Senior Cloud Engineer – Global Trading Infrastructure (New York)

A global, technology-driven hedge fund is continuing to build out its in-house infrastructure capability and is seeking a Senior Cloud Engineer to join its Global Infrastructure team based in New York.

This is a cloud-first, but not cloud-only role, offering broad technical ownership across AWS, Azure, and on-prem environments that support systematic trading, research, and corporate systems.

Working closely with infrastructure leadership and engineering teams globally, this role suits a strong infrastructure generalist who enjoys complex problem-solving, end-to-end ownership, and high-impact work rather than ticket-driven support.

What You’ll Do:

Lead cloud and infrastructure initiatives as services are brought fully in-house.
Design, build, and improve AWS and Azure environments for scalability, reliability, and security.
Support and evolve hybrid connectivity between cloud platforms and on-prem/data-center systems.
Act as an escalation point for complex infrastructure issues, owning problems through to resolution.
Modernize operational processes around monitoring, alerting, orchestration, and incident response.
Partner closely with trading, engineering, and global infrastructure teams on shared platform initiatives.

What You Bring:

5–10 years’ experience in cloud &/or infrastructure engineering roles.
Bachelor/Master's degree in Computer Science, Computing, or similar subject(s).
Strong hands-on experience across AWS and/or Azure, plus solid systems knowledge (Linux preferred).
Background in FinTech, trading &/or buy-side environments.
Experience operating hybrid environments spanning cloud and on-prem infrastructure.
A proactive mindset with strong communication skills and comfort owning issues end-to-end.
Ability to work autonomously in a small, high-visibility global team.

Why This Role:

Join a cloud-first hedge fund bringing critical infrastructure fully in-house.
High-impact, technically challenging work - not ticket-driven support.
Broad exposure across AWS, Azure, and on-prem trading systems.
Work closely with senior infrastructure leadership and experienced global engineers.
Small, collaborative team where ownership, engineering quality, and long-term thinking matter.
