Job description

  • Operate and evolve globally distributed trading systems with extreme uptime and latency requirements
  • Collaborate with developers and traders to optimise infrastructure, troubleshoot issues, and deploy production-ready tooling
  • Write automation and internal tools for deployment, monitoring, and incident response
  • Tune performance across OS, network, and cloud layers - this role is hands-on and detail-oriented
  • Improve system resilience, observability, and security in a high-stakes production environment

Requirements

This isn't just another DevOps job - they're looking for a tinkerer. Someone who enjoys getting deep into the internals of systems, thrives on debugging tough problems, and constantly looks for ways to make machines run faster, leaner, and more securely., * Fluent in Linux - not just using it, but understanding how it works under the hood

  • Advanced terminal skills - manipulating systems efficiently without relying on abstraction
  • Experience working on low-latency, high-throughput infrastructure, ideally in trading or similar real-time environments
  • Hands-on with Docker (Kubernetes is a plus), infrastructure-as-code, and CI / CD tooling
  • Strong scripting and automation experience in Python and Bash
  • Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, eBPF)
  • Cloud infrastructure experience (AWS / GCP / Azure), with attention to IAM and software supply chain security
  • Curious, persistent, and comfortable experimenting at the lowest levels of the stack
