• Upgrade authentication across internal tools to support single sign-on (SSO)

• Support the security certification process by improving policies, practices, and documentation
• Streamline developer environment setup to improve onboarding and productivity
• Right-size the existing AWS architecture for cost optimization, adding monitoring and instrumentation for better observability

• Awareness of cloud cost management and designing cost-effective solutions
• Ability to hit the ground running and make meaningful, hands-on contributions
• Experience with database administration
• Exposure to financial industry practices (e.g., FIX protocol) is a plus, but not required
