IT Operations Engineer – Trading Infrastructure / Market Data

We're hiring a Senior IT Operations Engineer to join a high-impact team supporting the performance and reliability of real-time trading infrastructure. This is a hands-on role in a low-latency environment where milliseconds matter—and where your expertise can directly influence market data delivery and trade execution at scale.

You'll be working with cutting-edge observability tooling and complex distributed systems, helping to ensure uptime, optimise performance, and troubleshoot across the full tech stack—from the network layer through to application metrics.

This role is ideal for an engineer with strong infrastructure and networking experience, particularly in trading, market data, or similarly demanding environments. You'll bring a problem-solving mindset, attention to detail, and a passion for systems that operate at speed.

What You’ll Be Working On

• Real-time performance monitoring and telemetry systems
• Troubleshooting network and systems-level issues across trading infrastructure
• Enhancing observability with custom tooling and integrations
• Collaborating closely with infrastructure, DevOps, and engineering teams
• Network protocols and analysis tools (tcpdump, Wireshark, Corvil)

What You’ll Get

• A key role in a fast-paced, technically advanced environment
• Autonomy to drive improvements in system performance and reliability
• Exposure to high-frequency, low-latency trading systems
• Hybrid working model with flexibility and occasional office visits
• Opportunity to collaborate with expert engineers in a performance-critical domain

If you're ready to take the lead on challenging infrastructure problems and thrive in a trading tech environment where quality and speed are paramount—get in touch or apply now.
