Description

You'll work closely with technologists, traders, and quants to support and enhance a highly automated trading environment. The role is hands‑on with Linux/Unix, focusing on building tools that improve stability, performance, and reliability across distributed systems.

You'll also help develop and maintain Linux-based build and deployment tooling, while gaining exposure to market microstructure and seeing firsthand how system design and operational risk affect trading.

In this role, you will:

• Design and develop Python and Bash scripts to monitor the health, performance, and dependencies of a mission-critical production environment
• Monitor and support a highly distributed Linux-based trading system
• Partner with the Platform Engineering team on server imaging, testing, deployment, and system configuration
• Act as a key liaison between the trading desk and network, security, market data, and platform teams on production issues and new system setups
• Provide multi-level production support for traders, strategists, and quantitative researchers
• Help improve system reliability, automation, and operational efficiency across the trading stack

What we're looking for

• Strong, hands-on experience with Linux/Unix systems (essential) - this role is deeply OS-focused
• Proficiency in scripting languages, particularly Python and Bash, required
• Experience supporting production or mission-critical systems in a fast-paced environment
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work closely with traders, quants, and engineers
• Ability to troubleshoot complex system-level issues under pressure
• Financial services or trading environment experience preferred, but not required
• Good understanding of financial instruments and markets is a plus
• Excellent quantitative and problem-solving skills strongly preferred
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline
