Job description

We're looking for a DevOps Engineer to join our team, reporting to the AVP – Software Engineering. In this role, you'll be part of our Market Surveillance Engineering Team, playing a key part in keeping our trading systems running at their best — including directly supporting Nasdaq Equity Markets' landmark expansion to 23/5 trading, with production go-live beginning in December 2026.

You'll fit right in if you're technically sharp, thrive in fast-paced, always-on production environments, and enjoy collaborating with global teams to solve complex operational challenges at scale.

What You’ll Do

• Drive operational readiness and production stability for Nasdaq Equity Markets' transition to 23/5 trading — including go-live preparation, production validation, and post-implementation support.
• Provide technical and application support during extended 23/5 market hours, managing incident triage, escalation, recovery, and coordination across engineering and business teams.
• Monitor systems in real time for errors, failures, and capacity issues — troubleshoot, diagnose, and collaborate with development teams to resolve them quickly.
• Develop and maintain operational procedures, runbooks, and recovery processes that support system reliability and continuous improvement across extended trading hours.
• Collaborate with colleagues across Australia, the United States, India, Poland, and other global locations to deliver effective technology solutions to internal clients.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.
• 6+ years of experience in systems operations, production support, or application support in mission-critical technology environments.
• Experience with programming languages such as Python, Java, or Bash, with the ability to learn additional technologies used to automate and support production operations.
• Strong working knowledge of Linux/Unix environments, including bash scripting, with the ability to troubleshoot performance across the OS, device, and network layers.
• Hands-on experience with AWS technologies and operational tools such as Jira, Git, SQL Server, CI/CD pipelines, and system-monitoring platforms.
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, global team environment, including availability for weekend on-call rotations as needed.

Nice to Have

• Experience with high-performance, low-latency, mission-critical environments is a plus.
• Experience with AI is a plus but not required.

This position is based in Sydney and offers a hybrid working arrangement with at least 2 days per week in the office, subject to change.
