BAM is seeking a Platform Engineer to join our Platform Engineering team in a hybrid SRE/DevOps capacity. This is a unique opportunity to shape the architecture, reliability, and automation of our trading and technology platforms, driving both operational excellence and engineering innovation across the firm.

Key Responsibilities

  • Champion SRE and DevOps best practices—including observability, automation, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code—across cloud and on-premises environments.
  • Develop and promote standards for reliability, performance, and security, including service level objectives (SLOs), incident management, and post-mortems.
  • Implement and maintain monitoring and observability offerings, with a low barrier to entry.
  • Design and automate deployment pipelines and operational processes to improve efficiency, reliability, and developer autonomy.
  • Collaborate with development teams to enhance service stability, scalability, and fault tolerance through mentoring, documentation, and hands-on support.
  • Participate in on-call rotation and incident response, sharing responsibility for production reliability.

To be considered a good fit, you must have:

  • 7+ years of hands-on experience in SRE, DevOps, or Platform Engineering roles within complex, distributed systems environments.
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, information systems, or equivalent experience.
  • Strong software engineering skills with Python or GoLang
  • Experience architecting and implementing testable, scalable, and reliable software and infrastructure solutions.
  • Deep expertise with containers and Kubernetes, including application management and orchestration.
  • Experience building and maintaining RESTful APIs.
  • Proficiency with configuration/infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Kubernetes Operators).
  • Experience with CI/CD platforms and automation of SDLC processes.
  • Experience working with and maintaining observability solutions.
  • Experience working with both cloud (AWS preferred) and on-premises hosting platforms.
