We are is seeking a Investment Banking Cloud Engineer consultant to support production stability, operational execution, and continuous improvement across CCR technology platforms.
The successful candidate will work with the CCR Operations IT Lead, onsite team members, offshore resources, engineering teams, and business stakeholders to help operate and improve a cloud-enabled IT operations model while reducing manual effort and operational risk through automation and process discipline.
The candidate should be a hands-on cloud engineer with strong production support discipline, the ability to troubleshoot issues, communicate clearly, manage multiple tasks, and contribute effectively within a collaborative team environment.
Major Responsibilities:

Exposure Management Application Support:

Support key production operations for applications supporting EM, including EPE/PFE calculations, limit monitoring, what-if pre-trade intraday analysis, and reporting.
Ensure platforms consistently meet the availability, performance/SLAs, and data-quality expectations of EM users during daily, intraday, and regulatory cycles (monthly, quarterly, annually).
Coordinate with onsite and offshore IT members to translate business priorities into day-to-day operational execution.
Production Operations & Continuous Improvement:

Demonstrate a continuous improvement mindset through their example, with a focus on reducing incidents, manual interventions, and operational risk, and improving turnaround time for incidents.
Contribute to measurable operational improvements using data points and KPIs/metrics such as availability, incident trends, MTTR, SLA breaches, reruns, and batch success rates.
Identify and execute practical opportunities for process standardization, tooling enhancements, and Operational simplification across the CCR application stack.
Global Delivery & Offshore Leverage:

Support a globally distributed operating model, leveraging offshore teams for L1/L2 support, batch operations oversight, upstream data feed validation, data quality monitoring.
Follow and help refine clear onshore/offshore operating boundaries, escalation paths, and ownership models to support seamless production coverage.
Contribute knowledge transfer, documentation standards, and runbook maturity to improve offshore effectiveness and reduce dependency on key individuals, ensuring service quality, productivity, and continuous skill uplift.
Incident, Problem & Change Management:

Timely escalate highseverity production incidents, particularly those impacting exposure reporting, limit breaches, what-if intraday analysis or regulatory deliverables.

Support change and release governance aligned with Client CAB, DevOps, CI/CD, risk, audit, and control standards.
Platform Reliability, Automation & Resilience:

Implement automation and self healing for batch monitoring, data validation, reconciliations, and recovery processes for production as well as lower testing environments.
Drive with Engineering and Infrastructure teams to improve observability, alerting, capacity planning, and resilience of CCR platforms.
Ensure DR/BCP readiness for EM critical systems, including regular/annual testing and documented recovery procedures.
Regulatory, Audit & Risk Controls:

Ensure CCR applications meet regulatory, audit, security, and internal risk management requirements.
Support IT Operations activities related to internal audits, regulatory exams, and model governance reviews by providing evidence, documentation, and control execution support.
Maintain robust IT control frameworks (Access management, change control, data integrity).
