable data for analytics and reporting. We are looking for a Cloud Platform Engineer to design, build, and operate our AWS-based infrastructure and data platforms, using modern DevOps practices, infrastructure as code, and secure, well-engineered services in Python and C#. This role will also help support and evolve our data science ecosystem, including Airflow, Spark, and scalable data pipelines.

- 6+ years of experience in software or platform engineering, with significant time spent building and operating solutions in cloud environments (AWS preferred).
- Strong hands-on programming experience in Python and C#, with solid understanding of object-oriented design, design patterns, service-oriented / microservices architectures, concurrency, and SOLID principles.
- Proven experience designing and operating AWS-based platforms (e.g., EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, RDS, IAM) using infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK).
- Practical experience implementing DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps), including automated testing, security scanning, and deployment.
- Experience supporting data science and analytics platforms, including orchestration tools such as Airflow, distributed processing engines such as Spark, and cloud-native data pipelines.

- Experience estimating, monitoring, and optimizing AWS infrastructure costs, including use of tools such as AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Budgets, and cost-allocation tagging strategies.
- Experience designing and operating workloads across multiple cloud environments and on‑premises, using centralized policies, governance, and controls to support business‑aligned teams.
- Working knowledge of networking across on‑premises and cloud environments, including VPC design, subnets, routing, VPNs/Direct Connect, load balancing, DNS, and network security controls.
