You will build a deep understanding of our server landscape, network topology, cloud providers, and core systems to ensure our platform runs securely, reliably, and at high performance.
Key Responsibilities:
- Contribute to the design and evolution of a scalable, multi-location IT architecture capable of handling varying loads and latency requirements
- Collaborate on new installations, including low-latency exchange connectivity and server deployments in collaboration with our in-house infrastructure and development teams as well as external vendors
- Collaborate with infrastructure engineers, performance engineers, and our in-house development teams to proactively identify and resolve system reliability risks
- Build and operate Kubernetes environments, including developing operators and improving deployment pipelines
- Migrate legacy systems to modern infrastructure designs and continuously optimize performance
- Design and maintain robust backup and disaster recovery solutions

- Strong experience with Kubernetes and containerization (Docker)
- Solid background in Linux systems administration
- Good understanding of server, storage, network infrastructure
- Experience with setting up and managing low-latency exchange infrastructure
- Experience with automation, scripting (e.g. Bash), and CI/CD pipelines
- Familiarity with Git-based workflows and tools
- Knowledge of networking concepts such as DNS, DHCP, routing, switching, and firewalls
- Experience with monitoring tools such as SolarWinds, Nagios, or Zabbix
