Job Description

A senior-level opening for someone who wants ownership over the systems underpinning a fast-moving trading environment. You'll sit between engineering, infrastructure, and the trading desk; building the automation and tooling that keep critical platforms fast, stable, and secure.

  1. Automation & tooling: Python-driven automation across trading/data platforms, plus Bash for system-level administration and monitoring.
  2. Reliability & performance: troubleshooting latency and uptime issues in production, running post-incident reviews, and closing the loop with long-term fixes.
  3. Infrastructure leadership: driving upgrades, patching, and security/compliance alignment across a hybrid on-prem/cloud footprint.
  4. Cross-functional delivery: working directly with developers, traders, and DevOps to keep data flowing cleanly between internal and external systems.
