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.

- 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
