Zusammenfassung

Scalable Capital in Vienna is hiring a platform and infrastructure specialist to build and operate the foundation behind mission-critical, real-time trading systems with demanding reliability and tail-latency requirements. This is mainly a platform and infrastructure role covering AWS, Linux hosts, networking, containers, observability, deployment safety, and, where needed, dedicated hardware.

You will own infrastructure end to end and work with engineers to improve resilience and operational

Qualifikationen

• A university degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a comparable practical background.
• Experience with dedicated host strategies, low-latency networking, CPU pinning, host-level isolation techniques.
• Strong experience owning production infrastructure for distributed or real-time systems.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS, especially EC2, VPC networking, IAM, KMS, S3, SQS, SNS, and related operational tooling.
• Strong hands-on networking experience, including routing, DNS, load balancers, network security, service connectivity, and debugging complex production traffic paths.
• Strong experience with Terraform and infrastructure lifecycle management.
• Deep knowledge of Linux systems, containers, runtime debugging, and host-level performance tuning.
• Experience operating performance-sensitive workloads where predictability and tail-latency matter, not only average throughput.
• Experience with infrastructure patterns for stateful services, active/standby failover, recovery, deployment safety, and controlled cutovers.
• Strong analytical thinking, pragmatic decision-making, and clear communication across engineering and operational stakeholders.
• Nice to have: Experience supporting Rust-based service environments; Regulated/high-reliability environments.

Aufgaben

• Own infrastructure end to end across cloud and physical environments, including AWS, Linux hosts, networking, containers, and runtime operations.
• Design and improve infrastructure for performance-sensitive services, supported by repeatable production-like benchmarks covering throughput, burst behaviour, and p50, p95, p99, and p99.9 latency.
• Design, operate, and troubleshoot critical network paths across VPCs, routing, security groups, load balancers, DNS, private connectivity, and service-to-service communication.
• Build and improve infrastructure as code, host lifecycle management, and deployment workflows across development, staging, and production.
• Improve reliability, failover, recovery, and operational safety across Linux-based runtimes, containers, serverless workloads, event-driven flows, and scheduled processing.
• Harden platform capabilities around IAM, KMS, secrets, service connectivity, and secure operational access.
• Raise the standard of observability through dashboards, alerting, tracing, health checks, readiness checks, and incident tooling.
• Partner with software engineers on reusable infrastructure patterns, production readiness, CI/CD, and incident response.
