Job Description – AWS Platform Engineer (Financial Systems)

About the Role

We are seeking a Platform Engineer to take full ownership of mission-critical financial systems within an investment banking environment. This role is not a traditional “support” function—it requires a hands-on engineer who can ensure system resilience, reliability, and operational excellence across on-premises and AWS-hosted environments.

The ideal candidate is a hardcore technical engineer who can automate, troubleshoot, and optimize platforms end-to-end while driving operational maturity.

Key Responsibilities

  • System Ownership & Reliability
  • Take complete responsibility for assigned financial systems and ensure high availability.
  • Troubleshoot complex issues across infrastructure, applications, and integrations.
  • Conduct root cause analysis and implement permanent fixes to prevent recurrences.
  • Operational Excellence
  • Design and manage Disaster Recovery (DR) strategies; conduct periodic DR drills.
  • Ensure timely patching, upgrades, and compliance with security standards.
  • Define and manage backup and restore strategies.
  • Build monitoring, logging, and alerting frameworks to proactively detect issues.
  • SRE & Automation
  • Apply Site Reliability Engineering principles to improve system performance and resilience.
  • Automate operational tasks (deployments, failover tests, log analysis, scaling).
  • Develop tooling and scripts (Python, Shell, Ansible) for efficiency and reliability.
  • Implement self-healing mechanisms and runbooks for predictable operations.
  • Cloud & Hybrid Environments
  • Engineer and operate systems deployed on On-Prem and AWS platforms.
  • Leverage key AWS services such as EC2, ECS / Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudWatch, IAM, Lambda, and VPC networking.
  • Work closely with infrastructure teams to optimize scalability and performance.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Technical Skills
  • 5–10 years in platform engineering within financial services or capital markets.
  • Strong SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) experience focused on automation, observability, and resilience.
  • Expertise in Linux / Windows environments.
  • Hands-on with key AWS services (EC2, ECS / Fargate, RDS, S3, IAM, Lambda, VPC).
  • Strong automation and scripting skills (Python, Shell, Ansible, Terraform preferred).
  • Proficiency in monitoring / observability tools (CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, etc.).
  • Operational Expertise
  • Proven experience in patching, DR, backup, monitoring, and system hardening.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills across applications, middleware, and databases.
  • Familiarity with incident, problem, and change management frameworks (ITIL preferred).
  • Preferred
  • Exposure to financial applications (Front Arena, Calypso, Murex, or similar).
  • Strong background in automation-driven operations and performance tuning.

    • Soft Skills

  • Strong sense of ownership and accountability.
  • Calm, decisive, and resilient in high-pressure financial environments.
  • Collaborative, with excellent communication skills across business and technical teams.
  • Passionate about automation and continuous improvement.

    • Why Join Us?

  • This is an opportunity for a technical leader who wants to own platforms end-to-end, applying SRE principles to financials systems that are critical to investment banking operations. You will play a pivotal role in making these systems highly reliable, scalable, and secure.
