If you are motivated by building secure, intentional, and future-ready banking infrastructure, we invite you to explore opportunities with Monet Bank.

About the Role

We're a small, fast-moving bank, and our cloud environment is core to everything we build. As a Senior Cloud Architect, you'll own our AWS environment end to end — designing it, running it, securing it, and setting the standards we grow into. This is a hands-on role with real autonomy and unusually direct impact: you won't be one architect among many, you'll be our cloud function. If you like the pace of a startup but want the substance of building resilient, compliant infrastructure for a regulated bank, this is that role.

What You'll Own

• The design, operation, and security of Monet's entire AWS environment.
• The migration and modernization path for key workloads to the cloud.
• The automation, resilience, and cost standards the rest of the team builds against.

Core Responsibilities (Essential duties include, but are not limited to):

Architecture & delivery

• Design and operate scalable, secure, cost-effective AWS architectures across compute, storage, data, and networking.
• Lead cloud migration and modernization with minimal disruption to the business.

Automation & operations

• Drive Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD so provisioning is consistent, repeatable, and auditable.
• Own monitoring, capacity planning, disaster recovery, and cost optimization; design backup and multi-region failover strategies.
• Maintain clear architecture documentation and data-flow diagrams for operations and audit.

Security & compliance

• Define and enforce cloud security standards (network design, encryption, and identity & access management) aligned to banking regulations.
• Partner with Security and Risk to keep the architecture compliant by design.

Collaboration

• Work directly across a small, cross-functional team, and help establish engineering standards as the team grows.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and manage key cloud vendor relationships.

AI Platform Administration

As a secondary responsibility, administer Monet's AI platforms (Claude / ChatGPT): user provisioning and access controls, SSO/identity integration, and usage guidelines and security guardrails for responsible, compliant AI use in a regulated environment. This is a smaller, well-scoped part of the role alongside your core cloud work.

Required Qualifications:

• 8-10 years in IT (at least 5 years in cloud architecture or infrastructure roles) with strong, hands-on cloud experience, including demonstrated AWS delivery.
• Deep AWS expertise across compute, storage, networking, and databases.
• Hands-on with Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD.
• Strong cloud network and security design: VPC, encryption, and identity and access management.
• Comfortable operating with autonomy in a small, fast-paced environment and wearing multiple hats.
• Bachelor's degree in a related field is required.

Preferred Qualifications:

• AWS certification (Solutions Architect – Professional).
• Edge security/CDN and observability tooling.
• Experience administering or governing enterprise AI platforms (e.g., OpenAI/ChatGPT).
• Financial services or other regulated-industry experience.

Benefits options include:

• Medical, dental and vision coverage
• 401K with company match
• 10 paid holidays
• Accrue up to 17 vacation/sick days per year in your first year on a pro rata basis
• Applicant may be eligible for annual discretionary bonus

No relocation assistance provided.

If you are looking to be a part of a winning team and meet the above requirements, we look forward to hearing from you.
