Base pay range

$125,000.00/yr - $225,000.00/yr

Are you an engineer with a passion for performance, scale, and optimization in a live production environment?

This role sits within a core trading systems team, supporting and evolving the infrastructure that underpins high-performance trading strategies. You'll work closely with both traders and developers across various trading desks, helping to drive forward improvements in systems.

Prior experience in a trading environment isn't a necessity (although it would be a plus), so this is an amazing opportunity to get exposed to some of the most advanced systems in the world, and work alongside extremely talented engineers in a highly collaborative team!

What you’ll do:

  • Provide day-to-day support and continuous improvement of core trading systems
  • Partner with traders and dev teams to scale, deploy, and fine-tune trading software
  • Focus on performance analysis, monitoring, and observability
  • Contribute to reliability and performance in a low-latency environment

Ideal background:

  • 5–10 years' experience in infrastructure-heavy or systems-focused roles
  • In depth practical experience with managing On-Premises environments
  • Strong Python scripting and Linux expertise
  • Experience with Kubernetes containerisation
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, ideally with a passion for tech tinkering
  • Knowledge of networks and data performance is highly beneficial

Location

Chicago (on site, with flexibility available)

Up to $225,000 base salary (could be flexible)

Various company benefits

Love solving systems problems that actually matter? Want to work on live trading infrastructure without being stuck in support? Apply today to find out more!
