We’re looking for a Cloud Engineer, with a passion for public cloud, automation, and configuration management to join our world-class team. PDTers are creative, energetic, friendly, entrepreneurial, and collaborative. If you could walk around our office, you’d see that we’re a focused, intent, and nimble company with none of the attitude and bureaucracy of a stereotypical Wall Street trading firm. Our engineers love to work on challenging and complicated problems, and in return, they have a chance to make a direct impact on our bottom line. For the right talent, there is fantastic growth potential.
Quality cloud infrastructure is crucial to PDT’s growth and success, and as a member of our Core Engineering team, you’ll architect and build our next generation cloud platform, ensuring all our PDT engineering teams have access to the cloud on top of a performant, consistent, well-monitored, and secure cloud platform. In addition to building the cloud platform, you’ll collaborate closely with engineering teams, helping their applications work well with the cloud.
This is a hybrid position and will require the person to work from our New York City office at minimum 3 days a week
