This role sits directly on the front line of the trading environment, working closely with traders, developers, quantitative researchers, exchanges, and clearing partners.

What you’ll do:

• Monitor live production trading systems and respond to alerts and incidents in real time

• Troubleshoot and resolve application, operating system, trade, and position issues

• Deploy and configure proprietary and third-party trading applications

• Investigate trade breaks and support trade capture, reconciliation, and other operational workflows

• Build scripts and tooling to automate repetitive support and troubleshooting processes

• Work closely with traders, developers, exchanges, clearing firms, and technology vendors

• Support risk and compliance reporting and occasionally assist with trading desk or datacenter hardware

• Participate in early market-open coverage and an on-call / weekend rotation

Looking for:

• 2+ years of experience in Trade Support, Trade Operations, Application Support, or a similar production-support environment

• Strong hands-on experience with both Linux and Windows systems

• Scripting experience with Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar technologies

• Working knowledge of SQL for investigating trade, position, and reference data

• Strong troubleshooting skills across applications and operating systems

• Ability to diagnose and resolve production issues calmly in time-sensitive environments

• Strong communication skills and experience working across technical and business teams

• Ability to work on-site in Chicago and participate in early-hours and on-call coverage

• Unrestricted U.S. work authorization without current or future sponsorship requirements
