Job description

DevOps Engineer

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.
• Experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies and practices.
• 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.
