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:
