• Lead root cause analysis and blameless post-mortems, driving follow-ups and automation that prevent repeat issues
• Maintain platform availability through start-of-week/day checks, alert handling, and oversight of key technology processes, including those tied to exchange obligations
• Build and enhance monitoring environments and automate manual work to reduce operational risk
• Implement application releases and oversee infrastructure patching schedules in line with change management policy (some out-of-hours work)
• Take part in disaster recovery and business continuity exercises
• Partner with developers, project managers and business analysts to deliver new functionality that is fault-tolerant and scalable
• Mentor junior team members and contribute to regional and global process improvement initiatives

What you'll bring

• 5+ years in Production Support, SRE or DevOps within a trading or financial services environment
• Strong Linux/Unix, SQL and shell scripting skills, plus programming in Python, Java or similar
• Solid experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, Geneos or OpenTelemetry
• Familiarity with cloud platforms, containerisation (Kubernetes, Docker) and CI/CD pipelines
• Good understanding of the trade lifecycle and trading systems; knowledge of FX or another asset class
• Working knowledge of Agile and the wider software development life cycle
• Bachelor's degree or higher, preferably in a STEM field

You'll stand out if you are

• A calm problem solver in high-pressure situations who balances technical depth with business insight
• A strong communicator who can explain complex technical issues to a range of stakeholders
• Passionate about automation, with hands-on experience building tools that cut manual effort
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently and with global teams

Why apply

• Front-line exposure to an FX trading platform at a global bank
• A 12-month contract with the possibility of extension
• A hybrid working arrangement and access to engineering days, hackathons and learning events
