Save job

We are hiring a Site Reliability Engineer to support and evolve a highly automated, latency‑sensitive trading platform. You’ll work closely with engineering, trading, and quantitative teams to ensure the stability, performance, and reliability of mission‑critical systems. This is a hands‑on, Linux‑focused role with real ownership of production, focused on tooling, automation, and operational excellence in a fast‑paced environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Build and maintain Python and Bash tooling to monitor system health, performance, and dependencies across a distributed trading stack
  • Operate and support a large‑scale Linux/Unix production environment with high uptime and performance requirements
  • Diagnose and resolve complex system‑level issues under time pressure
  • Partner closely with traders, quantitative researchers, and engineers to support live trading and new system rollouts
  • Work alongside platform engineering teams on server builds, imaging, configuration, testing, and deployments
  • Act as a liaison across infrastructure, network, security, and market‑data teams during production incidents
  • Drive improvements in automation, reliability, and operational efficiency across the trading platform

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong hands‑on Linux/Unix experience — this role is deeply OS‑ and systems‑focused
  • Proficiency in Python and Bash scripting
  • Experience supporting production or mission‑critical systems in a demanding, fast‑paced environment
  • Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to stay calm and effective during high‑impact incidents
  • Excellent communication skills and comfort working directly with front‑office stakeholders
  • Solid problem‑solving ability and quantitative mindset
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline

Why Join

You’ll be joining a technology‑driven trading environment where engineering quality, automation, and operational excellence directly impact performance. This is an opportunity to gain deep exposure to real‑world trading systems, work closely with expert traders and researchers, and take ownership of systems that truly matter.
