Your Opportunity

BDO Digital is looking for a replacement Senior Cloud 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.
