Job description

A CAREER WITH POINT72’S TECHNOLOGY TEAM

As Point72 reimagines the future of investing, our Technology team is constantly evolving our firm’s IT infrastructure and engineering capabilities, positioning us at the forefront of a rapidly evolving technology landscape. We’re a team of experts who experiment and work to discover new ways to harness open-source solutions, modern cloud architectures, and sophisticated Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions, while embracing enterprise agile methodologies. Our commitment to building and innovating in the AI space provides the framework intended to drive smarter decision making and enhance how we build and operate our platforms and applications. As a member of Point72’s Technology team, we encourage and support your professional development from day one—helping you advance your technical skills, contribute innovative ideas, and satisfy your own intellectual curiosity—all while delivering real business impact for our multi-billion-dollar global business.

What you’ll do

• Design, operate, and continuously improve our Kubernetes infrastructure on Amazon EKS, including Karpenter-based autoscaling, workload scheduling, and cluster lifecycle management
• Administer and tune PostgreSQL databases (on RDS) that back platform applications such as Airflow — handling configuration, parameter tuning, maintenance, and reliability, not query optimization
• Own our Infrastructure as Code using Terraform — provisioning, modifying, and auditing AWS resources including S3, EC2, RDS, EKS, and IAM
• Manage IAM roles, policies, and access patterns across our AWS environment with a security-first mindset
• Maintain our artifact registries (ECR, Artifactory) — enforcing retention policies, image versioning standards, and responding to infosec requests around package vulnerabilities and container image remediation
• Own and evolve our monitoring and observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenSearch) — improving coverage, reducing noise, and evaluating the stack as needs change
• Support our CI/CD and source control environment across both current (Bitbucket, Jenkins) and target (GitHub, GitHub Actions) tooling as we migrate
• Collaborate with data engineers to define infrastructure patterns, containerization standards, and deployment best practices
• Participate in on-call rotation for platform-level incidents

What’s required

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
• 4+ years of hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or DevOps in production environments
• Deep expertise with Kubernetes in production — ideally Amazon EKS — including autoscaling (Karpenter or Cluster Autoscaler), networking, and day-to-day operations
• Strong proficiency in Terraform for infrastructure as code
• Solid AWS experience across EKS, EC2, S3, RDS, and IAM
• Experience administering PostgreSQL or similar relational databases in a cloud environment — configuration, tuning for specific workloads, and operational maintenance
• Hands-on experience with Helm, ArgoCD, and GitOps delivery workflows
• Experience with observability tooling — Prometheus, Grafana, and log aggregation (OpenSearch or similar)
• Familiarity with artifact management, container image lifecycle, and vulnerability remediation workflows
• Experience with code repository and CI/CD solutions such as Bitbucket, Jenkins, GitHub, and GitHub Actions
• Scripting and automation proficiency in Python and/or Bash
• Strong Linux fundamentals and comfort operating cloud-native production systems
• Commitment to the highest ethical standards
