Tech Lead - Cloud Engineering

Your team

Pictet Tech designs, integrates and operates software applications ranging from portfolio management systems and trading platforms to banking and corporate solutions. The division is responsible for some of the Group’s key innovations while sustaining business operations.
The Cloud Platform team operates Pictet’s cloud landing zone and is the partner our engineering teams turn to when they build on it. As cloud adoption grows across Pictet’s engineering community, our goal is to help teams move faster with less friction.
As a Tech Lead in this team, you will build and operate the platform, anchor technical decisions and raise the engineering bar as we mature from automation to a self-service product.

Your role

• to operate and continuously improve Pictet’s cloud landing zone on AWS and Azure, acting as a trusted technical advisor to the engineers who build on it. 
• to give advice on and work with product teams co-build cloud blueprints, turning shared patterns into reusable, self-service building blocks.
• to lead the shift from automation to a self-service platform by designing the paved path and abstraction layer that reduce internal clients’ cognitive load.
• to Act as a Tech Lead by anchoring key design decisions, mentoring engineers and setting the paved-road standards relied on by the team and its internal clients.
• to align with developers, infrastructure engineers, cybersecurity and risk managers to apply standards and provide guidance, and building in security and good practice by default.

• In-depth expertise in infrastructure as code on AWS and/or Azure, with strong Terraform experience and, ideally, exposure to landing-zone or multi-account governance and automation.
• Solid architecture background in identity and access management, networking and integration, with the ability to reason through design choices.

• Experience as a tech lead or senior individual contributor, making and guiding technical decisions for a team.
• Experience with containers, orchestration and the wider tooling ecosystem, including Kubernetes and GitHub Actions or CI/CD.
• Exposure to DevSecOps, agentic AI or FinOps practices would be an advantage.
• A team player with strong communication skills, intellectual curiosity and a willingness to learn.
• Fluent English is required; French would be an advantage. Otherwise, candidates should be willing to learn it.
