## Description

This is a unique hybrid role combining hands-on operational support with infrastructure architecture and tech projects. You won't be siloed into one boring task; you will help maintain uptime for high-frequency trading desks, investigate security vulnerabilities, and work directly on automating workflows., Because trading never stops, the IT department covers shifts between 06:30 and 19:00, Monday to Friday. You will work a rotating shift pattern within these hours.
