A leading fintech organization powering secure digital payment solutions for major financial institutions across the U.S. is hiring a full-time Cloud Platform Engineer to help design, implement, and optimize AWS-based infrastructure as they migrate mission-critical systems from on-prem to the cloud. This role is heavily focused on AWS (EC2, EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3), Kubernetes, Terraform (IaC), Docker, and cloud security within a highly regulated environment.
This is a high-impact role supporting a multi-year cloud transformation initiative.
