HUB-Cloud Network Architect

The Opportunity
We are building the financial operations HUB of the future. Our
collective success requires an exacting blend of technological
prowess, deep industry knowledge, customer centricity and a
singularly motivated team.

Purpose

HUB is a cloud-first organization. There are no on-premises

legacy systems or hybrid setups and we want you to help us
deliver on the advantages this brings. Initially, you will be working
with a core infrastructure team. Your focus will be on delivering
features for our Azure platform and making sure the platform is
secure, available, resilient, and cost-optimized. As the platform
evolves, you will engage with product teams to help create the
infrastructure for their workloads.

You will be responsible for research, design, advising,

architecting, and creating tools that automate, monitor, and scale
infrastructure. Make systems more elastic, responsive, and
automatically balanced.

In addition, you will support development of technical

requirements for network infrastructure. This includes design and
deployment of secure communication to/from customers and
third-party integrations.
