Who we are...

Wyden is the leading provider of institutional digital asset trading technology to financial institutions. We are a collaborative and laser-focused team of leaders and engineers committed to building advanced, scalable and modular trading infrastructure that underpins our clients' digital asset product offerings and operations.

Today, dozens of banks, brokers, and financial service institutions rely on Wyden's products. Digital assets are now a mainstream asset class, and financial institutions are fast adopting digital assets in response to digital asset regulations around the globe.

If you are passionate about the institutional digital asset ecosystem, thrive on solving complex infrastructure challenges at scale, and want to be the technical authority who keeps mission-critical production environments running reliably across a growing roster of global financial institutions, Wyden is the home for you.

Established in Zurich, Switzerland, Wyden also has a development hub in Poland.

About the role

The Senior Cloud Platform Engineer is the AWS architecture authority for Wyden's Run function — one of the most senior technical experts in production operations. This role sits within Customer Success, reporting directly to the Head of Run, and is the engineering backbone on which every customer environment, deployment, and operational system depends.

This is not a pure operational support role and it is not a management role. It is a senior technical leadership position: you own the infrastructure architecture, you set the Dev Ops standards, and you build the systems that allow the broader Run team to operate with confidence. You will also recruit, onboard, and technically lead a SRE — defining what good looks like and building toward genuine team capability.

Zurich is the preferred location. This role will work in close daily proximity to the CTO and Head of Customer Success — involved in architectural reviews, compliance discussions, and operational governance decisions at a level that benefits significantly from being in the room.
Remote candidates based in Poland will be considered for exceptional profiles.

The deep AWS and Dev Ops execution that was previously concentrated in a single interim contractor is now formally owned by this role. Wyden's customer base is growing toward 20+ live environments. The infrastructure must scale with it — reliably, automatically.

Your responsibilities will include:
  • AWS architecture & cloud infrastructure design
  • Own the AWS architecture for all Wyden customer environments — multi-tenant and single-tenant — ensuring designs are scalable, secure, cost-efficient, and operationally maintainable
  • Design and govern the infrastructure patterns that the Run team and junior SRE operate within: VPC design, EKS cluster architecture, Aurora/RDS configurations, IAM policies, networking (VPN, Private Link, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect)
  • Lead infrastructure architectural reviews with the CTO, ensuring production decisions are technically sound and aligned with the platform roadmap
  • Identify and address infrastructure risk proactively — before incidents occur, not in response to them
  • Own AWS cost management: rightsizing, reserved instance strategy, architecture optimisations that reduce spend as the environment footprint grows
  • Infrastructure as Code & Dev Ops automation
  • Own all IaC for customer AWS deployments: design, write, test, and maintain Terraform and Terragrunt modules that are reusable, version-controlled, and reproducible across all environments
  • Design, build, and own Wyden's CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and application deployment:
    Git Lab CI, Git Hub Actions, and AWS Code Pipeline — not just using pipelines but architecting them from the ground up
  • Automa…
