Cloud Engineer

At BBH, Partnership is more than a form of ownership—it’s our approach to business and relationships. We know that supporting your professional and personal goals is the best way to help our clients and advance our business. We take that responsibility seriously. With a 200-year legacy and a shared passion for what’s next, this is the right place to build a fulfilling career.

About Us

We are on a mission to rebuild how financial services firms create, manage, and execute their data integrations and transformations. Today that process stretches across multiple teams, tools, and handoffs - slow to build, expensive to maintain, and nearly impossible to change. We collapse it into a single AI-native platform that business users can operate without writing a ticket, while engineering teams retain the governance and security controls they require. We're growing our founding team now.

About the Role

Our Cloud Engineer will own the infrastructure the entire platform runs on. This is a broad ownership role: cloud infrastructure on Azure, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes cluster management, security controls, and cost optimization - all under one remit.

This is not a compliance-first security role. It is a cloud infrastructure role where security is a core engineering discipline built into everything, not layered on at the end. You'll work closely with platform engineering to ensure the environment is reliable, observable, and built to scale - and you'll give the rest of the engineering team the confidence to ship quickly because the foundation they're building on is solid.

You'll be one of the first cloud infrastructure hire, which means greenfield decisions and real ownership from day one.

Responsibilities

Infrastructure

• Design, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure on Azure using Terraform and GitOps practices
• Own the networking layer - VNets, Subnets, private endpoints, and DNS configuration
• Manage Azure resource organization, identity, and access management
• Monitor and optimize cloud spending while maintaining performance and reliability

CI/CD & Developer Experience

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, security scanning, and deployment automation
• Primary tooling: Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions
• Work with engineering teams to ensure deployment workflows support fast, safe iteration
• Manage environment configuration and secrets (Azure Key Vault)
• Kubernetes & Containers
• Manage AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) cluster configuration, scaling, and lifecycle
• Implement container security hardening, network policies, and RBAC
• Establish patterns for workload deployment, resource management, and observability

Security & Compliance

• Implement security controls across network, application, and data layers
• Conduct vulnerability scanning and manage remediation
• Threat modelling for platform components
• Support SOC 2 compliance requirements as the company matures

Observability & Incident Response

• Set up and maintain platform monitoring, alerting, and logging infrastructure
• Develop and own incident response procedures
• Ensure SLAs are measurable and maintained

Requirements

Experience

• 5+ years DevOps, SRE, or cloud infrastructure engineering in SaaS environments
• Production infrastructure ownership - not just contributing to an infra team, but owning outcomes

Technical Skills

• Deep Azure expertise (primary cloud) - AKS, Azure DevOps, Azure Networking, Key Vault, Azure Monitor
• Terraform - required; all infrastructure is managed as code
• Kubernetes - cluster management, networking, RBAC, security hardening
• CI/CD pipeline design - GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps
• Container security - image scanning, runtime security, secrets management
• Networking - VNet design, private endpoints, DNS, firewall rules

Practices

• Active user of AI tools for infrastructure and automation tasks

Nice to Have

• SOC 2 or PCI-DSS compliance experience
• Azure security certifications (AZ-500, AZ-104) or equivalent (CISSP, CKS)
• Financial services or compliance-sensitive infrastructure background
• Experience with data encryption at scale - Azure Key Vault, envelope encryption, field-level encryption
• AWS familiarity - we're Azure-primary but AWS awareness is useful
• Terraform modules and reusable infrastructure patterns at scale

Why Join Us

• Category-defining work - AI-native data integration and transformation for financial services doesn't exist yet. You'll help build it from the ground up.
• Enterprise backing, startup speed - The credibility, domain expertise, and runway of an established enterprise combined with the pace of a startup. This is an unusual opportunity.
• Foundational team - You'll be among the first in-house hires. You'll set architecture, culture, and standards - not inherit them.
