• Partner directly with traders and risk managers to turn time-sensitive requirements into reliable, production-ready solutions.
• Own production services end-to-end, including releases, monitoring, incident response, and root-cause analysis.
• Troubleshoot issues across distributed components, data flows, and runtime environments; drive fixes that reduce recurrence.
• Improve DevOps and operational readiness, including CI/CD, environment management, dependency management, and automation.
• Maintain strong engineering standards through code reviews, testing discipline, performance profiling, and clear documentation/runbooks.
