Are you passionate about building and maintaining reliable, scalable, and highly performant software systems? Do you enjoy working in an energetic and adaptable environment where every millisecond counts? Do you have a knack for solving complex problems with code and automation? If you answered yes to these questions, then you might be the perfect candidate for our Reliability and Production Engineering (RPE) team.

As an RPE team member, you will be responsible for ensuring the availability, performance, and capacity of our trading, data analytics, settlement, and risk systems. You will work closely with our development and business teams to design, implement, and monitor solutions that automate IT operational tasks and enable continuous delivery of new features. You will also troubleshoot and resolve incidents and emergencies using data-driven analysis and best practices.

• Ability to work under pressure to tight deadlines; during critical processing times, turnaround on critical job abends is expected to be a maximum of 30 minutes.
• Familiarity with the full incident lifecycle: identification, escalation, communication to both technical and business users, and post‑incident follow‑ups; familiarity with a tool like Service Now is a plus.
