  • Strong understanding of the system development and infrastructure lifecycle and architecture, vendor best practices, IT Service Management, and systems design is required.
  • Demonstrated proficiency administering and supporting production OpenShift or Kubernetes environments is required.
  • Strong troubleshooting experience across Linux, containers, networking, storage, compute, identity, and distributed application platforms is required.
  • Hands-on experience automating infrastructure or platform operations using scripting, configuration management, infrastructure as code, GitOps, or CI/CD practices is required.
  • Working knowledge of Git-based development, peer review, testing, and controlled change-management practices is required.
  • A proven record of independently leading complex technical work, evaluating constraints and risks, and delivering high-quality production implementations with limited supervision is required.

Responsibilities

  • Coordinate incident response and root-cause analysis, then implement and validate corrective and preventive actions.
  • Strengthen platform resiliency through tested backup, recovery, and disaster-recovery capabilities.
  • Enforce least-privilege access, OpenShift and Kubernetes role-based access control, workload security controls, secrets and certificate practices, and platform policies; create audit-ready documentation.
  • Collaborate with cybersecurity, risk, and control teams to assess platform changes, remediate vulnerabilities and configuration findings, and satisfy applicable control requirements.
  • Assess emerging technologies and recommend adoption based on security, resilience, supportability, operational complexity, cost, and business value.
  • Deliver secure self-service capabilities, reference configurations, and reusable patterns that streamline application onboarding and improve the developer experience.
  • Engage application, cloud, network, storage, security, support, and vendor teams to deliver platform capabilities and resolve cross-domain issues.
  • Define platform standards, reference architectures, operational procedures, technical designs, and support documentation.
  • Mentor engineers and review peer-created technical designs, automation, documentation, and production changes.
  • Present technical options, tradeoffs, risks, and recommendations clearly to stakeholders across technical and management levels.
  • Champion engineering, change-management, IT service-management, security, risk, and regulatory practices applicable to the Bank.
  • Contribute to an on-call support rotation.
