What you will do

Our Technology Solutions Group is a dynamic, fast-paced environment, with exciting changes on the horizon under new senior leadership. We are looking for you to build out scalable applications to support our Portfolio Management, Compliance, Finance, Data Governance, Operational Risk, and Human Resources teams. You will need to have in-depth technical knowledge of Java or Python together with strong SQL and should feel comfortable working within large internal and external data sets. We want you to see this challenge as a unique and valuable opportunity, so if this sounds interesting, then PGIM could be the place for you.

What you can expect

This role focuses on CI/CD, platform engineering, and operational excellence across on-prem, AWS, and Azure
Will work closely with development teams to understand their design/challenges, propose technical solutions, and assist with implementation of systems.
Standardize CI/CD on GitHub Actions by building reusable workflows/composite actions, defining runner strategy, and enforcing environment protections/approvals and required quality gates; automate build, test, security checks, and progressive delivery (blue/green, canary) to enable developer self-service.
Develop automated infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, source code management and new ways to operate and collaborate; implement Infrastructure as Code using CloudFormation and Terraform.
Use role-relevant languages and frameworks such as Python, Shell/PowerShellplus Groovy/JavaScript as needed for pipeline automation.
Implement GitOps-based deployment patterns and environment promotion workflows; establish guardrails for configuration, secrets, and change management across environments.
Partner with engineering and leadership on FinOps practices: cost allocation/tagging standards, budget alerts, showback/chargeback reporting, rightsizing and scheduling, and optimization of compute/storage/network spend.
Drive DevSecOps and Security Operations alignment by partnering with security teams on detection and response (triage, containment, postmortems), improving platform hardening and access controls, and ensuring audit-ready logging and monitoring.
Define and operationalize SRE practices: SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, on-call readiness, runbooks, automated remediation, and service health dashboards leveraging modern observability tooling.
In addition to deep technical expertise and engineering mindset, you will bring excellent problem solving, communication and teamwork skills, along with agile ways of working, strong desire to new tools and technology and an inclusive attitude!

Experience designing and operating CI/CD platforms with GitHub Actions as the primary automation layer (workflow-as-code, reusable workflows/actions, runners, environment protections), plus familiarity integrating or migrating from legacy tooling (e.g., Jenkins) as needed.
Understands networking, DNS, routing and messaging, especially between services
Experience with microservices and designing observability (metrics, logs, traces) for production services.
Working knowledge of cloud security and SecOps processes (IAM, key management, logging/monitoring, vulnerability remediation, incident response) and ability to embed security controls into workflows.
Experience applying FinOps concepts in AWS/Azure (cost visibility, tagging, budgeting, forecasting, rightsizing, reserved capacity/savings plans) and communicating cost drivers to engineering stakeholders.
Ability to speak to SDLC best practices and industry trends.
Familiarity with various Software Engineering domains:

Software development processes (Java, Python, JavaScript, SQL, Shell, Infrastructure-as-Code, Configuration-as-Code)
Issue tracking and versioning (Jira)
Package managers (pip, npm) and Build tools (Gradle, Maven)

Cloud container platforms: Amazon EKS/ECS and ECR; Azure AKS and ACR (including image scanning/signing where available).
Continuous delivery & GitOps tooling (e.g., Argo CD, Flux) and Helm/Kustomize-based configuration management.
Cloud-native identity, secrets, and configuration: AWS IAM/KMS/SSM Parameter Store/Secrets Manager; Azure Entra ID, Key Vault, and App Configuration.
Cloud monitoring/logging: AWS CloudWatch/CloudTrail; Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights (plus integrations with Splunk/Dynatrace/Datadog as applicable).
Policy-as-code and compliance automation (e.g., OPA/Gatekeeper, Terraform policy frameworks) and secrets management practices.
