  • Designing and maintaining continuous delivery pipelines for our  trading platform components. 
  • Building and maintaining infrastructure monitoring and alerting systems to help us quickly diagnose and resolve issues.
  • Collaborating with co-workers on designing applications and platform components to meet automation requirements.
  • Ensuring that software and infrastructure components are up-to-date and free of any security vulnerabilities
  • Systematising and then documenting new and existing processes to help us tame our ever changing IT operations
  • Working on automated provisioning of new servers and updating existing ones
  • Working as part of an in-office team to collaborate directly with our experienced traders and technologists on brainstorming and implementing creative solutions to a wide range of problems.
