TL;DR · Staff Infrastructure Engineer, Trading

As a Staff Infrastructure Engineer, Trading, you will join the Exchange team to own the infrastructure, deployment, and operational tooling for a unified trading platform. You will manage latency-sensitive, multi-node trading environments across both cloud and on-prem or colocated venues while driving reliability, developer velocity, and incident response for systems operating 24/7. Your daily work involves setting operational standards through automation, reducing single-point-of-failure risks, and partnering with cross-functional teams to translate platform needs into a roadmap. The role requires deep proficiency in orchestration tooling, containerized and baremetal deployments, observability, and logging tools. You must possess strong Linux performance and networking fundamentals within latency-critical environments. This position specifically addresses the technical challenges of maintaining high-performance infrastructure within regulated financial environments where low-latency execution is critical for institutional trading systems.

What you'll do

  • Own infrastructure, deployment, and operational tooling for latency-sensitive trading environments across cloud and on-prem venues.
  • Drive reliability and developer velocity by managing observability, deploy safety, and incident response for 24/7 systems.
  • Establish operational standards through automation and reviews to reduce single-point-of-failure risks across the trading stack.
  • Partner with engineers to ensure latency-sensitive systems are both performant and easy to operate.
  • Mentor engineers and build team resilience within a lean, high-impact environment.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Institutional Markets, and SRE teams to develop platform roadmaps.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of infrastructure, platform, or SRE engineering experience with ownership of production systems at scale.
  • Track record running infrastructure for latency-sensitive trading environments including on-prem and colocated deployments.
  • Deep proficiency with orchestration tooling, containerized and baremetal deployments, and observability/logging tools.
  • Strong Linux performance and networking fundamentals in latency-critical environments.
  • Experience delivering end-to-end scoping, implementation, deploy safety, monitoring, and incident response.
  • Experience in a regulated or financial environment where reliability and low-latency performance are critical.
  • Ability to utilize generative AI responsibly with human oversight to improve workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
