## About the role

We're looking for exceptional talent to help us achieve our mission of making financial advice better, more affordable, and accessible to all. If you're passionate about challenging the status quo and want to do the most important work of your life, we'd love to meet you!

## What they're looking for

- Lead, coach, and grow a team of cloud, DevOps, and database reliability engineers across local and offshore locations — 1:1s, growth paths, performance, and hiring
- Own delivery of the Cloud Engineering roadmap: governed EKS platform in Broker-Dealer and Clearing, pilot-light disaster recovery (RTO ≤ 60 min / RPO ≤ 15 min), Postgres upgrades, and edge gateway consolidation
- Drive software supply chain security and SDLC hygiene — SBOMs, signed provenance, hardened golden images, and policy-as-code admission control — in partnership with Security Engineering
- Own the Cloud on-call rotation and incident response process: SLAs, runbooks, blameless post-mortems, and follow-through on action items
- Improve developer experience through ephemeral environments, faster pipelines, and self-service infrastructure — measured in DORA metrics, not opinions
- Manage cloud and observability spend with a cost-per-service view, making trade-offs explicit to Finance and to engineering leadership
