Job Description – AWS Platform Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a AWS Platform Engineer to take full ownership of mission-critical financial systems within an investment banking environment.

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

  • Troubleshoot complex issues across infrastructure, applications, and integrations.
  • Conduct root cause analysis and implement permanent fixes to prevent recurrences.

Operational Excellence

  • 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, and 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 tech champ who wants to own platforms end-to-end , applying SRE principles to financial systems that are critical to investment banking operations. You will play a pivotal role in making these systems highly reliable, scalable, and secure.
