Job Description

 

THE ROLE

Our trading platform runs on high-performance servers distributed across datacenters and offices throughout the world- and these systems don't stop running once the markets close. We are looking for engineers who will blend hands-on technical execution with high-stakes risk management, ensuring the health and stability of our infrastructure during non-standard business hours. You'll be the primary point of accountability for deferred maintenance and triage that cannot be executed during peak weekday trading. You'll also serve as the front line for any production issues that surface in 24/7 markets, with escalations as needed. This is an ideal role for independent thinkers who are looking for more ownership and can manage real operational risk alongside a leaner (and growing) weekend team.

Schedule: Full-time, flexibility for 5 standard days (Thurs-Mon) or 4 longer days (Thurs-Sun)

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Analyze, diagnose, and resolve Linux based server issues.
  • Create, test, deploy, and maintain packages, batch files, and scripts for the OS environment.
  • Identify opportunities for optimization to reduce latency and increase efficiency.
  • Manage move, add, and change requests and configuration as needed.
