About the role

View original

We’re looking for a Systems Engineer to join our globally distributed Trading Infrastructure team. This is an end-to-end role: you will work on full-stack infrastructure tasks — from new site/provider setups and environment bring-up to validation testing, troubleshooting, and performance bottleneck analysis. You will collaborate closely with vendors, network and hardware engineers and take ownership of delivering reliable production-ready setups

What You’ll be doing

  • • Deliver end-to-end infrastructure setups across regions/colocations: bring-up, validation, and go-live readiness

  • • Own the systems side of the stack: Linux servers, OS baseline, automation, configuration, and performance tuning

  • • Run and improve testing/validation: connectivity checks, load/performance tests, failure testing, and readiness checklists

  • • Participate in investigation of complex issues and bottlenecks across layers (OS/kernel/drivers/dependencies) and drive fixes with network/hardware peers and 3rd party vendors

  • • Build repeatable automation and rollout playbooks (Terraform/Ansible, scripting, standards)

  • • Improve observability: metrics/logs, dashboards, alert tuning, and latency/performance baselines

  • • Strengthen operations: runbooks, incident reviews (RCA), change hygiene, and documentation

  • • Participate in scheduled on-call rotations to support trading infrastructure and incident response.

What we look for in you

  • • Hands-on production experience with Linux and systems troubleshooting

  • • Ability to debug across layers and coordinate effectively with network/hardware engineers

  • • Solid networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, routing basics, MTU, packet loss/jitter symptoms)

  • • Automation mindset: bash/Python; Terraform/Ansible experience is a plus

  • • Strong written and verbal communication (clear status updates and documentation)

  • • Passion for technology and continuous learning

  • Nice-to-Have:

  • • Low-latency / performance tuning experience (CPU/IRQ affinity, NIC tuning, etc.). Colocation / provider coordination experience (setups, acceptance, troubleshooting)

  • • Time synchronization basics (NTP/PTP) and practical impact on production systems

  • • Interest or experience in trading / exchange / broker connectivity

  • Why should you join our team?

  • • Exciting challenges with ample opportunities for personal and professional growth

  • • A welcoming international team of highly qualified professionals

  • • Cutting-edge hardware and technology

  • • Work remotely from anywhere in the world

  • • Access any of our global offices anytime

  • • Flexible schedule

  • • 40 paid days off

  • • Competitive salary
