What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software Engineer, Operations Technology position at Balyasny Asset Management?
What You'll Do
Build high-performance, multithreaded Rust systems for large-scale trade flow and event processing.
Design, ship, and operate distributed services that are reliable, observable, secure, and production-ready.
Own services end-to-end-from architecture and implementation through CI/CD, deployment, monitoring, incident response, and ongoing operational improvement.
Develop and maintain automated CI/CD and release workflows using Jenkins and Octopus Deploy, supporting consistent, controlled releases across development, test, UAT, and production environments.
Improve engineering velocity and release quality through automated testing, deployment validation, configuration management, versioning, and rollback capabilities.
Use AI coding tools and agents, such as Claude Code, Codex, or similar platforms, to accelerate development, testing, debugging, and refactoring while applying sound engineering judgment to validate outputs.
Optimize throughput, latency, memory efficiency, reliability, and AWS infrastructure cost at scale.
Collaborate with engineers and platform teams across New York, London, Poland, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
My additions
Build, maintain, and improve AWS cloud infrastructure using Terraform and infrastructure-as-code best practices, with a focus on security, scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency.
Operate and improve OpenSearch as a search, logging, and analytics platform, including reliability, performance, data lifecycle, access controls, and operational scalability.
Automate repetitive operational work and improve observability, alerting, and incident-response processes to reduce manual intervention and strengthen production reliability.
What We're Looking For
5 years of experience building and shipping production software in high-performance or enterprise environments.
Strong programming fundamentals, including software design, data structures, algorithms, concurrency, debugging, and testing.
Significant production experience with Rust, including async/await, ownership, memory management, and multithreaded programming; working knowledge of C# and .NET Core is also required.
Experience building distributed systems using REST, gRPC, microservices, and messaging platforms such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, or SQS/SNS.
A strong DevOps and production-ownership mindset, with experience building software that is observable, secure, resilient, and supportable in live environments.
Hands-on experience with CI/CD and release-management tooling-particularly Jenkins and Octopus Deploy-including pipeline development, deployment orchestration, and production release support.
Experience with production monitoring, logging, alerting, troubleshooting, and incident management.
Strong AWS experience, including serverless and performance-aware system design.
Extensive use of AI-assisted development tools and coding agents to improve delivery velocity across coding, testing, debugging, documentation, and workflow automation, paired with strong judgment on validation and correctness.
Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a fast-moving, collaborative team.
My Additions
Experience using Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code tooling to build and maintain cloud infrastructure.
Nice to Have
Experience integrating AI coding agents into team engineering workflows.
Familiarity with Agile, TDD/BDD, Rust testing frameworks, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud-native operational practices.
Experience with environment configuration, secrets management, deployment approvals, and rollback processes.
Knowledge of React or Angular.
Understanding of FIX, MS SQL, financial markets, and post-trade lifecycle processes.
My additions
Experience with AWS CodeBuild.
Experience building, maintaining, or optimizing large monorepos, including build performance, dependency management, test execution, and developer workflows.
Experience with OpenSearch or Elasticsearch index design, query performance, cluster operations, or data-retention management.
Why Join Us
