Your Core Responsibilities:

• Scale and advance IMC's trading systems builds and development tooling to support an excellent work environment for developers
• Ensure reliable multi-tenant development environment operations supporting hundreds of concurrent users across global regions
• Troubleshoot potential issues with build infrastructure and implementing improvements
• Design and build infrastructure supporting the development, build, test, and release processes
