Staff Site Reliability Engineer
As the foundational Technical Lead for the Platform Engineering SRE organization, you will serve as the primary architect and visionary for core technology foundations supporting a global derivatives marketplace. You will define the multi-year technical roadmap, oversee infrastructure changes involving GCP, GKE, and Kafka event buses, and lead incident response to ensure high-volume financial systems maintain ultra-low latency and reliability. Your daily work involves building internal development platforms using Python to mask complexity, mentoring engineers through design reviews, and standardizing SLIs and SLOs. The role requires expert proficiency in Python, Go, Terraform, and ArgoCD, alongside experience with Gemini for self-healing infrastructure. You will solve complex problems regarding distributed systems, high-concurrency architectures, and automated troubleshooting within a regulated environment to transition the platform from infrastructure as a service to reliability as a product.
