I’m working on a high-impact Senior Platform Engineering role within a top-tier global trading firm. This is a chance to operate at the core of a mission‑critical production environment, where infrastructure performance directly impacts trading outcomes.
This is a deep technical role focused on building and scaling the platforms that power a globally distributed, high-performance trading ecosystem.
What you’ll be doing
- Designing and evolving core platform infrastructure supporting production trading systems
- Building internal tooling across observability, build systems, and infrastructure automation
- Managing and optimising Linux-based environments across global colocations
- Operating and scaling on‑prem Kubernetes clusters and containerised workloads
- Partnering closely with engineering teams to debug complex, real‑time production issues
- Driving improvements in system reliability, performance, and scalability across distributed systems
- Observability stacks
- Distributed systems at scale
What they’re looking for
- Strong background in platform engineering, SRE, or production engineering
- Deep understanding of Linux systems, networking, and debugging at scale
- Experience building and operating complex distributed systems
- Comfortable owning problems end‑to‑end — from diagnosis through to resolution
- A mindset geared towards root cause analysis and continuous improvement
Why this role stands out
- You’ll be working on infrastructure that is directly tied to trading performance
- Highly technical, engineering‑led environment — minimal bureaucracy
- Significant ownership and autonomy from day one
- Comp structure that genuinely rewards impact and performance
This is well suited to engineers coming from high‑scale tech, cloud infrastructure, or low‑latency environments who want to step into a top‑tier trading setup.
