Script Parameterization:

• Refactor runtime scripts so they are parameterized, reusable, and environment-agnostic, eliminating hardcoded per-client and per-environment values and the manual edits that come with them.

Deployment Management:

• Build and maintain tooling that tracks build versions across environments (development, QA, UAT, production) and automates deployment and promotion between them.

Client Implementations:

• Support new client onboarding by developing and adapting custom scripts, configuration, and automation on the application side.

Run-Day Operations:

• Manage processing pipelines and run-day operations. Troubleshoot batch failures, identify root cause, and replace repeat manual intervention with durable automated fixes.

Cloud Automation:

• Build and operate automation on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using native CLIs, SDKs, and infrastructure-as-code practices.

Monitoring and Notifications:

• Build alerting and notification automation (Slack, email) so failures and stalls surface before they affect clients.

Process Improvement:

• Think critically about existing processes and propose better solutions rather than maintaining the status quo.
• Drive improvements that make the platform more sustainable and scalable.

Documentation:

• Maintain comprehensive documentation of workflows, runbooks, deployment procedures, and automation standards.

Collaboration:

• Collaborate with development, TechOps, and infrastructure teams to streamline how work moves from code to production.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3+ years experience as a developer (Python, Java, shell, etc.).
• Hands-on experience building and operating orchestrated deployment pipelines and production workflows.
• Strong Python and shell scripting (bash) skills.
• Experience with cloud platforms, primarily Amazon Web Services (AWS), and automating against them.
• Experience with Linux system administration and troubleshooting.
• Familiarity with Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines and managing versions and releases across multiple environments.
• Working knowledge of SQL and relational databases (PostgreSQL).
• A developer's mindset applied to operations: the ability to see a manual process, understand why it exists, and design something better.
• Excellent problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Strong communication and teamwork abilities.

Nice to Have

• Experience working with Apache Airflow or similar workflow orchestration tools.
• Experience automating disaster recovery processes.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Java development experience.
• Background in financial services, brokerage operations, tax reporting, or cost basis processing.
