What this job asks for AI summary
A hybrid consulting and pre-sales engineering role at a platform engineering firm focused on financial services clients. Roughly half the time is spent hands-on — building cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes platforms, IaC, and CI/CD pipelines for clients — while the other half supports the sales cycle through technical discovery, solution design, scoping, and presenting proposals to engineering and executive audiences. Suits an experienced cloud/platform engineer comfortable in both delivery and customer-facing contexts.

Why we read it this way (7)
The role is a genuine hybrid: roughly half client delivery (hands-on platform/infrastructure engineering) and half pre-sales solution design and go-to-market support. SOC 15-1252 (Software Developers) was chosen because the delivery half centres on writing Infrastructure as Code, building CI/CD pipelines, and designing Kubernetes platforms — work BLS classifies as software development. 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) is the runner-up given the infrastructure operations flavour.
The cloud platform requirement is stated as 'AWS, GCP, or Azure' — a single gate on cloud experience with three named alternatives. AWS is listed first and is the most common in financial-services engagements; GCP and Azure are captured as alternatives.
Terraform is listed with the qualifier 'or equivalent Infrastructure as Code'; well-known substitutes (Pulumi, CloudFormation, Ansible) are captured in alternatives.
The JD names no specific observability/monitoring product (e.g. Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana); 'observability' is used as the canonical skill name to reflect the open-ended requirement.
No degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
The title 'Platform Engineer - Client Solutions' carries no seniority level word, so the title states no level. The 8-10+ years requirement and the scope (client-facing consulting, solution design, executive presentations) support a Senior classification.
