Working alongside technical leadership, you'll help maintain 99.95% uptime and high performance across the trading platform.
In this role you will:
  • Serve as the technical lead for the SRE function, setting technical direction and mentoring engineers across reliability initiatives

  • 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%).

Annual paid time off allowance accrues at a rate of 23 days per year plus seven paid holidays.
Location:
This role is based in Chicago, IL. We are not open to remote candidates for this role
Hybrid:
For Chicago-based employees, we follow a hybrid work schedule: In-office Tuesday through Thursday, with remote work on Mondays and Fridays. In addition to these weekly remote days, we offer:
  • 20 additional flex remote days annually
  • 5 Company Wide Office-Optional weeks tied to major holidays
