About the Role

The employer provides a state-of-the-art trading and data ecosystem that processes tens of billions in cumulative volume. In this pivotal role, the successful candidate will spearhead the modernization and scalability of a high-performance infrastructure layer, focusing on migrating systems to a robust, ultra-low-latency infrastructure stack built entirely on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles. The primary objective is to build an advanced, reliable, and secure self-service infrastructure platform that empowers developers to manage deployments, monitoring, and provisioning independently. This position requires an engineering mindset rooted in institutional financial systems, elite operational excellence, and high-velocity problem-solving.

Responsibilities

Drive the comprehensive migration of applications and core services from legacy systems to a highly resilient, modern infrastructure stack.
Mature and scale internal testing and validation tools, including local stack orchestration frameworks, allowing developers to execute applications flexibly and coordinate multiple automated agents simultaneously.
Collaborate closely with application engineering teams to optimize critical-path applications, identifying and resolving software and infrastructure bottlenecks to minimize latency and maximize financial edge.
Maintain, deploy, and manage 100% of the production environment utilizing IaC methodologies, ensuring absolute consistency, visibility, and automation across all layers.
Actively identify, mitigate, and minimize security attack vectors; coordinate contained chaos-engineering tests and system stress-tests using automated testing suites and advanced technical tools to guarantee maximum uptime.

Requirements

Strong professional background within traditional trading firms, market makers, proprietary trading shops, or institutional financial services.
Expert-level proficiency with Kubernetes, including deployment best practices, cluster management, networking, and access control.
Hands-on expertise with ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, and Docker is required.
Proven experience as an IaC evangelist utilizing Terraform to manage complex multi-environment architectures.
Strong proficiency in writing, optimizing, and maintaining backend systems and critical-path microservices using Golang.
Production experience managing high-throughput databases such as Postgres and Clickhouse.
Comprehensive familiarity with Prometheus and Grafana for full-stack observability, alerting, and metrics collection.
A proactive approach to zero-trust architecture, security configuration, and continuous system hardening.
High proficiency in leveraging advanced AI and development tools effectively—possessing the technical depth to rigorously validate outputs, establish guardrails, and avoid passive code generation.
Ability to independently audit the existing stack, identify operational gaps, prioritize tasks based on commercial value, and execute solutions.
Strong alignment with a "disagree and commit" philosophy; maintaining a team-first mindset that prioritizes collective execution and continuous cross-functional learning alongside quantitative researchers and operations teams.
