POSTING CLOSE DATE: Open Until Filled

BCI is hiring a Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer to design, run, and continually improve the core infrastructure behind one of Canada's largest institutional investors.

• Strong technical writing skills and a demonstrated ability to plan, execute, and deliver project results
• Demonstrated use of AI assistants and/or agentic tools to accelerate infrastructure development, troubleshooting, and automation, with an understanding of AI workload requirements

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Lead the implementation of a secure platform operational and services strategy; develop and implement governance, policies, standards, and guidelines aligned to industry frameworks and best practices
• Develop and implement technical infrastructure roadmaps supporting BCI's strategic objectives; collaborate with Technology teams on roadmap planning, development, and implementation
• Design, analyze, and recommend cloud controls, processes, and procedures; drive product selection, POC, implementation, and deployment; ensure all cloud products and services meet BCI's availability, integrity, scalability, and security requirements
• Monitor the health of production cloud and on-prem systems; diagnose and resolve routine and complex infrastructure issues through root cause analysis; lead and perform infrastructure improvements, upgrades, and repairs
• Orchestrate and automate cloud and on-prem operational tasks; ensure optimal performance of infrastructure, servers, and services across all BCI office locations
• Champion AI-assisted workflows and agentic tools to accelerate solution development, automate routine tasks, and drive continuous improvement in infrastructure operations
• Develop comprehensive knowledge of BCI's systems and applications to ensure infrastructure architecture supports all platforms in an optimized fashion
• Provide expert input to BCI's cloud and infrastructure disaster recovery plan; contribute to project plans at a senior level; undertake special projects and assignments as required
• Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and coaching to team members; proactively identify risks and propose solutions to remove barriers
• Communicate and collaborate effectively with internal technology teams, external service providers, and stakeholders throughout the service delivery lifecycle; provide after-hours production support as required
