Job Summary

In this role, you will develop high-performance, reliable infrastructure for mission-critical trading systems in cloud and physical environments, optimizing network paths and improving observability and security standards.

Job Technologies

Your role in the team

  • Join us to build and operate the infrastructure foundation behind mission-critical, real-time trading systems with demanding reliability and tail-latency requirements.
  • This is primarily a platform and infrastructure role. You will work on the runtime and operational environment behind performance-sensitive systems across cloud and physical infrastructure.
  • The scope includes AWS, Linux hosts, networking, containerized runtimes, observability, deployment safety, and, where needed, dedicated hardware.
  • In this role you will:
  • Own infrastructure end to end across cloud and physical environments, including AWS, Linux hosts, networking, containers, and runtime operations.
  • Design and improve infrastructure for performance-sensitive services, supported by repeatable production-like benchmarks covering throughput, burst behaviour, and p50, p95, p99, and p99.9 latency.
  • Design, operate, and troubleshoot critical network paths across VPCs, routing, security groups, load balancers, DNS, private connectivity, and service-to-service communication.
  • Build and improve infrastructure as code, host lifecycle management, and deployment workflows across development, staging, and production.
  • Improve reliability, failover, recovery, and operational safety across Linux-based runtimes, containers, serverless workloads, event-driven flows, and scheduled processing.
  • Harden platform capabilities around IAM, KMS, secrets, service connectivity, and secure operational access.
  • Raise the standard of observability through dashboards, alerting, tracing, health checks, readiness checks, and incident tooling.
  • Partner with software engineers on reusable infrastructure patterns, production readiness, CI/CD, and incident response.

  • Starke Erfahrung mit Terraform und dem Management des Infrastruktur-Lebenszyklus.
  • Experience operating performance-sensitive workloads where predictability and tail-latency matter, not only average throughput.
  • Experience with infrastructure patterns for stateful services, active/standby failover, recovery, deployment safety, and controlled cutovers.
