We operate a follow-the-sun model globally to monitor, triage, troubleshoot, and deploy changes to our production trading systems. In this role, you'll develop deep technical and operational expertise across all areas of our trading platform. You'll proactively monitor and troubleshoot systems, deploy changes while minimizing operational risk, and implement tools and processes that drive continuous improvement. Join a team that operates at the heart of Jump's trading infrastructure, where you'll have direct impact on system performance and reliability while working with cutting-edge technology at scale. This role offers unique exposure to all aspects of our trading platform and the opportunity to work directly with traders and technologists across the firm. As a CORE Weekend Warrior, you will work a 4-day workweek role, with one weekend day (Saturday or Sunday) as part of your schedule. During onboarding and training, you'll initially work a standard Monday-Friday week before transitioning to the 4-day schedule (Wednesday-Saturday or Sunday-Wednesday). Candidates must be comfortable with and prepared for this arrangement. Flexibility and reliability to support weekend trading are essential to success in this role. On weekends, you will work shifts that overlap with colleagues in the other time zone (APAC and US). Other teams have a similar setup, so you will join a virtual 'weekend warrior' team online at the weekend in your time zone. Even at weekends, Jump's systems are heavily automated so most of your time will be working on project work - but you will be available for immediate troubleshooting and support as required. What You'll Do: * Own the production environment, driving performance, reliability, and operability through continuous improvement * Proactively monitor and troubleshoot large-scale trading systems and exchange connectivity * Build and maintain our site reliability toolkit for the production trading system including configuration management, process management, deployment, monitoring, data collection, and analysis * Leverage firm-wide metrics to improve scalability and system performance * Partner with traders, Risk Management, and Operational Trading Support teams to communicate technology changes, coordinate deployments, and manage incidents * Collaborate across the technology organization to analyse and troubleshoot complex system problems * Work with Clearing team to reconcile trades and position breaks * Assess and manage operational risk when deploying changes to production * Define and document processes and procedures * Provide mentorship and cross-training to other technical operations engineers * Additional responsibilities as business needs evolve ## Related Videos - [Applying Agile Principles to Incident Management ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/101-applying-agile-principles-to-incident-management) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Creating a routing app with Google Maps API from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/831-creating-a-routing-app-with-google-maps-api-from-scratch) - [#90DaysOfDevOps - The DevOps Learning Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/548-90daysofdevops-the-devops-learning-journey) - [SRE Methods In an Agency Environment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/348-sre-methods-in-an-agency-environment) ## Related Articles - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [How to Find Tech Jobs in Amsterdam](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/279-how-to-find-tech-jobs-in-amsterdam)
