2. Monitor and manage the real-time operation of high-frequency trading systems.
3. Troubleshoot, resolve, and escalate system issues as needed to maintain high availability.
4. Analyze system performance metrics (e.g., latency) using tools like Grafana, Prometheus, or equivalent solutions.
5. Collaborate with software engineers, traders, and infrastructure teams to improve system reliability and efficiency.
6. Automate processes and manage deployments with A/B testing to enhance operational workflows.
7. Manage configurations using tools like Ansible and support CI/CD pipelines.
8. Contribute to system documentation and provide feedback on process improvements.
9. Participate in an on-call rotation to handle critical incidents outside regular hours.
10. Show initiative in identifying areas for improvement and implementing solutions.

Required Skills & Experience

years of IT or software engineering experience.
3. Experience in high-frequency trading or other latency-sensitive distributed systems.
4. Strong knowledge of Python scripting for automation and tooling.
5. Proficiency with Linux systems, including shell scripting and networking tools.
6. Experience with monitoring tools like Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, ElasticSearch, or ClickHouse.
7. Experience with AWS cloud services.
8. Experience with configuration management tools like Ansible and CI/CD systems.

Bonus Points

1. Familiarity with incident management frameworks and best practices.
2. Exposure to containerization and orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
3. Knowledge of distributed databases (e.g., ClickHouse).

What we offer

1. Flexible 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
