We are an industry-leading provider of wealth management technology and services for financial institutions around the world, including private banks and wealth managers, investment managers, as well as retail and neo banks. Our research led approach and continual innovation is powered by the passion and creativity of our colleagues.\nWe are always looking for talented people to join us on our mission to orchestrate the financial ecosystem and democratize access to wealth management. Avaloq offers the opportunity to work closely with some of the world’s leading financial institutions as we jointly develop and shape careers. Championing a collaborative, supportive and flexible work environment empowers our colleagues to reach their full potential.\n Avaloq's R&D Lab is building a SaaS, API-first, composable banking platform. As a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer, you will help design and operate the AWS foundation and the developer experience this platform runs on, so that product teams can ship quickly and safely, and our clients can run their data in a secure, performant, and stable environment.\nThis is amongst the first technical roles we are hiring for our Fort Lauderdale site. You will work closely with our team in Zurich.\nThe first 3-6 months:\nSome of what you can expect early on:\nLearning our AWS environment and serverless platform setup in depth \nWorking through open items from our Well-Architected Framework Review \nContributing to the direction on observability tooling, together with the other Senior Platform Engineer, the SRE team, and our developers \nTaking on increasing responsibility as you build context, always in alignment with the Zurich team \nWhat you will do:\nContribute to the design and operation of our multi-tenant AWS environment, including account structure, guardrails, and network and security baselines \nBuild and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code modules and landing zones using Terraform or OpenTofu \nCollaborate on the design of our observability approach for a distributed serverless system \nWork with the team on FinOps practice: cost visibility, per-tenant attribution, and tuning of concurrency, memory, and cost per invocation \nHelp build the guardrails, access patterns, and cost controls for product teams consuming Amazon Bedrock \nSupport platform identity across Amazon Cognito and federation into client-managed identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID for production workloads \nShare an on-call rotation with the other platform engineers, and help shape a coverage model that works across time zones \nMentor colleagues and support a platform-as-a-product culture that gives teams autonomy without losing governance \nOur stack:\nServerless-first on AWS: Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, S3, and Bedrock. Terraform and OpenTofu for infrastructure, GitHub Actions for CI/CD. Product teams work in Rust, TypeScript, Python, Vue, and Angular. We do not run containers\n 5+ years in platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, or DevOps, with substantial hands-on AWS experience \nHands-on Infrastructure-as-Code experience with Terraform or OpenTofu, including multi-account and landing zone design \nA clear point of view on observability for distributed systems, and the reasoning behind it \nSolid automation and scripting ability. We are language-agnostic; Rust, TypeScript, or Python all work here \nExcellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to influence and enable product teams \nIt would be a real bonus if you have:\nExperience with AWS serverless and event-driven architecture, including idempotency, retries, dead-letter queues, and failure handling. Strong AWS generalists who want to go deep here are welcome \nExperience building AI agents to monitor platform health \nFinOps or cloud cost optimization experience \nExperience with identity federation into client-managed identity providers such as Entra ID, and with multi-tenant identity models \nExperience building or scaling a B2B SaaS platform \nFamiliarity with financial services requirements around security, compliance, and auditability \nStrong CI/CD and automation background, ideally with GitHub Actions \nExperience with Amazon Bedrock or comparable managed AI services \nAWS certification, particularly DevOps Engineer -
