Job description

The Trading Infrastructure team is building a high-performance, front-to-back Trading Platform that supports multi-asset trading. The platform is designed to handle financial instruments with low-latency execution, robust risk controls, and seamless integration across trading, risk, operations, and finance workflows.

The system is built with a modular architecture encompassing core components such as market data feeds, order gateways, execution algorithms, risk engines, UI dashboards, middle office reconciliation, and account infrastructure. We emphasize event-driven, deterministic system design, real-time observability, and strong security.

Our tech stack includes Java (low-latency), Python, Web UI (React/Ag-Grid), Aeron, ClickHouse, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD tooling, with a strong focus on automation, scalability, and performance. AI-assisted development tools are also leveraged to boost productivity and quality across the team.

Responsibilities

• Design, provision, and maintain scalable infrastructure for our trading systems, including CI/CD pipelines, observability stack, and runtime environments.
• Administer and tune databases such as AWS Aurora, PostgreSQL, and ClickHouse.
• Automate provisioning and configuration of EC2 and related resources using Ansible and other infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform).
• Ensure secure, stable environments through proper VPC design, IAM governance, and secret management.
• Build and maintain system metrics and alerts using Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki.
• Enforce GitHub repo and branching standards across development teams.
• Ensure cost-effective infrastructure usage through continuous monitoring, resource optimization, and cost control strategies across AWS and containerized deployments.
• Manage backup and disaster recovery procedures for all critical systems.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to containerize services and fine-tune runtime performance.
• Evaluate and integrate AI/LLM tools to improve automation, diagnostics, and operational efficiency.

Requirements

• 5+ years of DevOps or SRE experience in high-availability, real-time systems.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS services (EC2, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch, RDS) and cost monitoring tools (e.g., AWS Budgets, Cost Explorer).
• Skilled in provisioning and config management using Ansible; Terraform experience is a plus.
• Proficient in ClickHouse and PostgreSQL; knowledge of kdb+ or InfluxDB is a bonus.
• Solid scripting skills (Python, Bash, or equivalent).
• Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and deployment automation.
• Familiar with monitoring and logging stacks; experience with Prometheus/Grafana is expected.
• Security-conscious and experienced in IAM, encryption, and secure system design.
• Able to monitor and optimize computing resources to maintain performance within budget constraints.
• Comfortable using AI tools for automation, diagnostics, or efficiency gains.

Communication & Collaboration

• Proficient in English (spoken and written); Chinese or other languages are a plus but not required.
• Comfortable working in a global team with colleagues across APAC, EMEA, and North America.
• Strong communication skills; able to interface across all levels from senior leadership to engineers and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Able to explain complex systems to both technical and non-technical audiences and coordinate effectively across teams with diverse backgrounds.
