Job Description
We are seeking an experienced Infrastructure Risk & Control Automation Specialist to join our Technology Risk and Infrastructure Governance team within a highly regulated financial services environment. This role sits at the intersection of Infrastructure Engineering, Risk & Controls, Governance, and Automation.
The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of infrastructure platforms and technology controls, combined with hands-on experience automating risk, compliance, governance, and control processes. Unlike traditional infrastructure automation roles focused on provisioning and deployment, this position is centered on strengthening the infrastructure control framework through automation of control validation, evidence collection, compliance monitoring, governance workflows, and risk management activities.
The successful candidate will work closely with infrastructure, cybersecurity, audit, compliance, and risk management teams to improve operational efficiency, enhance control effectiveness, and support regulatory requirements through intelligent automation.
