A fast-paced, technology-driven trading firm based in London are looking for a talented Trade Ops/SRE to join the team and help ensure the smooth running of the trading systems in real-time, while also contributing to infrastructure and process improvements.
The Role:
As a Trade Ops / SRE, you’ll sit at the intersection of technology and trading operations, providing real-time support for the trading platforms and helping to build robust, scalable systems. You'll work closely with traders, developers, and infrastructure teams, taking ownership of monitoring, incident response, and reliability engineering.
Responsibilities:
* Provide support for live trading systems, ensuring minimal downtime and rapid incident resolution.
* Monitor system health, latency, and performance using custom and third-party tools.
* Investigate and troubleshoot issues across infrastructure, software, and market connectivity.
* Automate repetitive tasks and build tooling to improve system reliability and deployment processes.
* Collaborate with developers to improve deployment pipelines and system observability.
* Participate in an on-call rotation and handle out-of-hours incidents as needed.
What We’re Looking For:
* 1–6 years of experience in a Trade Ops, SRE, or DevOps role — ideally within a trading, financial services, or similarly high-performance environment.
* Solid Linux skills and experience working in a low-latency, distributed systems environment.
* Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash, or similar) with an automation-first mindset.
* Experience with monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog) and incident response.
* Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code (e.g., Ansible, Terraform) is a plus.
* A keen eye for detail, proactive mindset, and ability to perform under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
