Role Overview:
This is an exciting opportunity to join a leading global Tier 1 financial institution undergoing a major transformation of its technology landscape.

The team's mission is to evolve the application and data hosting environments into an integrated, hybrid multi-cloud ecosystem, leveraging AWS and Google Cloud. We empower developers with self-service capabilities, infrastructure-as-code, and codified blueprints to accelerate innovation from idea to production. In this role, you will design, build, and operate resilient, scalable, and secure applications and services that drive business value across the enterprise.

This role offers not only a long-term contract opportunity, but also the potential to transition into a permanent position with either Deloitte or directly with the end client—making it an excellent option for candidates seeking both immediate impact and long-term career growth.

Key Responsibilities:
Full Stack Development: Design, develop, and maintain high-quality, scalable, and robust full-stack applications and services using Python, Java, and/or Go.
Cloud-Native Engineering: Build and deploy containerized (Docker, Kubernetes) and serverless applications on AWS and GCP, leveraging cloud-native services for compute, data, and messaging.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Develop and manage cloud infrastructure using IaC principles and tools such as Terraform and Ansible to ensure automated, repeatable, and secure environment provisioning.
Operational Excellence (SRE): Embrace a "you build it, you run it" philosophy. Take ownership of the entire lifecycle of your services, including automated testing, deployment, monitoring, and operational support. Proactively identify and resolve root causes of issues to ensure service reliability and performance.
Risk & Control Management: Adhere to technology standards and risk management frameworks. Identify, assess, and mitigate risks in your designs and code, ensuring all solutions are compliant with security policies and data regulations.
CI/CD & Automation: Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate the build, test, and deployment processes, enabling rapid and efficient delivery of new features and fixes.
Collaboration & Code Quality: Actively participate in code reviews and adhere to the Developer Manifesto principles, including owning your code, writing meaningful commit messages, and maintaining a clean and tidy repository. Collaborate across teams to promote reuse and reduce duplication.
