Platform Engineering Manager

What You Will Do

• Lead and mentor a small team of platform system integration and reliability engineers while staying close to design and delivery.
• Set practical engineering standards for observability, SLOs, incident response, deployment safety, infrastructure as code, production readiness and integration control.
• Design and improve resilient system-to-system integrations across APIs, event streams, batch/file transfers, data workflows, vendor platforms and cloud or hybrid environments.
• Build quant-grade infrastructure for systematic investment middle and back office operations, including workflow orchestration, data quality controls, reconciliations, exception handling, lineage and audit evidence.
• Build automation and AIOps capabilities that reduce manual work, improve detection and recovery, and are safe enough for production use.
• Take direct ownership of the most complex reliability, integration and production control problems, especially when incidents do not resolve cleanly.
• Partner with investment, operations, risk, data, application, infrastructure and vendor teams to solve problems and make reusable patterns stick.
• Improve observability signal quality, reducing noise and shortening time to detect and resolve incidents
• The most difficult reliability, integration and production control issues are handled with calm, clear technical leadership.
• What Y ou B ring
• Strong hands-on depth in at least two of: site reliability engineering, observability, platform engineering, systems integration, production data engineering, release engineering or production automation.
• Experience building or running production observability with tools such as Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry , ELK/OpenSearch, Azure Monitor or similar.
• Good understanding of distributed systems and integration patterns, including APIs, event-driven design, batch/file processing, data flows, failure modes, idempotency and vendor workflows.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD, infrastructure as code, containers, orchestration and modern deployment patterns.
• Experience designing infrastructure, controls or automation for investment management, capital markets middle/ back office operations, enterprise data/integration or another high-availability regulated environment.
