About The Role

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
A university degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a comparable practical background
Experience with dedicated host strategies, low-latency networking, CPU pinning, host-level isolation techniques
Strong experience owning production infrastructure for distributed or real-time systems
Strong hands-on experience with AWS, especially EC2, VPC networking, IAM, KMS, S3, SQS, SNS, and related operational tooling
Strong hands-on networking experience, including routing, DNS, load balancers, network security, service connectivity, and debugging complex production traffic paths
Strong experience with Terraform and infrastructure lifecycle management
Deep knowledge of Linux systems, containers, runtime debugging, and host-level performance tuning
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
Strong analytical thinking, pragmatic decision-making, and clear communication across engineering and operational stakeholders
Nice to have:
Experience supporting Rust-based service environments
Experience in regulated, security-sensitive, or high-reliability environments
