About this opportunity
Lead Site Reliability Engineer
A leading quantitative trading firm is hiring a senior, hands-on SRE with proven technical-lead experience to build and improve the infrastructure powering its firm-wide productivity services.
The engineering goal is to make those services more reliable, scalable and straightforward to operate, identifying issues before they affect users and improving how infrastructure is built, deployed and maintained across on-premises and cloud environments.
You’ll work across a broad internal systems stack, including AI tools, directory services and container platforms, partnering directly with engineering and IT teams. You’ll join as a hands-on individual contributor, bringing established technical leadership experience and progressing towards a lead role over time.
What You’ll Do
- Build and operate highly available internal services across on-premises and cloud environments
- Shape technical direction and own major reliability and infrastructure initiatives from design through to production
- Develop proactive monitoring, observability and automation to detect and resolve issues before they affect users
- Improve Linux and Kubernetes infrastructure, deployment workflows and operational reliability
- Mentor engineers, strengthen engineering standards and guide complex technical decisions
What We’re Looking For
- Strong hands-on SRE, platform or infrastructure engineering experience
- Prior technical-lead experience is essential, whether as a formal lead or the technical owner of a team or major initiative
- Strong Linux, Kubernetes/container infrastructure, monitoring and observability expertise
- Python proficiency and deep experience with tools such as Terraform, SaltStack, Chef, Puppet or Ansible
- Experience with CI/CD tooling and services running on AWS, Azure and/or GCP
- Motivation to remain hands-on, joining initially as an individual contributor
- Prior people management and trading experience are not required.
We welcome engineers from technology companies and other environments where reliable infrastructure supports demanding internal users.
