Who We're Looking For

Toyota Financial Services (TFS) Technology team is looking for a highly motivated person to fill a role as a Dev Ops/Platform Engineer within the Security Intelligence Engineering organization. You'll own the AWS cloud infrastructure that powers AI-driven security intelligence platform - from data lake architecture and serverless functions, through container orchestration clusters with GPU node groups for model inference. This role ensures the platform is reliable, secure, observable, and cost-efficient as it scales.

You build the foundation that lets engineers ship AI-powered security features without worrying about infrastructure - and you ensure no security data ever leaves the corporate network.

What you'll be doing

• Design and implement cloud data lake architecture for security telemetry ingestion and retention
• Build and manage container orchestration clusters - including CPU and GPU node groups for model inference
• Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines for all platform components (data connectors, dashboards, ML models)
• Write and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or CDK across all environments
• Implement monitoring, alerting, and observability (metrics, logging, distributed tracing)
• Manage container lifecycle - images, registry, deployment strategies, scaling policies
• Handle secrets management, network architecture, and security controls for the platform itself
• Optimize cloud costs - right-sizing instances, reserved capacity planning, spot instance strategies
• Support ML training infrastructure (training jobs, model endpoints, model registry)
• Build and maintain model serving infrastructure for production inference workloads
• Ensure all processing occurs on internal cloud infrastructure with no data leaving the corporate network
• Implement secure authentication for all API connections to enterprise security tools

What You Bring

• 4+ years in AWS infrastructure engineering or platform/SRE roles
• Deep Kubernetes/EKS experience - cluster management, networking, autoscaling, troubleshooting
• Production experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform strongly preferred, CDK acceptable)
• Strong Docker and container orchestration skills
• CI/CD pipeline design and implementation (Git Hub Actions, Git Lab CI, or similar)
• AWS networking: VPC design, security groups, private subnets, VPC endpoints
• IAM policy design - least-privilege access patterns,…
