A leading systematic trading firm is hiring a hands-on Observability Platform Specialist. Models drive every decision here, which means data is everywhere: huge volumes of market and alternative data, large research compute, and low-latency production trading systems spread across regions. Understanding what all of that is doing, in real time, is a serious engineering problem, and this is the team that solves it.
What you’ll do:
- Own the metrics, logging, tracing and alerting platform end to end, from collection and ingestion to storage, querying, dashboards and alerts.
- Build and run telemetry pipelines that handle very high throughput and high-cardinality data across multiple regions.
- Create automated, self-service tooling so teams can get value from their data without raising tickets.
- Cut alert noise and improve signal for on-call engineers.
- Write production-grade code in Python, Go or Rust, including operators, exporters and pipeline components.
What you’ll bring:
- 4+ years in DevOps, SRE or platform engineering.
- Python and Git, plus Go or Rust.
- Hands-on experience with a modern observability stack: Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, Vector, Elastic, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, AlertManager.
- Observability at scale for distributed applications on Kubernetes.
- Strong Linux, Bash and containers background.
- Clear communication, and a degree in Engineering, Computer Science or similar.
Nice to have:
- Ansible or Terraform.
- ClickHouse or other high-volume time-series/columnar stores.
- Running high-cardinality telemetry with cost and retention controls.
Why this one:
- Genuinely data-heavy: the telemetry is a big-data platform in its own right.
- Full ownership of the platform and its direction, not a support seat.
- Engineers use what you build every day, and the stakes are real.
