• Build automation and operational tooling using Python, Go or Bash.
• Monitor, troubleshoot and improve system performance, reliability and scalability across cloud and Linux environments.
• Participate in a rotational on-call schedule supporting a global 24/7 environment.
• Collaborate directly with traders, researchers and developers to solve complex infrastructure challenges.
• Drive platform engineering initiatives that improve developer experience and reduce manual support requests.
• Leverage AI tools as part of daily engineering workflows and problem-solving.

• Ability to take ownership of problems from identification through to resolution.
• Strong communication skills and ability to thrive in a highly autonomous remote environment.
• Experience within crypto, trading, fintech, market-making or other high-availability environments is highly desirable.

Why Join?

• Work alongside some exceptionally strong infrastructure and platform engineers.
• High autonomy with direct ownership of impactful projects.
• Fully remote environment with a strong culture of trust and flexibility.
• Flat organisational structure with direct access to leadership and technical decision-makers.
• Solve challenging problems at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, automation and trading technology.
