Job summary

Maven, a market-leading trading firm, seeks a Platform/SRE/DevOps professional based in Chicago. You will align with Chicago desks, translate their requirements into deployable platform features, and ensure rapid, reliable production support across US hours.

You will work with Platform teams in London and Asia and the Chicago infrastructure and trading tech groups. The role emphasizes Kubernetes, GitOps, and automation with Python/Go to improve deployment efficiency.

Qualifications

  • Around six years in a platform, SRE, DevOps or development role.
  • Comfortable working with traders, researchers and developers: translate messy requests into realizable requirements.
  • Able to recommend a direction and to say no when the ask is unreasonable.
  • Persistent follow-up across time zones; keep momentum.
  • Production Kubernetes: deployed, debugged changes, incident handling without waiting for others.
  • Comfortable with GitOps (ArgoCD, Helm, Kustomize); Terraform or similar experience.

Responsibilities

  • Understand Chicago team objectives and convert them into platform requirements.
  • Design better working methods: hosted environments, path to production, templates and checks.
  • Recommend existing solutions and push back when inappropriate.
  • Coordinate across time zones so work progresses while London is offline.
  • Be available during US hours for deployments or urgent issues.
  • Contribute to the shared platform and avoid US-specific forks.
  • Collaborate with Chicago Linux, network and storage teams on cross-cluster issues.
