Job Number: 7380

An international financial trading company with Brickell Key location is hiring a Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer to own and automate their AWS environment while maintaining strong Linux systems fundamentals. This is not an IT support role with cloud exposure — we're looking for a genuinely hands‑on infrastructure engineer who thinks in automation first, with the systems depth to troubleshoot anything underneath it.

Because our US‑based team operates out of a single Miami office, this role also serves as our local technical point of contact for the occasional issue that requires physical presence — a switch, a network drop, a workstation. That is a small part of the job and not its center of gravity.

• Cloud infrastructure & automation (~70%):
  Design, build, and maintain AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform and/or Ansible). Own provisioning, scaling, and automation of cloud resources across compute, networking, storage, and IAM.
• Linux & infrastructure operations (~25%):
  Administer and harden Linux systems, manage configuration and patching, support core infrastructure services, and troubleshoot at the OS and network layer.
• Local IT & networking (~5%):
  Provide hands‑on support for on‑site infrastructure needs — network switches, cabling, workstation setup — when physical intervention is required at the Brickell Key office.

• Proven, hands‑on AWS experience (compute, VPC/networking, IAM, storage) — not certification‑only exposure
• Working proficiency with Terraform and/or Ansible in a production environment
• Strong Linux administration background (systems you can actually operate and fix, not just deploy)
• Solid networking fundamentals (routing, switching, DNS, firewalls)
• Broad, self‑directed troubleshooting ability across cloud and on‑prem layers
• A career progression that shows either: (a) systems/Linux administration andcloud engineering, or (b) cloud/Dev Ops engineering that has retained real underlying systems knowledge
• Comfortable working on‑site regularly in Miami and available for occasional physical infrastructure work

• Experience in a financial services, trading, or other latency-/uptime-sensitive environment
• Scripting ability (Python, Bash) beyond IaC tooling
• Exposure to monitoring/observability stacks (Cloud Watch, Datadog, Prometheus, etc.)
• Security fundamentals — IAM policy design, VPC segmentation, encryption at rest/in transit

This is a hybrid role based in Miami. The successful candidate must live in the South Florida area and be available for regular on‑site work at our Brickell Key office, including on short notice when local hardware or network issues require hands‑on intervention.
