Senior Developer Platform Engineer

​This is a chance to build the developer platform behind complex financial infrastructure operating at global scale. You’ll join a growing engineering team building a Financial Cloud platform used to manage 50–100 independently versioned modules across dozens of highly regulated environments. The challenge is far bigger than standard CI/CD. You’ll be working on the systems that determine how software is built, tested, secured, released and deployed across a large distributed platform.

You’ll build systems that can understand which modules, sites and tests are affected by a change, then automate how those changes are validated and promoted through staging, canary and production environments.
