• Define and improve the developer and platform team experience for consuming the golden path.
• Establish controlled processes for building, testing, releasing, and promoting platform code across environments.
• Create clear documentation covering the usage, maintenance, and support model for reusable Terraform components.
• Validate the golden path through a selected pilot application and use the findings to improve the solution.
• Collaborate with technical teams and consultants working across multiple projects and timelines.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of professional experience in DevOps or Cloud Engineering.
• At least 1 year of hands‑on experience with AWS Cloud.

• Knowledge of cloud security, particularly AWS IAM, is highly valued.
• Understanding of AWS networking concepts, including VPCs, routing, and connectivity.
• Familiarity with governance and compliance requirements in cloud environments.
• Strong technical documentation and communication skills.
• Fluent English, with at least B2 proficiency in speaking, writing, and listening.
• French language skills are considered an advantage.
• Strong communication, autonomy, organizational, and prioritization skills.
• Comfortable managing responsibilities across multiple projects and collaborating with consultants working on different timelines.
• Availability to start immediately or within approximately two weeks is preferred.

Benefits:

• 100% remote working opportunity, providing flexibility to work from the location where you are most comfortable and productive.
• Opportunity to contribute to an international banking-sector project.

• International career exposure, with opportunities to work with teams and projects across Europe and other global markets.
