- Shadow senior engineers as they partner with product teams to understand the reliability and scalability needs for new features.
- Write and maintain basic scripts and tools to help reduce toil and improve engineering velocity.
- Contribute to and learn from our culture of blameless post-mortems to drive continuous improvement.
- Assist with DR (Disaster Recovery) and systems resiliency testing.
- Support the migration of markets applications to Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
- After a period of training and mentorship, begin to shadow and then participate in the on-call rotation with direct support from senior engineers.
What We’re Looking For
- A passion for technology and a strong desire to build a career in Site Reliability Engineering.
- Foundational programming/scripting skills (e.g., Python, Java, C++, Bash) demonstrated through coursework, personal projects, or internships.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical abilities with a curious mindset.
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
- A profound eagerness to learn and adapt in a fast-paced trading environment.

- Good knowledge of Linux-based systems.
- Basic understanding of containerisation technologies like Docker or Kubernetes.
- An interest in metrics & monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or Splunk.
