• Adaptiv workflows and configurations
• Common failure modes and resolutions
• Operational runbooks
• Contribute to reducing singlepointoffailure knowledge through shared ownership and documentation.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent experience
• 3 years of experience in a platform engineering, production support, or systems engineering role
• Experience supporting batchoriented, computeintensive platforms in production
• Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to diagnose complex system and data issues
• Working knowledge of:
• Linux/Unix environments
• Scripting languages (e.g., Python, Shell)

• Monitoring and observability tooling
• Exposure to market risk concepts (training provided if not previously experienced)

What Success Looks Like in This Role

• You become a trusted engineer for the Adaptiv platform
• Production issues are handled calmly, effectively, and with minimal escalation
• Platform reliability and transparency improve measurably over time
• Operational knowledge is documented and shared across the team
• Over time, dependency on specific individuals is reduced through improved platform maturity.

Why This Role Matters

Adaptiv supports missioncritical risk calculations that are foundational to business decisionmaking and regulatory compliance. The stability of this platform directly impacts operational risk, regulatory confidence, and team sustainability. This role is central to protecting and modernizing that backbone.
