We are committed to fostering an environment of inclusion that promotes mutual respect among all employees. Understanding and valuing these differences optimizes the potential of both the individual and the firm.

This position will be a hybrid work arrangement. You will receive 18 remote workdays per quarter to use at your discretion, subject to manager approval. For example, you may choose to work in the office 4 days per week and take one remote day weekly (typically 13 weeks per quarter), leaving 5 additional remote days to be used as needed.

The Cloud Engineer is an IT specialist who constructs and maintains cloud infrastructure and solutions. Their duties include cloud devops, implementation and administration; as well as working on traditional IT infrastructure as we migrate on-premises IT resources to the cloud over the next several years. This person is responsible, as part of a team, for the automation and administration of Infrastructure and Platform Services in multiple regions of Microsoft’s cloud service, Azure. Ideally, they will have experience working in a cloud environment as part of a global financial services company.

In a multi-region support model, the Cloud Engineer will assist in application development and data project teams in resolving urgent and complicated technical issues by combining their automation skills, in-depth product and technical knowledge with their understanding of the needs of our clients and end-users. They accomplish this by working on active cases, automating repetitive tasks and encouraging timely resolution of urgent problems while adhering to strict security and regulatory guidelines.

This role would be ideal for a person from a traditional IT infrastructure who wishes to transition to a fast-growing Hybrid-Cloud environment; as well as a person from an Azure/AWS environment looking for a company with a long record of stability, excellent benefits and rapid growth. In either case, this person is a critical component of a small team that will make a big impact on the company’s future success.
