Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Sparkland Trading Full time

Crypto's here to stay. That's one thing we're sure of. But what its future looks like—that's something we need you to create.

We're looking for the brightest and the best. And because we work pretty much everywhere across the Central European timezone, we aren't about to let borders stand in our way.

The role

As a Trading Operations Engineer at Sparkland's Dubai office, you'll be at the core of our high-frequency trading systems, ensuring seamless operation and optimizing low-latency performance. You'll work closely with traders and developers to automate workflows and tackle complex challenges. This role offers the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge technology, grow professionally, and thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where collaboration and problem-solving under pressure are key. The role requires working in shifts (16-hour coverage, 7 days a week) and participating in an on-call rotation to ensure the continuous operation of our trading infrastructure.

Responsibilities
  1. Monitor and manage the real-time operation of high-frequency trading systems.
  2. Troubleshoot, resolve and escalate system issues as needed to maintain high availability.
  3. Analyze system performance metrics (e.g., latency) using tools like Grafana, Prometheus, or equivalent solutions.
  4. Collaborate with software engineers, traders, and infrastructure teams to improve system reliability and efficiency.
  5. Automate processes and deployments to enhance operational workflows.
  6. Manage configurations using tools like Ansible and support CI/CD pipelines.
  7. Contribute to system documentation and provide feedback on process improvements.
  8. Participate in an on-call rotation to handle critical incidents outside regular hours.
  9. Show initiative in identifying areas for improvement and implementing solutions.
Required Skills & Experience
  1. Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  2. 3–5 years of IT or software engineering experience.
  3. Strong knowledge of Python scripting for automation and tooling.
  4. Proficiency with Linux systems, including shell scripting and networking.
  5. Strong teamwork and communication skills, including clear and concise writing.
  6. Ability to think critically, make decisions under pressure, and escalate when necessary.
  7. Willingness to work shifts and adapt to the dynamic demands of HFT operations.
Bonus Points
  1. Experience in high-frequency trading or other latency-sensitive distributed systems.
  2. Familiarity with incident management frameworks and best practices.
What we offerFlexible hours

Although we work more or less in a Central European timezone, flexible hours are still part of the package. Because only you know when, and where, you're most productive.

Relocation packages

Want to work in the Dubai office? We'll help you, and those closest to you, make the move, get set up, and get settled.

Annual workations

Twice a year, we pack our bags and head off on a week-long work retreat so we can hang out in real life.
