Zusammenfassung

DUDE CHEM is seeking an experienced Platform/Infrastructure Engineer to design, operate, and improve the runtime environment for performance-sensitive systems across cloud and on-premises. You will own end-to-end infrastructure, optimize tail-latency, and collaborate with software engineers on scalable patterns.

Responsibilities include building IaC, securing access, and improving observability across the stack.

Qualifikationen

• University degree in CS, Engineering, or equivalent practical background.
• Experience with dedicated host strategies and low-latency networking.
• Strong production infrastructure ownership for distributed/real-time systems.
• Hands-on AWS experience: EC2, VPC, IAM, KMS, S3, SQS, SNS, and related tooling.
• Strong networking experience: routing, DNS, load balancers, security groups.
• Terraform and infra lifecycle management.
• Deep knowledge of Linux systems, containers, and runtime debugging.
• Experience with tail-latency sensitive workloads and stateful services.

Aufgaben

• Own infrastructure end-to-end across cloud and physical environments including AWS and Linux hosts.
• Design and improve infrastructure for performance-sensitive services with production-like benchmarks.
• Operate and troubleshoot critical network paths across VPCs, routing, DNS, and load balancers.
• Build and improve infrastructure as code and deployment workflows across environments.
• Improve reliability, failover, and operational safety across runtimes and workflows.
• Harden platform capabilities around IAM, KMS, secrets, and service connectivity.
• Raise observability through dashboards, alerts, tracing, and health checks.
• Partner with software engineers on reusable infrastructure patterns and CI/CD.

Jobbeschreibung

Join us to build and operate the infrastructure foundation behind mission-critical, real-time trading systems with demanding reliability and tail-latency requirements.

This is primarily a platform and infrastructure role. You will work on the runtime and operational environment behind performance-sensitive systems across cloud and physical infrastructure. The scope includes AWS, Linux hosts, networking, containerized runtimes, observability, deployment safety, and, where needed, dedicated hardware.

In this role you will:

• 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

• 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
• Experience in regulated, security‑sensitive, or high‑reliability environments

• Be part of one of the fastest-growing and most visible Fintech startups in Europe, creating innovative services that have a substantial impact on the lives of our customers
• Work with an international, diverse, inclusive, and ever‑growing team that loves creating the best products for our clients
• Be productive with the latest hardware and tools
• Learn and grow by joining our in‑house knowledge sharing or career development sessions and spending your individual Education Budget
• Learn and experience German culture first hand by joining our free German language classes
• International relocation support is provided if required
• Opportunity to work from abroad
• Benefit from an attractive compensation package and from the company pension scheme
• Monthly contribution of 50% for the ‘Deutschland Jobticket’
• Say goodbye to order commissions and say hello to your complimentary subscription of Scalable Capital's PRIME+ Broker
• Enjoy flexible and discounted sports activities with Urban Sports Club
