# Production Engineer - Trading Systems

- **Company:** Orbis Group
- **Location:** Greater London, UK
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Java (Programming Language), Microsoft Windows, Algorithmic Trading, C++ (Programming Language), Databases, Software Debugging, Linux, Python (Programming Language), Windows PowerShell, SQL Databases, Scripting, Information Technology
- **Published:** September 8, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.collegerecruiter.com/job/2820330171-production-engineer-trading-systems

## About the Role

* A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a similarly technical discipline, or equivalent hands-on depth that shows the same analytical grounding
 * Comfortable across Windows and Linux at a genuine troubleshooting level
 * SQL fluency and scripting ability (Python, PowerShell, or similar) that you've used to debug a live problem, not only to build a report or automate a task
 * Ability to read object-oriented code (C++, Java, or similar) and reason about what it's doing, even if you don't write it daily
 * A calm head under pressure and the instinct to communicate while you're still mid-investigation, not after
 * Willingness to work a flexible schedule, including early starts, evenings, and a weekend maintenance rotation

## Description

We're hiring a Senior Front Office Production Engineer to join the technical operations team behind a leading global electronic trading platform in fixed income and derivatives - supporting a live, real-time trading ecosystem spanning 40+ markets, three time zones, and thousands of institutional clients.

This isn't ticket-queue support, and it isn't pure FIX connectivity or monitoring work either. You'll be the person who traces a problem all the way down through the application, into the OS, into the database, into the network, until you actually know what broke and why, often before a developer even gets pulled in. You'll look at a wall of alerts, work out what actually matters in the next 90 seconds, and make the right call while explaining it clearly to the people relying on you.
