ABOUT THIS ROLE

Apex Fintech Solutions is seeking a Platform Engineer to join our Cloud Engineering team. In this role, you will design, build, and manage the cloud infrastructure and foundational services that power our financial products. You will work alongside a talented team of platform engineers under the guidance of senior technical leaders to deliver scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

This is a hands-on individual contributor role ideal for an engineer with solid cloud infrastructure and infrastructure-as-code experience who is eager to deepen their expertise in platform and cloud engineering within a fast-paced fintech environment.

• Design, provision, and manage cloud infrastructure on GCP using Terraform and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) practices
• Build and maintain reusable Terraform modules, templates, and patterns that enable engineering teams to self-serve infrastructure safely and consistently
• Develop and improve CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure deployment, ensuring reliable and repeatable delivery of cloud resources
• Manage and optimize GCP services including GKE, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, BigQuery, IAM, VPC networking, and Cloud Storage
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve cloud infrastructure reliability and performance issues, contributing to incident response as needed
• Implement and enforce cloud security best practices including IAM policies, network segmentation, encryption, and compliance controls
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to understand their infrastructure needs and deliver effective, well-architected cloud solutions
• Contribute to reducing operational toil through automation, self-service tooling, and process improvements
• Maintain infrastructure documentation, runbooks, and operational procedures
• Stay current with GCP services, Terraform releases, and emerging cloud-native technologies and practices
• Support cost optimization efforts by monitoring cloud spend and recommending right-sizing and efficiency improvements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent work experience)
• 3-5 years of experience in cloud engineering, infrastructure engineering, or DevOps
• Hands-on experience with a major cloud platform required - GCP preferred (GKE, Cloud SQL, IAM, VPC, Pub/Sub) or AWS (EC2, EKS, S3, RDS, IAM, VPC, Lambda)
• Strong experience with Terraform for infrastructure provisioning and management
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes/GKE)
• Experience with CI/CD tools and deployment automation, particularly GitHub Actions
• Exposure to data orchestration platforms (e.g., Apache Airflow) is a plus
• Experience with disaster recovery planning, multi-environment resilience, or FinOps practices is a plus

• Strong proficiency in Terraform (modules, state management, workspaces) and IaC best practices
• Solid understanding of cloud services across GCP (Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, IAM, VPC, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, Cloud Logging/Monitoring) or equivalent AWS services
• Working knowledge of networking fundamentals including DNS, load balancing, firewalls, and VPN/interconnect
• Familiarity with scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash, Go) for automation and tooling - not a heavy software development role
• Understanding of cloud security principles including least-privilege IAM, network security, encryption at rest/in transit, and compliance frameworks
• Experience managing or supporting CI/CD infrastructure including GitHub Actions workflows and runners
• Understanding of infrastructure compliance requirements and the ability to implement controls to meet regulatory and audit standards
• Solid understanding of DevOps and SRE principles including CI/CD, GitOps, and deployment strategies
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues
• Effective communication skills with the ability to collaborate across engineering teams
• Ownership mentality with personal accountability and attention to detail
• Eagerness to learn new cloud technologies and adapt to a rapidly evolving infrastructure landscape

• Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools (e.g., Cloud Monitoring, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog)
• Familiarity with data orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow
• Understanding of FinOps principles - cloud cost allocation, tagging strategies, budgeting, and right-sizing recommendations
• Awareness of disaster recovery (DR) strategies, multi-environment architecture, and infrastructure resilience patterns
• Financial services or regulated environment experience
• Familiarity with financial systems, trading and accounting concepts, and compliance within regulated environments
• Cloud certifications (GCP Associate Cloud Engineer, GCP Professional Cloud Engineer, AWS Cloud Practitioner, AWS Solutions Architect Associate)
