About The Position

We’re seeking a Senior Cloud Platform Developer who blends strong software engineering fundamentals with 6+ years of deep hands-on cloud and Kubernetes experience. You’ll architect and deliver Terraform module frameworks, Kubernetes/Helm standards, Python automation services, and reusable cloud blueprints that enable Citi engineering teams to adopt AWS and GCP securely and efficiently at scale. This role is ideal for senior engineers who enjoy automation, infrastructure as code, platform tooling, and internal service integration—not customer-facing feature development or CI/CD pipeline work. Note: We prioritize strong software engineers with AWS/GCP and Kubernetes experience. Terraform is central to the role; senior engineers should already be comfortable authoring modules and will expand into deeper module framework design here.

Requirements

• 6+ years in software engineering or cloud/platform engineering.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Helm, Python, Linux, and experience or interest in authoring Terraform modules.
• Practical experience with AWS or GCP (provisioning via IaC, IAM design, storage patterns, networking fundamentals).
• Solid software engineering fundamentals, including familiarity with object oriented programming and writing maintainable, modular code.
• Deep understanding of microservices concepts and how distributed applications consume platform APIs, cloud storage, IAM, networking, and Kubernetes services.
• Proven ability to lead design discussions, influence architectural decisions, and drive adoption across multiple teams.

Responsibilities

• Architect and build reusable Infrastructure as code frameworks with Terraform for AWS/GCP services (compute, storage, networking, IAM) and set IaC design patterns for the team.
• Define and maintain Kubernetes and Helm standards that simplify secure, cloud-integrated workloads for engineering teams.
• Develop Python automation services, CLIs, validators, and diagnostics that improve developer workflows and platform reliability.
• Create and evolve blueprints, templates, documentation, examples, and reference architectures to improve developer experience and accelerate adoption.
• Define and drive service contracts and integration interfaces used by application and platform teams—focusing on reliable consumption of cloud APIs, storage, IAM, networking, and Kubernetes resources.
• Lead troubleshooting and optimization of platform components; resolve complex issues spanning IaC, cloud services, and Kubernetes.
• Partner across teams (application, security, networking, platform) to align on architecture and deliver integrated solutions.
• Mentor cloud/platform developers on IaC, Kubernetes patterns, Python tooling, cloud design, and platform best practices.

Benefits

• In addition to salary, Citi’s offerings may also include, for eligible employees, discretionary and formulaic incentive and retention awards.
• Citi offers competitive employee benefits, including: medical, dental & vision coverage; 401(k); life, accident, and disability insurance; and wellness programs.
• Citi also offers paid time off packages, including planned time off (vacation), unplanned time off (sick leave), and paid holidays.
