Your OpportunityBDO Digital is looking for a replacement
Senior Platform Engineer to join our team. This is enterprise-scale platform solutioning, not single-application DevOps. You will build a platform or self-service system that hundreds of applications and many different teams can consume.
The individual will own the following responsibilities:
- Design, build, and maintain enterprise cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines using Terraform and GitHub Actions.
- Build reusable, self-service platform capabilities that can be consumed by hundreds of applications and multiple engineering teams-not point solutions for a single team.
- Own the full lifecycle of cloud services, including observability, security vulnerability management, and RBAC (role-based access control).
- Participate in full SDLC activities, including requirements gathering and enterprise architecture discussions with client stakeholders.
- Maintain thorough documentation, planning artifacts, and detailed ticket updates to provide client visibility.
- Operate within enterprise governance, security, and change-management frameworks as a platform contributor, helping shape and scale cloud capabilities across the organization.
How do we define success for your role? - You demonstrate BDO's core values through all aspects of your work: Integrity, Respect and Collaboration
- You understand your client's industry, challenges, and opportunities; clients describe you as positive, professional, and delivering high-quality work
- You identify, recommend, and are focused on effective service delivery to your clients
- You share in an inclusive and engaging work environment that develops, retains and attracts talent
- You actively participate in the adoption of digital tools and strategies to drive an innovative workplace
- You grow your expertise through learning and professional development.
Your experience and education- True enterprise-scale delivery experience: shared, self-service platforms consumed by many independent application teams, not single-application deployments
- Enterprise governance and landing-zone experience: multi-subscription/multi-account structuring, policy-as-code, and consistent tagging/naming standards enforced at scale
- Identity and access management at scale: Azure AD/Entra ID, RBAC and least-privilege design, service principal / managed identity governance
- Enterprise network architecture: hub-spoke topology, VNet peering, private endpoints, network segmentation
- Security posture and compliance for regulated industries: vulnerability management, threat modeling, audit readiness, and comfort with the change-control standards banks impose on vendors
- Observability at scale: centralized logging, monitoring, and alerting (Azure Monitor/Log Analytics or equivalent), operating to SLA/SLO expectations
- Cost governance / FinOps awareness across many consuming teams
- Comfortable operating within formal change-management/ITSM processes (CAB approvals, detailed ticketing discipline)
- Resilience and disaster-recovery planning - designing for high availability, since platform outages affect many downstream teams
- Architecture-level thinking for platform-level (vs. service-level) engagements - the client considers this non-negotiable at platform scale
- Full SDLC fluency, including requirement gathering and enterprise architecture discussions with client stakeholders
- Strong written communication: detailed documentation, planning in Excel, and thorough ticket-level updates - enterprise clients expect constant visibility into status
- Able to explain technical approach and reasoning in depth; this work is reviewed closely by the client's own in-house architects
- Kubernetes / containerization expertise at depth (needed for at least one of the team's hires)
- Formal cloud platform experience beyond working knowledge (Azure, GCP, or AWS), e.g., Infrastructure-as-Code / Terraform exposure
Must have experience:- Terraform - hands-on Infrastructure-as-Code experience (top priority)
- GitHub / GitHub Actions - CI/CD pipeline design and management
- Microsoft Azure as primary cloud platform; GCP or AWS experience is a plus but not required
- Python, used alongside Terraform for automation and scripting where IaC alone isn't sufficient
- YAML for CI/CD pipeline configuration
- SQL / PostgreSQL and Azure App Service (service-level cloud skills)
- Kubernetes / containerization working knowledge
Nice-to-Have:- Prior banking or financial-services experience
The expected range of compensation for this role is $84,000 - $128,000 annually.
