The Site Reliability Engineer will be responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of production trading systems and enhancing automation to support trading, testing, and research environments.
Responsibilities:
• Work with software engineers and traders to provide 24/7 first line support of our trading, testing, and research environment.
• Proactively monitor and identify issues before they impact trading. Define and automate observability around application SLAs and build anomaly detectors that surface problems early.
• Oversee and maintain our test trading environment. Keep the environment running smoothly and pursue automation of routine interventions required to maintain a stable test platform for development.
• Standardize CI/CD and operational processes across development teams to reduce friction and speed up delivery. Improve deployment scripts and release verification processes.

• 3-10+ years of hands-on software development or SRE Experience
• Demonstrated experience with observability tools – logging, metrics and tracing
• Hands on development experience in scripting languages like Bash, Python, or Ruby
• An automation-first approach to problem solving – you understand that manual processes don’t scale, and your instinct is to eliminate them before they become a bottleneck.
• Demonstrated knowledge of network communications including comprehensive understanding of the Linux TCP-IP stack, use of multicast networking, and network protocol interactions.
• Solid diagnostic capabilities from the application layer through the network and low-level hardware.
• Experience with network capture and time synchronization.
• High level of ownership and accountability, reliability, and strong follow through.
• Positive AI mentality and experience with AI agents to accelerate SRE tasks.
