• Lead their adoption in production

The ideal candidate can bridge the gap between business requirements for low latency and high throughput and the realities of existing infrastructure - translating "we need to be faster" into an actionable technical roadmap.

• Hands-on experience with the Prometheus/Grafana stack
• Solid scripting in Bash and Python; Golang is a strong plus
• Strong grasp of CI/CD pipelines
• Understanding of DevSecOps principles

Requirements

• Latency Distribution: P99/P99.9 across the tick-to-trade path
• Jitter: Variance between min/max latency
• Throughput: Messages per second under exchange burst scenarios
• System Reliability: Continuous monitoring of uptime

Benefits

• Modern equipment
• Comfortable working conditions
• Inspiring environment to help you thrive
• 24 calendar days of paid leave
• Additional days off for national holidays

Responsibilities

• Design, deploy, and continuously optimize infrastructure for latency-sensitive trading systems
• Design, implement, and maintain complex low-latency network solutions
• Go deep on the full hardware and OS stack
• Automate provisioning and configuration of high-performance environments
• Systematically profile and debug latency hotspots
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that include automated latency regression testing
• Design and operate comprehensive latency monitoring and alerting systems
• Research, evaluate, and manage optimal server placements
• Design systems that maintain stability and reliability under peak load
• Work alongside algo developers, quant teams, and network engineers
