What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Cloud Engineer position at Glocomms?
One of the largest and most respected private investment firms are on a search for a Senior Cloud & DevOps Engineer. This is a unique opportunity to join a company that's built around long-term thinking, low-cost investing, and a deep commitment to its clients.
Unlike most firms, this organization isn't driven by shareholders. That means their technology teams are empowered to focus on building resilient, scalable systems that serve real people-not quarterly earnings reports. The work you do here will directly support millions of investors and their financial futures.
This role sits within a growing platform engineering team that's central to a multi-year cloud transformation. The team is focused on modernizing infrastructure, improving developer experience, and enabling faster, safer delivery of services across the business.
They're looking for someone who can:
- Lead modernization efforts across AWS EKS and Azure AKS, optimizing cloud-native workloads for performance and reliability.
- Integrate Istio into CI/CD pipelines to streamline microservices deployment and traffic management.
- Build and maintain observability dashboards using Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, and Azure Monitor.
- Use Terraform and Helm Charts to manage infrastructure and application deployments in a modular, reusable, and secure way.
- Drive FinOps practices to ensure cloud spend is optimized and aligned with the company's mission of keeping investing affordable.
- Collaborate with data engineering teams using AWS Glue, Athena, Redshift, and serverless tools like Lambda and Step Functions.
- Automate infrastructure and operational tasks using Ansible, Bash, and PowerShell.
- Strengthen cloud security posture through IAM policies, SCPs, Config Rules, and other governance tools.
- Contribute to a culture of documentation, mentorship, and continuous improvement.
- Proven experience in cloud engineering and DevOps in large-scale, production-grade environments.
- Strong knowledge of Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, and modern DevOps tooling.
- Solid understanding of infrastructure as code, automation, and cloud security best practices.
- Familiarity with observability tools and performance monitoring at scale.
- Bonus if you've worked in financial services or other highly regulated environments.
- Must be based on the East Coast of the U.S. to support team collaboration and time zone alignment.
