Overview 

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 

• Operate and maintain Kubernetes platforms (Rancher/RKE2 or AKS), including upgrades, scaling, performance tuning, backups, and HA patterns. 

• Contribute to automation and golden paths by enhancing Terraform modules, Helm/Kustomize templates, GitHub Actions workflows, and self-service onboarding. 

• Implement and support GitOps workflows with Argo CD, including safe deployments, rollbacks, and drift detection. 

• Assist with container supply chain and registry management (ACR), including immutability and vulnerability scanning. 

• Help maintain platform observability (Datadog/Prometheus, Graylog/Splunk) through dashboards, alerts, and basic SLOs. 

• Partner with development and infrastructure teams for onboarding, troubleshooting, documentation, and incident response; participate in an on-call rotation. 

• Follow established security and compliance guardrails (RBAC, secrets management, change controls). 

Qualifications: 

To land this role you will need:  

• 3+ years in Platform, SRE, or DevOps roles with hands-on production Kubernetes experience. 

• Experience with GitOps and modern CI/CD tooling (e.g., Argo CD, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps). 

• Working knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), packaging (Helm/Kustomize), and Linux/networking fundamentals. 

• Scripting experience (Bash and/or Python) and comfort with YAML-driven workflows. 

• Experience troubleshooting distributed systems using logs, metrics, and traces. 

What makes you stand out:  

• Deep experience with Rancher/RKE2 or AKS in production environments. 

• Policy-as-code leadership (Kyverno/Gatekeeper), supply chain security (cosign, SBOMs). 

• ACR governance, artifact promotion strategies, and hardened self-hosted runners. 

• Experience designing or operating SOX/SOC-aligned CI/CD controls and evidence pipelines. 

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:
