Role Overview

This is a varied role working across a multitude of observability tools to ensure smooth operation of Liquidnet’s Production trading platforms and underlying infrastructure supporting them. The role is responsible for early identification of issues, correlating multiple issues across hardware and software and ensuring clear runbooks are created and followed at all times.

Liquidnet employ an offshore ‘Network Operational Centre’ (NOC) in India who perform ‘eyes on glass’ monitoring of systems, raising alerts to the relevant teams as per runbook definition. This role provides a level of oversight and guidance to the offshore team, but is embedded within the wider Production Support organisation so that it can provide realtime statistics and input towards root cause analysis, particularly during major incidents. Input is critical on major incident bridges and post-mortems to ensure continuous improvement to the observability of systems.

Liquidnet currently operate on-prem however over the next 2 years, there is a major transformation programme that will see all non-latency-sensitive applications moving to the Cloud, so experience in observability across both setups is crucial. A consolidation project is also underway across the observability tooling stack within the TP ICAP group that is likely to have an impact on the Liquidnet tooling and working practices.

Lastly, there is a big drive to automate as much as possible at Liquidnet and so this role would contribute to this by automating smoke checks and other manual workflows. So the ideal candidate would combine a scripting and automation skillset with a ruthless desire to reduce TOIL and repetitive, low-value tasks.
