What will you contribute?

As part of Finastra’s AI Center of Excellence (AICoE), you will play a critical role in designing, building, and operating the cloud-native platform that powers our AI and product engineering initiatives.

This role goes beyond traditional DevOps. We are looking for a strong platform engineer with deep architectural understanding, capable of designing scalable, secure, and observable systems across environments. You will work closely with architects, AI engineers, and product teams to enable reliable and efficient delivery of modern applications and agentic AI platforms.

  • Build reusable infrastructure patterns and platform abstractions for engineering teams
• Cloud Networking & Security (Core Expectation)
  • Design and implement load balancing strategies, ingress/egress controls, and traffic routing
  • Architect and manage private connectivity (Private Endpoints, VNet/VPC, Service Endpoints)
  • Implement secure connectivity patterns (VPN, ExpressRoute, hybrid networking)

  • Identify and eliminate DevOps and infrastructure anti-patterns
  • Promote best practices in scalability, reliability, and cost optimization (FinOps)
  • Collaborate with architects on reference architectures and platform standards
