Job Description

Multi-Strategy Systematic Hedge Fund. 6–9 months.

A multi-strategy systematic hedge fund is seeking a Trading Platform DevOps Engineer to own reliability, observability, and CI/CD infrastructure for their quant research and live trading environment. You will work directly with the Head of Engineering, owning the deployment pipeline, observability stack, and Linux performance environment for both research compute and live trading systems.

Candidates must have DevOps or platform engineering experience gained within a live financial services or trading environment — at a hedge fund, prop desk, systematic asset manager, or investment bank running live trading infrastructure. General DevOps experience from outside financial services will not be considered. The performance constraints, change management requirements, and operational consequences of this environment are fundamentally different from enterprise or cloud-native tech firms.

What they need:

→ 4+ years DevOps or platform engineering within a live trading or financial services environment — hedge fund, prop desk, systematic asset manager, or investment bank

→ Strong Linux systems knowledge applied to trading infrastructure — CPU isolation, huge pages, IRQ affinity, NUMA awareness for low-latency systems

→ Kubernetes and container orchestration managing production trading workloads

→ CI/CD pipeline design and implementation (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins) in a regulated financial context

→ Observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana, alerting pipelines for live trading systems

→ Infrastructure-as-code: Terraform, Ansible, or Pulumi

→ Familiarity with regulated change management processes in financial services

Duration: 6–9 months.
