The Opportunity

We are building the financial operations HUB of the future. Our collective success requires an exacting blend of, technological prowess, deep industry knowledge, customer centricity and a singularly motivated team.

Purpose

HUB is a cloud-first organization. There are no on-premises legacy systems or hybrid setups and we want you to help us deliver on the advantages this brings. Initially, you will be working with a core infrastructure team. Your focus will be on delivering features for our Azure platform and making sure the platform is secure, available, resilient, and cost-optimized. As the platform evolves, you will engage with product teams to help create the infrastructure for their workloads.

You will be responsible for research, design, advising, architecting, and creating tools that automate, monitor, and scale infrastructure. Make systems more elastic, responsive, and automatically balanced.

In addition, you will support development of technical requirements for network infrastructure. This includes design and deployment of secure communication to/from customers and third-party integrations.

Accountabilities

• Embody the HUB Foundation teams principle of ‘Everybody codes, everything as code’
• Have a deep understanding of HUB Reference Architecture and its constituent technologies
• Target a best-in-class developer experience when adopting new technologies, while understanding maturity is a gradual process
• Provide technical subject matter expertise on infrastructure engineering with an emphasis on modern, cloud infrastructure, hybrid cloud models, and platform services
• Understand the pros and cons of complex architecture patterns and translating these into technical implementations
• Approach every implementation with an InfoSec mindset to guarantee HUB’s infrastructure is secure and compliant
• Produce technical solutions by understanding the pros and cons of complex architecture patterns and translating these into technical implementations
• Ensure the highest quality of source code by limiting technical debt where possible
• Stay up to date with technology trends and developments in Azure and the wider Cloud Engineering space
• Develop the wider team by mentoring other engineers
• Embrace an Agile environment with iterative development and regular demos
