- You will design and develop internal SRE platforms, automate complex workflows, and ensure our Kubernetes-based ecosystem can handle the demands of global financial markets.

- Platform Governance: Review software architecture and Kubernetes metrics to ensure high availability, capacity planning, and cost-optimization across AWS regions
- Incident Engineering: Lead incident response, perform complex root-cause analysis (RCA), and champion a blameless post-mortem culture
- Collaboration: Partner with engineering teams to foster the adoption of new tools, security standards, and reliability best practices
