Role Overview

We are seeking Engineers to join a team that technically coordinates and accelerates the demise of on-premises infrastructure — file storage (NAS), CPU Cores — linked to applications that have been decommissioned as part of a firmwide cloud migration. This is a high-visibility program partnering with senior application owners and storage teams to ensure timely, compliant, and well-communicated infrastructure reclamation across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

Infrastructure Identification & Cataloguing

- Identify and catalogue residual NAS file shares, CPU allocations, and object storage linked to decommissioned applications.
- Analyse data in Excel and internal tools to identify decommissioning candidates and measure outcomes.
- Engage application owners to notify them of remaining infrastructure and secure formal approval for deletion.

Execution

- Raise and manage Change Requests for approved decommissioning actions.
- Work with Storage, Compute, and Platform teams to execute permanent infrastructure removal.
- Track progress, escalations, and blockers via Jira — maintain clean boards and accurate status at all times.
- Produce and distribute structured notifications, reports, and dashboards to stakeholders and senior leadership.

Process Improvement & Automation

- Maintain a rigorous approach to operational excellence; proactively follow up on outstanding approvals and escalate delays per SLA with explicit professional communication.
- Continuously improve processes, templates, and automation to increase decommissioning throughput.




- Work with cross-functional infrastructure and platform teams; demonstrate an aptitude for learning new workflows and tooling as necessary.

Technical Skills

Basic Qualifications

- Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
- 3–5 years of professional experience in infrastructure management, technology project delivery, and/or enterprise-scale environments involving large numbers of business-critical applications.
- Unix/Linux Shell Scripting; basic proficiency in Python (scripting, automation, data manipulation).
- Familiarity with change management processes in regulated financial industries.

Core Infrastructure Competencies

- NAS / File Storage: Understanding of mounts, shares, volumes, quotas, and lifecycle management.
- CPU / Compute Infrastructure: Familiarity with on-prem capacity management and decommissioning procedures.
- Object Storage: Awareness of cloud/on-prem object stores and data retention policies.
- Development Environments: Working knowledge of IDEs such as VS Code, IntelliJ IDEA, and PyCharm.
- AI & Automation Tools: Familiarity with AI engines and assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini) to accelerate operational tasks and reporting.
