Responsibilities
- Production infrastructure across multi region cloud and latency sensitive environments
- Reliable systems for live trading, multi venue market data ingestion, and research compute
- Deployment pipelines that ship strategy and model changes quickly and safely
- Observability across data quality, execution, strategy, and infrastructure
- Resilience: failover, disaster recovery, and operational readiness for systems that lose money when they’re down

About the Role
- Axon Labs is a next generation systematic trading and research lab.
- We combine machine learning, neuroscience inspired architectures, and high performance engineering to build decision engines that run in live markets.
- We are already live, with multiple strategies running in production across venues on infrastructure we built ourselves.
- This is a founding hire. You will work directly with founders, researchers, and traders, set engineering standards, and have direct influence over architecture from day one.

Qualifications
- Likely background: You may come from Jane Street, D. E. Shaw, Two Sigma, Hudson River, Optiver, XTX, Citadel, an exchange or market infrastructure business, or a top infra team at a serious technology company.
- You should have built and run production systems where downtime had a real cost, and you have supported researchers or traders.
