As a profitable, well-capitalized Texas state-chartered bank and FDIC-Insured - backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government - Monet combines the strength and stability of traditional banking with forward-thinking financial technology innovation.\nIf you are motivated by building secure, intentional, and future-ready banking infrastructure, we invite you to explore opportunities with Monet Bank.\nAbout the Role\nWe're a small, fast-moving bank, and our cloud environment is core to everything we build. As a Senior Cloud Architect, you'll own our AWS environment end to end - designing it, running it, securing it, and setting the standards we grow into. This is a hands-on role with real autonomy and unusually direct impact: you won't be one architect among many, you'll be our cloud function. If you like the pace of a startup but want the substance of building resilient, compliant infrastructure for a regulated bank, this is that role.\n\nWhat You'll Own\nThe design, operation, and security of Monet's entire AWS environment.\nThe migration and modernization path for key workloads to the cloud.\nThe automation, resilience, and cost standards the rest of the team builds against.\n\nCore Responsibilities(Essential duties include, but are not limited to):\nArchitecture & delivery\nDesign and operate scalable, secure, cost-effective AWS architectures across compute, storage, data, and networking.\nLead cloud migration and modernization with minimal disruption to the business.\nAutomation & operations\nDrive Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD so provisioning is consistent, repeatable, and auditable.\nOwn monitoring, capacity planning, disaster recovery, and cost optimization; design backup and multi-region failover strategies.\nMaintain clear architecture documentation and data-flow diagrams for operations and audit.\nSecurity & compliance\nDefine and enforce cloud security standards (network design, encryption, and identity & access management) aligned to banking regulations.\nPartner with Security and Risk to keep the architecture compliant by design.\nCollaboration\nWork directly across a small, cross-functional team, and help establish engineering standards as the team grows.\nEvaluate emerging technologies and manage key cloud vendor relationships.\n\nAI Platform Administration\nAs a secondary responsibility, administer Monet's AI platforms (Claude / ChatGPT): user provisioning and access controls, SSO/identity integration, and usage guidelines and security guardrails for responsible, compliant AI use in a regulated environment. This is a smaller, well-scoped part of the role alongside your core cloud work.\n\nRequired Qualifications:\n8-10 years in IT (at least 5 years in cloud architecture or infrastructure roles) with strong, hands-on cloud experience, including demonstrated AWS delivery.\nDeep AWS expertise across compute, storage, networking, and databases.\nHands-on with Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD.\nStrong cloud network and security design: VPC, encryption, and identity and access management.\nComfortable operating with autonomy in a small, fast-paced environment and wearing multiple hats.\nBachelor's degree in a related field is required.\n\nPreferred Qualifications:\nAWS certification (Solutions Architect - Professional).\nEdge security/CDN and observability tooling.\nExperience administering or governing enterprise AI platforms (e.g., OpenAI/ChatGPT).\nFinancial services or other regulated-industry experience.\n\nBenefits options include:\nMedical, dental and vision coverage\n401K with company match\n10 paid holidays \nAccrue up to 17 vacation/sick days per year in your first year on a pro rata basis\nApplicant may be eligible for annual discretionary bonus\n No relocation assistance provided.\n If you are looking to be a part of a winning team and meet the above requirements, we look forward to hearing from you.\nMonet Bank and their affiliates are Equal Opportunity Employers.
