We provide objective advice on long-term wealth building and create distinctive investment products that deliver value relative to market-based benchmarks. We operate two core lines of business: (i) our advisory team provides advice, wealth planning, and retirement services to approximately 2500 individual clients, and (ii) our investments business consists of alpha-seeking alternative investment strategies across public and private markets.

A defining characteristic of our business is our perfect alignment with our clients. Our extraordinary mandate as a boutique investment and advisory firm, grounded in a core set of principles, enables us to create unique products and services while keeping our clients' interests front and center.

Much of our success can be attributed to our insatiable intellectual curiosity. We seek to hire individuals who are passionate about our mission and values, and who always strive toward excellence.

We are proud to have a culture that promotes the highest ethical standards and investor-focused values, alongside a commitment to diversity and inclusivity and a highly collaborative work environment.

MIO (and related entities) is an independent, indirect, and wholly owned subsidiary of McKinsey & Company.

Position

MIO's Enterprise IT team seeks a Lead Technologist who will be responsible for managing MIO's AWS Cloud environment. This individual will work closely with business and technology stakeholders to design and implement DevOps and platform engineering best practices. This role is critical to enable a standard, secure, scalable, resilient, and efficient MIO application and infrastructure footprint within our cloud environment.

Primary responsibilities

The new hire must lead by example and work collaboratively to:
• Architect and manage cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure) with security, stability, and cost in mind
• Design and oversee implementation of CI/CD pipelines and automation strategies
• Establish infrastructure as code practices using CDK, GitLab, AWS developer tools
• Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to ensure platform stability
• Evaluate and select appropriate cloud technologies and develop best practices based on MIO's use cases

• Develop reference implementations and contribute through hands-on coding as needed
• Work with development teams to improve deployment processes and system reliability

• 25% Relationship Building: requirements gathering, brainstorming with end users
• 50% Heads Down Development

Attributes of the successful candidate

The successful candidate would exhibit the following behaviors, values, and attributes:
• Driven by ownership. People with an ownership mindset don't just complete tasks-they take full responsibility for outcomes. They step in to fix issues beyond their direct remit, foster collaboration, and push for excellence. They don't point fingers; they analyze failures and work to prevent them. True owners proactively develop their skills and drive impact, ensuring the whole team succeeds.
• Strives for excellence. The best people set a high bar instinctively-they never settle for anything less than excellence. They deliver impact without over-engineering, take initiative where others hesitate, and build high-caliber networks to stay ahead. They spot overlooked issues, reframe obstacles into opportunities, and follow through relentlessly. When others stop, they find another way. Their drive isn't about external validation but delivering exceptional results every time.
• Fueled by curiosity. The best people ask plenty of good questions-they challenge assumptions, seek deeper understanding, and explore beyond their domain. Their curiosity fuels continuous learning, helping them uncover insights others miss. They do not just grow themselves; they elevate those around them by sharing knowledge and pushing for better answers. For them, improvement is not a task-it's a mindset.
• Problem-solving excellence. Exceptional problem solvers define problems clearly, breaking down complex challenges into manageable components using structured methodologies like issue trees and the MECE principle. They prioritize issues, develop testable hypotheses, and create detailed work plans with timelines. Their structured approach ensures they address root causes, not just symptoms. They move swiftly, with a strong bias for action, yet thoughtfully, balancing efficiency with thoroughness to deliver impactful solutions.
• Client service orientation. MIO's ultimate clients are our investors; producing returns is our mission. Our IT team plays a critical role in enabling that mission by deeply understanding the needs of the investment team and other key functions. The best IT professionals do not just respond to requests-they put themselves in the business user's shoes and truly grasp what drives decisions. They anticipate needs, develop high-impact solutions, and apply critical judgment, ensuring their work adds value while avoiding unnecessary complexity or cost. A successful IT person works tirelessly to understand and cater to their business needs.

Desired background

• At least 10+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering roles
• Bachelor of science in computer science or other related discipline (although strong experience with a less directly related degree will be considered)
• Strong experience in AWS Cloud technologies
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipeline tools (GitLab pipelines, Jenkins etc.)
• Understanding of monitoring and observability tools (ELK, Dynatrace, Datadog etc.)
• Experience with microservices, serverless architectures, and containerization
• Proficiency in AWS cloud platform including infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines
• Formal problem-solving and/or analytical training/experience a plus, as is experience working with management consultants
• Good intuition for end-user requirements gathering; iterative and collaborative approach to design
• Strong client relationship management skills and excellent written/verbal communication skills to interact at all levels

Initial success criteria

The successful candidate will be expected to hit the ground running, balancing short-term tactical needs and longer-term in-flight projects needed by business teams. During the first six months, Lead Technologist will have learned enough about MIO's business, processes, and applications that they should have accomplished the following:

• Led ongoing efforts to improve reliability and observability of cloud infrastructure
• Played a key role in ongoing CI/CD pipelines migration project
• Made hands-on contributions to the progress of the project portfolio
• Forged solid relationships with key partners and developed a vocabulary that demonstrates a strong understanding of our products and services
• Begun to contribute to the broader MIO IT conversation, considering how our cloud architecture, systems architecture, and technology choices need to evolve to provide the best experience to our decision-makers

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:

The city

The job is in New York, NY. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How New York compares. Among the 120 largest places in New York, New York is #1 by population, #117 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #115 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #31 for remote work (#1 = most). Its county, Kings County, is #38 of 62 counties for average pay ($59,980).

The place in numbers

New York has 8,483,844 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 42.7% of the population of New York. It covers 300 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 28,236 people per square mile. The median age is 38.2, 4% younger than the state median (38.2 against 39.8).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,821 a month (rent plus utilities), 12% above the state median ($1,821 against $1,621). Over a year that is 27.2% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $777,600, which is 9.7 times the median household income ($80,483); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 32.8% of households own their home, 40% below the state average (32.8% against 54.4%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ metropolitan area has 9,492,000 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $61,430 a year, 20% above the national median ($61,430 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (1,109,360 jobs, median $55,080); healthcare support (843,730 jobs, median $40,100); sales and related (751,110 jobs, median $47,540). The area is most specialised in healthcare support (1.8 times) and legal (1.7 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($171,990) and legal ($150,990). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Kings County was 5.3%. 63.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Kings County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 21.6% drive alone, 44.0% use public transit, 9.2% walk, 16.9% work from home. 41.2% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 50% above the state average (41.2% against 27.4%).

People and education

41.6% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 4% above the state share (41.6% against 40.2%). 36.6% of residents were born outside the United States, 61% above the state share (36.6% against 22.8%). The poverty rate is 17.9%, 28% above the state rate (17.9% against 14.0%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 75°F (23.7°C), and the coolest is Jan at 34°F (1.1°C). About 1,313 mm (52 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (133 mm) and Feb the driest (95 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Hoboken (7 miles, rent 61% higher); Jersey City (7 miles, rent 10% higher); Union City (9 miles, rent 16% lower); Bayonne (9 miles, rent 8% lower). Rent differences are against New York; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
