Connecting clients to markets, and talent for opportunity. 

With 4,300 employees and over 400,000 retail and institutional clients from more than 80 offices across five continents, we are a Fortune 100, Nasdaq listed provider connecting clients to global markets. We focus on innovation, human connection, and deliver world class products and services to all types of investors. 

As a Software Engineer on the Containers team, you’ll build, run, and continuously improve our Kubernetes platform, the foundation for application delivery. You’ll work hands-on with cluster operations, networking, ingress, storage, and core platform services, partnering closely with development, security, and operations teams to support day-to-day platform needs and drive automation through infrastructure as code and CI/CD. Using cloud-native and open-source tools, you’ll help keep the platform scalable, reliable, and secure while improving performance and developer experience so teams can ship faster and with confidence. 

This is a highly hands-on role where your work directly shapes developer experience and platform reliability, enabling teams across the company to ship faster, safer, and at scale. 

Responsibilities 

• Own and evolve Kubernetes platforms (Rancher/RKE2 or AKS), defining standards for upgrades, scaling strategies, performance tuning, cost/capacity management, backups, and HA architecture. 

• Design and lead automation and golden path initiatives, including Terraform modules, Helm/Kustomize frameworks, reusable CI/CD workflows, and scalable self-service onboarding. 

• Own GitOps architecture with Argo CD, including digest-pinned deployments, policy-as-code, image signing/SBOM integration, drift detection, and rollback strategies. 

• Define and harden CI/CD patterns that balance speed, security, and compliance, including identity-based cloud access, approvals, and immutable audit trails. 

• Set strategy for container supply chain security and registry governance (ACR), including promotion models and immutability. 

• Own platform observability, defining SLOs, alerting standards, dashboards, and capacity hygiene across clusters. 

• Partner closely with engineering, infrastructure, and security leaders on platform adoption, incident response, runbooks, and long-term planning. 

• Act as a technical leader on the team: mentoring engineers, influencing design decisions, and contributing to roadmap planning. 

• Ensure security and compliance controls are built into the platform by default without slowing delivery. 

To land this role you will need:  

• 5+ years in Platform, SRE, or DevOps roles with deep production Kubernetes experience. 

• Proven ownership of complex systems and experience driving platform-level initiatives. 

• Strong expertise in GitOps, CI/CD architecture, and Infrastructure as Code. 

• Advanced troubleshooting skills across large-scale distributed systems. 

• Strong communication skills and experience influencing across teams. 

What makes you stand out:  

• Experience with Rancher/RKE2 or AKS in production environments. 

• Familiarity with policy-as-code, image signing, SBOMs, or regulated CI/CD environments. 

Education / Certification Requirements:  

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience 

• Preferred certifications: Terraform Associate, Kubernetes certifications such as CKA or CKAD 

• Commitment to continual professional and technical development 

Working environment:  

• Hybrid, four days in the office. 

• Occasional Travel Requirements, for team collaboration meetings and conferences
