Low Latency Trading & Observability SRE / Platform Engineer / Production Engineer sought to join an elite Multi-Strategy Quant Hedge Fund with $40BN+ in Assets Under Management.
Our client is one of the world’s top Hedge Funds who are especially renowned for innovation and investment in Data & Technology. They are now looking to recruit a Low Latency Trading & Observability SRE / Platform Engineer / Production Engineer into their core Production Engineering team, who are accountable for the reliability, operability and performance of the firm’s trading‑critical systems, in an environment where availability, correctness and latency directly impact outcomes.
The successful hire will own the reliability of business‑critical systems, from observability design through to incident resolution and systemic improvement; lead high‑severity incident management; and reduce toil with software engineering, primarily in Python but also with Golang, TypeScript, SQL and/or PowerShell. The role requires someone who can evidence outstanding problem‑solving and the ability to solve problems on their own initiative.
Requirements
- Debugging distributed systems: operating, improving and scaling complex systems in high‑availability environments.
- SRE fundamentals: SLO/SLI thinking, observability, incident leadership, and a bias for systemic platform fixes.
- Strong software engineering skills: high proficiency in at least one modern programming language (Python preferred).
- Modern open‑source observability knowledge: Experience within the ecosystem (e.g. OpenTelemetry, LGTM stack, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki).
- Unsiloed cross‑platform operator: Confidence taming complex technical landscapes spanning multiple languages, platforms and data systems i.e. Linux, Cloud, Kubernetes, Windows.
- Strong communication skills: able to explain technical issues and trade‑offs to non experts under time pressure.
- Relationship‑driven mindset with high accountability: builds trust, aligns stakeholders, and takes end‑to‑end ownership for results.
This is an outstanding opportunity for a talented Low Latency Trading & Observability SRE / Platform Engineer / Production Engineer to forge a long‑term career in one of the world’s top Quantitative Hedge Funds, operating in a demanding, highly‑visible, and state‑of‑the‑art technical environment.
