About the role

  • But this role is about more than keeping the lights on.
  • You will be expected to respond to production issues outside standard hours.
  • What we're looking for is someone who leans into that responsibility while consistently working to reduce the frequency and manual burden of those moments through better tooling and automation.

Responsibilities

  • Perform QA testing for new functionality ahead of release
  • Collaborate with development teams to escalate and resolve complex technical problems
  • Build and maintain relationships with business stakeholders across investment and middle office teams
  • Develop and maintain Grafana dashboards and alerting infrastructure to shift the team from reactive troubleshooting to proactive detection
  • Maintain clear, high-quality documentation of systems, workflows, and runbooks
  • Build automated solutions to handle recurring operational checks, reducing manual intervention and improving system observability
  • We're investing heavily in AI-assisted operations, infrastructure observability, and automating away the manual checks and reactive firefighting that define legacy support functions.

Nice to have

  • 3-5 years of experience in a production or application support function, ideally within financial services or a trading environment

Skills

  • Bachelor's degree in an IT related discipline
  • Basic Python skills
  • Working knowledge of FIX protocol, Linux, and SQL Server
  • Experience with observability or monitoring tools (Grafana, or similar)
  • Familiarity with trading or execution systems (EMSX, Flextrade, or similar EMS)
  • Exposure to market data platforms, Git, and Jira
  • Curiosity about AI/LLM tooling and how it can be applied in an operational context
