Position: Senior Systems Engineer (Python/Kubernetes)

We’re looking for a hands‑on, entrepreneurial Senior Systems Engineer to join our Strategy Development team. This role sits at the intersection of infrastructure, reliability, and trading performance - ensuring the systems behind our strategies are resilient, fast, and scalable. You’ll own the stability of our production environment, build automation that reduces operational overhead, and play a critical role in keeping our trading systems running at peak performance.

This role is ideal for someone with a strong Dev Ops, SRE or production engineering background who thrives in high‑stakes environments and wants to work close to real‑time systems where reliability and speed are paramount.

What You’ll Do
  • Own production reliability:
    Monitor, maintain, and improve the availability and performance of trading systems in real time
  • Respond to incidents:
    Troubleshoot issues quickly, lead root cause analysis, and implement preventative fixes
  • Automate relentlessly:
    Build tools and workflows that eliminate manual intervention and improve system resilience
  • Scale infrastructure:
    Design and optimize systems to handle increasing throughput with minimal latency
  • Partner across teams:
    Work closely with traders, quants, and engineers to ensure systems meet performance and reliability needs
  • Improve observability:
    Enhance monitoring, alerting, and logging to provide clear visibility into system health
What You Bring
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
  • 3+ years of experience in site reliability engineering, systems engineering, or production operations
  • Strong experience with Python and Bash for scripting and automation
  • Deep understanding of Linux systems and containerized environments (Kubernetes preferred)
  • Experience with monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana)
  • Familiarity with distributed systems, messaging (Kafka), and databases (SQL/No

    SQL)
  • Ability to debug complex issues in high‑pressure, real‑time environments
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
Why You’ll Love It

You’ll sit at the core of a high‑performance trading environment where uptime, speed, and precision are critical. Your work will directly impact system stability and trading outcomes, and you’ll have the autonomy to build, automate, and improve systems alongside a team of exceptional engineers and traders in a fast‑paced, high‑impact setting.
