Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

IT Operations Lead Full-Time, Senior Individual Contributor

About The Role

This Cloud Infrastructure Engineer role requires someone who can own cybersecurity and access management within IT Operations without waiting to be told what needs to be done. The the firm's business intelligence environment is critical infrastructure, and the people who depend on it — our analysts, our clients, our firm — need it to work. You will use Python, Django, and PostgreSQL on AWS and Snowflake to build and maintain systems that meet that standard.

The Cloud Infrastructure Engineer will join ACPWB's IT Operations team to drive cybersecurity and access management improvements to the the firm's business intelligence environment. Working in Python, Django, and PostgreSQL, you will partner with data engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders to build solutions that have measurable impact on firm performance. We deploy frequently, review code carefully, and invest in the quality of our technical foundation.

Key Responsibilities

• ◆ Develop and maintain BI dashboards and analytical reports for internal stakeholders using Python, Django, and PostgreSQL
• ◆ Support end users of the the firm's business intelligence environment with technical guidance, training, and issue resolution
• ◆ Contribute to code reviews, technical documentation, and engineering standards for the IT Operations team
• ◆ Enforce data quality standards and develop automated validation and monitoring for data pipelines
• ◆ Document system architecture, data models, and operational runbooks for the IT Operations team
• ◆ Monitor system health, troubleshoot issues, and respond to incidents with appropriate urgency and documentation

Qualifications

Required

• ◆ Experience with version control (Git), code review practices, and CI/CD pipelines
• ◆ Demonstrated curiosity about new tools and technologies with evidence of self-directed technical learning
• ◆ 4+ years of professional experience in software engineering, data engineering, or a closely related technical discipline
• ◆ Solid understanding of relational database design, SQL, and data modeling principles
• ◆ Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders

Preferred

• ◆ Experience with PostgreSQL, Snowflake, or other enterprise relational or analytical databases
• ◆ Prior experience in a professional services or advisory firm technology environment
• ◆ Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
• ◆ Background in application security including OWASP principles and secure development practices

WHY ACPWB

In eighteen years, ACPWB has grown from a boutique Milwaukee advisory practice into a nationally recognized firm without losing the culture that made it worth building. People who joined in 2006 and 2010 and 2015 are still here. We believe that is evidence of something worth naming.

ACPWB was founded in Milwaukee in 2006 with a simple mandate: help working Americans understand and advocate for the compensation they deserve. Eighteen years later, that mandate has grown into a full-service research and advisory practice serving clients from early-stage employers to Fortune 50 enterprises — and we are still based in Milwaukee, because Milwaukee is genuinely underrated.

INTERVIEW PROCESS

Our process has four stages: a 30-minute talent screen, a 60-minute hiring manager interview, a 90-minute cross-functional panel, and a final conversation with a senior leader. We aim to complete the process in two to three weeks. We communicate outcomes at each stage, including outcomes that are not what you hoped for.

What Success Looks Like In Year One

• ◆ Demonstrate the ability to scope technical work accurately and deliver against that scope
• ◆ Build a productive working relationship with at least two non-engineering stakeholders who depend on the the firm's business intelligence environment
• ◆ Support at least one cross-functional project where your technical work enables an advisory deliverable
• ◆ Ship at least two meaningful features or improvements to the the firm's business intelligence environment with full documentation
• ◆ Develop a thorough working knowledge of the the firm's business intelligence environment architecture, data flows, and dependencies
