Who we are:

The financial industry hinges on one simple act: the trade. When our customers want to exchange value with other parties, they need to be able to do so with ease and immediacy, and are able to do so using solutions such as those provided by the Trade Automation and Execution team (TRAAX). With trillions of dollars traded on our systems daily, our business continues to evolve towards trends such as trade automation, predictive analytics, higher data volumes, and an increased focus on performance.

Our TRAAX offerings integrate with the breadth and depth of our other capabilities across the trade lifecycle for all asset classes — including data science and automation. Our team is where product-minded engineers who want to build distributed systems thrive.

We’ll trust you to:

• Examine our system to identify key indicators that reflect client expectations and work with our engineering and product teams to define SLOs
• Establish a high standard of Observability across our system to improve understanding and visibility of potential issues
• Produce tooling for monitoring and debugging with the aim of improving transparency of the system whilst minimising operational costs through automation
• Define standards based on reviews with component teams to ensure that scalability and performance aspects are considered during application design
• Advocate for SRE practices with component teams and enable them to build observable and reliable products

We'd love to see:

• A passion for using the right tool for the job 
• Championing best practices for SRE methodologies and excitement to help grow our team by promoting a reliability focused approach
• Advocate the adoption of these principles and drive SRE culture change

You'll need to have:

• Proficiency in one or more programming languages including some understanding of either C++, Python or JavaScript/TypeScript
• An understanding of how to manage the stability of performance sensitive distributed systems
• Familiarity with telemetry approaches (metrics, distributed tracing, logging) and how to apply them to achieve observability
• A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent work experience
