The Tech

• Experience supporting mission-critical, high-performance trading systems
• Strong Kubernetes experience (deployment, troubleshooting, optimization)
• Proficiency with Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring and observability
• Solid Python skills for automation and tooling
• Hands-on experience with Ansible and Terraform/Terragrunt
• Strong Linux systems knowledge
• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and software delivery best practices
• Familiarity with TLS and network protocols (including multicast and WebSockets)

• You take ownership - problems don't sit idle on your watch
• You communicate clearly, both in writing and conversation, especially across distributed teams
• You stay composed under pressure and manage competing priorities effectively
• You can accommodate occasional off-hours calls and escalations

The annual base salary range for this position is $140,000 to $180,000 depending on the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and relevant skill set. The position is also eligible for an annual discretionary bonus.
