About the Role:

We are seeking an Application DevOps Engineer to support a large-scale regulatory risk calculation and reporting platform within a global markets environment. The platform supports fixed income, currencies, commodities, and equities, providing critical end-of-day, intraday, and on-demand risk generation capabilities.

The role will focus on production stability, application resiliency, capacity management, failover readiness, tooling, automation, and regulatory compliance across a complex risk calculation plant.

The successful candidate will work closely with globally distributed developers, DevOps engineers, release management, infrastructure teams, and business-aligned risk stakeholders. The environment is primarily based on Quartz or a comparable enterprise trading and risk platform, with development largely in Python and selected C++ components for high-performance workloads.

This is a hands-on engineering and platform ownership role for someone who can solve non-trivial application, infrastructure, and batch-processing challenges while improving operational control and reducing manual effort.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide DevOps expertise and technical leadership for the effective management of application infrastructure and large-scale risk calculation plants.
• Support end-of-day, intraday, and on-demand risk generation, with a strong focus on stability, resiliency, operational control, and service continuity.
• Plan, coordinate, and execute application and infrastructure failovers in line with business and technology requirements.
• Improve monitoring, alerting, tooling, and automation to strengthen production stability and reduce manual operational effort.
• Manage capacity, performance, and scalability considerations across batch-oriented and on-demand risk processing workloads.
• Partner with developers, release management, platform DevOps, technology infrastructure, and business-aligned risk teams on weekday and weekend activities.
• Troubleshoot complex application, infrastructure, deployment, and batch-processing issues, driving problems through root-cause analysis and resolution.
• Contribute to software development, testing, deployment, production support, and continuous improvement using agile delivery practices.
• Act as a regional point of contact and take ownership of operational outcomes as the regulatory risk capability expands globally.

Required Skills and Experience:

• 7+ years of professional experience with Python or an equivalent programming language, including the ability to build and support automation, tooling, and operational improvements.
• Practical experience across software development, testing, deployment, and production support within an agile engineering environment.
• Understanding of large-scale application plants, including capacity management, resiliency, failover, and operational stability.
• Experience supporting business-critical production systems, batch processing, or risk generation workloads with demanding service expectations.
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and troubleshooting skills across application, infrastructure, and processing layers.
• Ability to break down complex problems and propose practical, controlled solutions appropriate for production environments.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across technology, infrastructure, and business stakeholders.
• Self-motivated and proactive, with a strong ownership mindset for production stability and operational outcomes.
• Experience contributing to a high-performance team delivering high-priority initiatives.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in Financial Services, ideally supporting risk, trading, market risk, or regulatory reporting platforms.
• Knowledge of Quartz or a comparable large-scale trading and risk platform.
• Experience with continuous integration, deployment pipelines, monitoring, alerting, and production automation.
• Understanding of system design and architecture for resilient, scalable, and operationally controlled platforms.
• Exposure to C++ components or high-performance application environments.
• Front-office technology or production support experience, with an interest in expanding further into DevOps, Python engineering, and platform ownership.
• Experience working with globally distributed teams across multiple regions and time zones.
