Job description

We are hiring a hands-on Production Support Engineer to support trading and quant platforms in a fast-paced front office environment.

What you’ll do:

  • Provide low-level technical support across Linux-based trading systems
  • Troubleshoot live production issues (logs, processes, performance, connectivity)
  • Write scripts (Bash/Python) to automate monitoring and operational tasks
  • Work closely with trading, quant and dev teams on critical incidents

Requirements

  • Experience scripting in Bash and/or Python
  • Solid SQL (aggregations, performance troubleshooting)
  • Background in trading systems (Futures, ION, FIS, TT highly desirable)
  • Experience with monitoring tools (Geneos/ITRS a plus)

This is a technical, hands-on role-ideal for engineers who enjoy diagnosing real production issues, not just handling tickets.
