Role Overview: We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to design, engineer, and evolution of AWS cloud and hybrid-cloud ecosystems as a reusable enterprise portfolio of product. The role creates secure, cloud-native capabilities that allow AI teams to build, evaluate and operate applications and agents on AWS without recreating infrastructure, integration or operational controls  for a large FinTech Enterprise. You will be responsible for creating a robust foundation for our application teams, with a specific focus on operationalizing AI services, maintaining rigorous security standards, and optimizing cloud spend through FinOps best practices.
Key Responsibilities:

• Platform Infrastructure: Design reusable AWS AI platform services as products, contracts and tenancy patterns for multiple AI products. Architect and deploy production-ready AWS environments from scratch using a landing zone approach.


• AI Orchestration: Deploy, scale, and manage AWS AI/ML services (Bedrock, SageMaker, Rekognition, Textract, Lookout) to support AI-driven application development.


• Infrastructure as Code: Standardize all deployments using Terraform to ensure consistency and modularity. Build versioned Terraform modules, platform APIs and SDKs with automated validation and release management. 


• Runtime: Engineer runtime patterns using EKS, Lambda, containers and asynchronous event processing. Use EventBridge, queues, streams and workflow services to support resilient agent and AI workloads. Experience with Kubernetes, containers, event-driven architecture, platform APIs and SDKs. 


• Security: Implement least-privilege IAM, workload identity, secrets management, encryption and private VPC connectivity. Automate security controls, evidence and policy enforcement within delivery pipelines. Design safe service-to-service and cross-account access patterns. 


• API & Connectivity: Manage API lifecycles using AWS API Gateway and Kong, ensuring secure and performant communication between services.


• FinOps & Monitoring: Proactively manage cloud costs by analyzing SKUs and implementing advanced monitoring/alerting to prevent budget overruns.


• Deployment Automation: Design automated GitHub Workflows to enable seamless CI/CD for both infrastructure and application code. Provide self-service onboarding, templates, documentation, reference services and supportable paved roads. 

Technical Requirements:

• Cloud: 5+ years experience in the AWS ecosystem.


• IaC: Expert-level Terraform skills.


• Run time: Deep expertise with Bedrock, EKS, Lambda, EventBridge, API Gateway, IAM, VPC and CloudWatch. 


• AI Stack: Direct experience with AWS Bedrock and SageMaker.


• Networking: Expert knowledge of VPC design, Subnetting, Route 53, and Direct Connect.


• APIs: Hands-on experience with AWS API Gateway or Kong.


• Deployment Architecture: Proven ability to create professional Cloud Architecture Diagrams and provide Solutions Architecture guidance.
