DevOps Engineer

DevOps Engineer / Trading / Philadelphia Area / Up to $300,000 - $325,000 TC

About the company

Our client is a strategic subsidiary of one of the world's largest and most respected trading firms. The business runs its own trading strategies, combining the pace and ownership of a small team with the infrastructure and backing of a Tier 1 trading firm.

The role

The team is looking for a DevOps Engineer to take ownership of how its systems are built, deployed and run. The infrastructure is entirely cloud based on Azure, and you'll play a lead role in shaping it, working closely with the Engineers in other offices and partnering with developers and traders across the business.

What you'll do

• Lead deployments across the Azure environment, from release planning to production rollout
• Design, build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that let engineers ship quickly and safely
• Build internal tools and automation in Python to improve reliability, visibility and developer productivity
• Manage infrastructure as code, keeping environments consistent, reproducible and secure
• Own monitoring, alerting and incident response for systems that support 24/7 trading
• Help define processes and best practices as the platform and team grow

What they're looking for

• 3+ years of experience in DevOps, platform or infrastructure engineering
• Strong hands-on experience with Azure
• Strong Python skills, with a track record of building your own tools rather than relying on off-the-shelf solutions
• Experience with new build-outs: standing up environments, pipelines or processes from scratch
• Familiarity with infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform or Bicep), containers and orchestration (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes/AKS)
• A strong ownership mindset and the ability to work autonomously in a small team

Nice to have

• Experience in trading, fintech or another environment where latency or uptime is critical
• Exposure to digital assets or blockchain infrastructure
• Cloud security and compliance experience

What's on offer

• Total compensation of $300,000 to $325,000, including a performance-based annual bonus
• Relocation support
• Ownership and impact in a small team, with the resources of a Tier 1 trading firm
