Join our Platform Engineering team, where you'll ensure the availability, performance, and scalability of the trading systems that power NinjaTrader.

In this role you will:

  • Serve as the technical lead for the SRE function, setting technical direction and mentoring engineers across reliability initiatives
  • Analyze, troubleshoot, and remediate production issues with a systematic problem-solving approach to keep revenue-generating systems running
  • Participate in a weekly 12x7 on-call rotation, including weekend deployments and checkouts before markets open on Sundays
  • Perform initial root cause analysis and remediation of production incidents
  • Build tools that automate repetitive tasks, deployments, and incident responses with the goal of minimal human involvement
  • Design reliable monitoring and alerting systems with Product and QA teams, establishing and tracking SLIs/SLOs across web, mobile, desktop, and trading platforms
  • Leverage Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform to automate provisioning, scaling, and management across all platforms
  • Collaborate with Product Engineering, Operations, and other cross-functional teams to deliver features on time while meeting scalability, security, and performance requirements
  • Implement security and compliance best practices (e.g., SOC 2, PCI DSS) throughout the software delivery lifecycle for web, mobile, and desktop deployments

What you'll need:

  • 8+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Platform Engineering roles
  • Expertise with Kubernetes, Docker, and container orchestration
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions or equivalent)
  • Proficiency in programming languages (e.g., Python, Bash, or Go) and automation tools such as Ansible, Terraform, or Helm
  • Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure, including in-depth knowledge of networking, security, and identity management in cloud environments
  • Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar
  • Strong collaboration, communication, and leadership skills, with the ability to influence technical decisions across teams and mentor junior engineers

Bonus points for:

  • Trading industry experience
  • Contributions to open-source projects

Compensation:

The salary range for this role will be $160,000.00 - $210,000.00 USD. In addition, this position will also receive an annual target bonus of 12%. Bonus pay at NinjaTrader is based on individual performance (50%) as well as company/team performance (50%).
