Role Overview

The Technology Lead Analyst – Infrastructure Orchestration is a senior-level position within Citi's Technology Infrastructure group, responsible for leading the design, architecture, and hands-on development of an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) platform – specifically the Inventory Orchestration system – used to provision, configure, and manage a broad range of middleware and database components across the enterprise. This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering and infrastructure automation, requiring a deep technical practitioner who can both architect scalable solutions and contribute high-quality code. The successful candidate will be expected to embrace and champion AI-augmented development practices, leveraging up-to-date developer productivity tools to accelerate delivery, improve code quality, and drive innovation across the team.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead the design and architecture of the Inventory Orchestration IaC platform, encompassing middleware (e.g., messaging brokers, web servers, application runtimes) and database components (e.g., relational, NoSQL, in-memory stores).
- Drive hands-on development of automation modules, playbooks, and platform tooling using Python, Ansible, Rust, and related technologies.
- Architect scalable, maintainable IaC solutions that integrate with cloud and container platforms including OpenShift and AWS, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards.
- Champion AI-assisted development practices across the team — evaluate, onboard, and govern the use of tools such as GitHub Copilot, Devin, Cursor, and other AI coding assistants to accelerate development velocity and improve code quality.
- Serve as a technology subject matter expert (SME)



for internal and external stakeholders; provide technical direction across all firm-mandated controls, compliance initiatives, and group-wide projects.
- Define and maintain a technology domain roadmap for the Inventory Orchestration platform, ensuring alignment with business and architectural goals — including a forward-looking strategy for AI tooling adoption within the engineering workflow.
- Ensure seamless integration of platform functions with broader infrastructure and application ecosystems, verifying that all components meet business and performance objectives.
- Define necessary system enhancements to enable deployment of new products, process improvements, and evolving infrastructure patterns.
- Recommend and evaluate product customizations for system integrations and third-party tool adoption, including AI-powered developer productivity platforms.
- Identify problem causality, business impact, and root causes of infrastructure-related incidents; drive resolution and preventative measures.
- Apply broad knowledge of the infrastructure engineering specialty and translate business requirements into technical solutions, with awareness of competing technologies and industry best practices.
- Mentor and advise junior and mid-level engineers, including coaching on responsible and effective use of AI development tools.




- Influence engineering decisions across the group through advice, technical counsel, and facilitation of cross-team services and standards.
- Champion compliance and risk management — assess risk implications of engineering decisions, including those introduced by AI tooling (e.g., code provenance, IP considerations, security vulnerabilities in AI-generated code); elevate and manage control issues with full transparency.
- Adhere to Citi's policies and apply sound ethical judgment regarding personal conduct, business practices, and stakeholder engagement.

Required Qualifications

- 6–10 years of relevant experience in an Engineering or Platform Engineering role, with a strong focus on infrastructure automation and IaC.
- Hands-on proficiency in Python for automation scripting, tooling, and platform development.
- Extensive experience with Ansible — writing roles, playbooks, and dynamic inventories for middleware and database provisioning at scale.
- Experience with Rust for performance-critical systems components or platform tooling.
- Working knowledge of container and cloud platforms, particularly OpenShift (Kubernetes) and AWS (e.g., EC2, S3, IAM, RDS, EKS).
- Demonstrated experience designing and implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions covering lifecycle management of middleware (e.g., Apache, Tomcat, IBM MQ, Kafka, Nginx) and database technologies (e.g., Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL).
- Practical experience with AI-powered developer tools, including one or more of the following:
- GitHub Copilot – AI pair programming, code completion, and inline documentation generation
- Devin – Autonomous AI software engineering agent for end-to-end task execution
