Job description

Sixth Street is looking for a talented Cloud Platform Engineer interested in growing their career in a small engineering team with big goals. Being able to think on your feet while seeing the near-, mid- and long-term impact of your decisions is a must for successful candidates. You may find yourself juggling net new reference architecture builds in AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), Azure Blueprints, GCP Deployment Manager, HashiCorp Terraform, writing Identity and Access Manager (IAM) policies, building GitHub Actions (GHA) workflows, instrumenting net new code bases, deploying Cloud Custodian policies, remediating security incidents, teaching developers about AWS, GCP or Azure or working with and managing external vendors to implement net new technologies. When things get hard, the successful candidate will know when to delegate to other team members, when to automate workflows to scale themselves, when to ask for help and when to say “No.” We act as One Team pushing each other towards a better tomorrow for our Sixth Street Technology Platform: are you up for the challenge?

Core Responsibilities

• Makes the cloud look easy. At Sixth Street we don’t look at the Cloud as hype but rather a market differentiator. Our investors expect the best! And the finance sector needs better products. We’re building that future in the Cloud at Sixth Street. The successful candidate needs to know AWS in and out, understand GCP and Azure, and understand the Cloud is not just a fractional lease data center but an Application Programming Interface (API) atop physical and real-world components we instrument to make technology look like magic.
• Understands no one is an island. Sixth Street Engineering is a small group, supporting everything large enterprise departments support with a fraction of the team. We can only function this way when team members document, build, share and understand when to push their ideas and when to build with ideas from other team members. Sixth Street is leveraging everything from traditional Windows workflows to modern containerized solutions. Building scalable, highly available, secure and fault tolerant architectures on AWS using CDK and deploying them via GitHub Actions will be a must but so is being able to debug traditional server-oriented software, networking, and access patterns on Windows Servers.
• Questions, Learns and Educates. At Sixth Street we constantly ask “Why?” Some organizations claim to do this, but we live it every day. If we don’t know “Why?” we find out! Then, once we know, we document that new knowledge and share it. A successful candidate will work in Atlassian Jira, document their findings in Atlassian Confluence and use tools like GitHub, Zoom, Artifactory and other tools in our repertoire. Certifications and degrees are just as important as a bias for action coupled with experience and knowledge.

What We Value

• Highly motivated, entrepreneurial, and team-oriented candidates
• Commercial and Results Orientation
• Team orientation and influencing skills
• High Trust and Integrity
• Strong combination of organizational and interpersonal/communication skills
