    Job description

    What you'll do:

    NinjaTrader is looking for an L1 Operational Resilience Specialist to provide front-line operational support to our FCM Core team across Account Acquisition, Compliance/AML, and Treasury functions. This role sits at the intersection of engineering and operations - you'll keep critical financial processes running smoothly while working closely with Engineering, Product, QA, and cross-functional partners to drive continuous improvements in reliability and observability.

    In this role you will:

    • Manage incident response by acknowledging and triaging incoming events, applying runbooks to restore service quickly and consistently
    • Design and implement metrics and monitors across our distributed application, collaborating with the SRE team to integrate into our observability framework
    • Develop and continuously improve runbooks for FCM processes, ensuring clear, repeatable procedures for operational events
    • Understand and maintain the DAG controlling all FCM processes and their dependencies, ensuring accurate sequencing and reliable execution
    • Implement robust monitoring and logging using industry-standard observability tooling such as OpenTelemetry
    • Update and maintain technical documentation describing the critical path processing for FCM; establish SLA, SLO, and SLI targets for each process
    • Manage event platform systems such as Kafka and IBM MQ to ensure reliable data connectivity with external partners
    • Surface operational feedback to engineering teams to drive improvements in the resiliency and robustness of business processes
    • Leverage AI tooling to proactively identify gaps in monitoring, analysis, documentation, and other operational domains

    What you'll need:

    • BS or MS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field - or equivalent practical experience
    • 2+ years of experience working with distributed systems in a production environment
    • Comfort leveraging AI tooling to improve workflows and surface operational insights
    • Strong understanding of security best practices for backend services
    • Excellent verbal communication skills with a collaborative, team-first approach

    Bonus Points for:

    • Familiarity with finance back office systems and trading concepts
    • Background in multi-tenant SaaS platform architectures
    • Experience working in a regulated fintech, trading, or brokerage environment

    Compensation:

    The salary range for this role will be $100,000.00 - $150,000.00 USD. In addition, this position will also receive an annual target bonus of 10%. Bonus pay at NinjaTrader is based on individual performance (50%) as well as company/team performance (50%).

    Salary and bonus earnings are only two components of the total compensation package offered by NinjaTrader. NinjaTrader offers a 401(k) plan through ADP under which the company will match up to 3.5% of employee contributions. Annual paid time off allowance accrues at a rate of 18 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
