## Description

The Business Development/Management Technology team at FIC & Risk Technology is building and operating 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 organisation.

This integration 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#.

The successful candidate will collaborate with global technology and business teams to design cloud-native solutions that support business development and onboarding workflows. They will partner with global stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into secure, scalable AWS architectures and platform capabilities.

Key responsibilities include leading the end-to-end delivery of cloud and platform features, including design, implementation (Python/C#), infrastructure as code, testing, and deployment using DevOps practices.

We are looking for a highly skilled engineer with 6+ years of experience in software or platform engineering, with significant time spent building and operating solutions in cloud environments (AWS preferred).

The ideal candidate will have 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.

They will also have 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).

In addition, the successful candidate will have 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 is also required.

Good understanding of SQL and core database concepts; familiarity with AWS analytics services (e.g., Glue, EMR, Redshift, Athena) is a plus.

Awareness of cloud security best practices, including IAM, network security, data encryption, and secure configuration management is also necessary.

Strong problem-solving and analytical skills; demonstrated ability to take ownership, deliver in a fast-paced environment, and collaborate effectively with global teams is essential.

Excellent communication skills, with ability to work closely with both technical and non-technical stakeholders is also required.

Experience estimating, monitoring, and optimizing AWS infrastructure costs, including use of tools such as AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Budgets, and cost-allocation tagging strategies is desirable.

Experience designing and operating workloads across multiple cloud environments and on-premises, using centralized policies, governance, and controls to support business-aligned teams is also beneficial.

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 is necessary.

Nice to have experience with additional big data tools or platforms (e.g., Kafka, Databricks, Snowflake, Flink).

Familiarity with Capital Markets concepts and operating models is also beneficial.

The estimated base salary range for this position is $175,000 to $250,000, which is specific to New York and may change in the future.

Millennium pays a total compensation package which includes a base salary, discretionary performance bonus, and a comprehensive benefits package.

When finalising an offer, we take into consideration an individual's experience level and the qualifications they bring to the role to formulate a competitive total compensation package.
