Senior Linux DevOps Engineer (low latency, bare metal containerization) @ Vistulo (Gdańsk, Poland)

The Role at a Glance

• Fully remote for a top North American bank (based in Poland only)
• Work during US Eastern business hours
• Set up and maintain bare‑metal containerization for low‑latency environments

We’re hiring an experienced DevOps engineer (6+ years) to join the IT infrastructure team at a top North American bank — directly supporting the development of financial trading systems. You’ll be part of the core IT infrastructure team, building and maintaining infrastructure for high‑performant, low‑latency trading systems used across the firm.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain the on‑prem containerized infrastructure that powers low‑latency trading applications.
• Maintain configuration of hundreds of physical servers and sizable AWS‑based infrastructure.
• Build and maintain a suite of tools used in the management of the IT infrastructure.
• Participate in migration projects that modernize the DevOps tooling and infrastructure.
• Support production issues, including root‑cause analysis and diagnosis.

Why Join Us?

• Work on large‑scale systems — hundreds of physical and virtual servers.
• Interesting and challenging problems designing low‑latency systems.
• Collaborate with a world‑class team of DevOps engineers and developers across North America and Europe.
• Enjoy a long‑term, fully remote role.
• Competitive compensation and long‑term stability that only a bank can offer.

A successful candidate will be a passionate DevOps engineer who prioritizes automation, can code their own tools, and understands the value of observability. They must also be curious, open‑minded, and have a desire to learn new things. English proficiency is a must.

This is a fully remote DevOps role for an engineer in Poland. You will be working exclusively and directly with the bank through a Polish company, which will provide the support and administrative assistance to make you successful in the role. We are looking for people to join the team long‑term.

This role requires working during US Eastern business hours in order to be able to collaborate closely with other team members.

Only open to residents of Poland. Polish citizens, as well as legal residents with permission to work in Poland are welcome.

What we offer

• Professional environment: Collaborate with smart, highly capable developers in a supportive and challenging environment.
• Direct collaboration: You will work directly with the bank’s team in North America and in Poland.
• 1st‑tier work: This is not a technical support or legacy maintenance role.
• Long‑term commitment: This is not a fixed‑scope or fixed‑term outsourcing role; we value people who want to grow and contribute long‑term.
• Fully remote work: Fully remote position based in Poland.
• Competitive Compensation: Above‑average pay and ample time‑off options.

Interview Process

• Submit your CV.
• Answer a few written questions and a short programming exercise which you can do at your own pace.
• Participate in an online three‑stage interview process.

Successful candidates will need to pass a standard background check.

Must have

• Experience supporting low‑latency systems for trading applications or capital markets.
• Experience with high‑performance networking cards and performance optimization approaches such as kernel bypass.
• Bare‑metal container orchestration experience.
• Experience using infrastructure automation tools like Ansible, Terraform, Cloud Formation, or Puppet to manage large environments (hundreds of servers).
• Proficiency in Python and Bash.
• Experience deploying to AWS‑based systems.
• Ability to build and maintain observability systems that provide visibility into system health, performance, and failures across hundreds of servers.
• Deep troubleshooting skills in live Linux environments, including debugging performance issues, hung processes, and misconfigured services.
• Ability to work during US Eastern business hours.

Nice to have

• Past software development experience.
• Experience working remotely with North American firms.
• Experience working in FinTech.
