## About the Role

* Migration experience: a track record of moving on-premises environments, including legacy applications, to AWS. You can clearly explain the challenges you faced, the alternatives you weighed and why you chose the path you did.

 * Modernization mindset: you have re-platformed, upgraded operating systems in the cloud, or re-architected workloads, because moving outdated environments as they add little value.

 * AWS architecture and services: strong command of core AWS services, and a solid understanding of VPC structure, subnet layout and how AWS networking fits together. You do not need to be a network specialist.

 * Security first: security is second nature in your designs and recommendations, ideally in a regulated industry.

 * DevOps and SRE: working knowledge of DevOps practices and Site Reliability Engineering, including monitoring and observability.

 * Containerization: Docker, Kubernetes and Amazon ECS.

 * CI/CD: pipeline management, with Jenkins experience.

 * Infrastructure as code and scripting: Terraform and AWS CloudFormation; Python, Bash and PowerShell.

 * Cloud security: practical experience applying security controls in AWS.

 * Certification: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate at a minimum. Professional level is preferred.

What Will Make You Stand Out

 * AWS and Microsoft certifications.

 * Experience leading enterprise cloud migrations.

 * Experience automating large-scale enterprise application deployments in the cloud.

 * Serverless architecture experience.

## Description

You will be a key member of our Cloud Center of Excellence and a trusted partner to our SRE and DevOps teams, helping us build and automate an enterprise-class cloud environment while holding a high engineering bar. Because we operate in a heavily regulated financial services setting, security is part of every decision you make and every solution you recommend.

What You Will Do

 * Build and automate an enterprise-class cloud environment on AWS.

 * Apply deep technical knowledge to lead, develop and automate our cloud services.

 * Architect and optimize cloud workloads for resilience, security, performance and cost.

 * Plan and guide the migration of on-premises workloads to AWS, selecting the right approach for each one rather than defaulting to lift-and-shift.

 * Re-platform and modernize as part of migration, including upgrading operating systems and, where it makes sense, re-architecting applications for the cloud.

 * Serve as a key resource for the Cloud Center of Excellence, consistently challenging and raising our engineering excellence bar.

 * Support our SRE and DevOps teams with architecture guidance, CI/CD, monitoring and observability.
