Senior DevOps Engineer
We are a technology-driven HFT fund operating in international financial markets. We develop and operate high-performance trading systems where infrastructure speed, stability, and reliability are critical.
We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to take ownership of the DevOps direction. This is a role with a high degree of responsibility and autonomy: you will be responsible for the infrastructure, operation, and release processes of critical trading systems, setting engineering standards, and defining the future development of the direction.
We need an engineer who not only closes individual tasks but is capable of taking the direction under their control, building and improving processes, and being responsible for overall production reliability.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Build and maintain CI/CD: configure stable and fast build and deployment pipelines, automate releases for different team stacks, ensure secure deployments with minimal downtime.
- Manage production infrastructure (cloud + on-premise): configure and maintain industrial operation servers, environments, updates, and configurations. Maintain a transparent code delivery process and a clear system status for all teams.
- Enhance production reliability: work with systemd, networks, and configurations, participate in incident analysis, prevent their recurrence, and implement operational improvements.
- Collaborate with trading and infrastructure teams: jointly design solutions, implement system improvements and updates, participate in incident analysis.
REQUIREMENTS
Technical Stack:
- Deep knowledge of Unix/Linux and system administration experience — infrastructure and operational aspects.
- Proficient in Python.
- AWS API — deep knowledge and practical experience.
- GitLab CI/CD — pipeline configuration and maintenance.
- Prometheus/VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, Alertmanager, Loki/ELK — configuration, collection, integration, and debugging of metrics, alerts, and dashboards.
- IaC: Ansible/Terraform.
- ClickHouse.
Operational Experience and Approach:
- Experience independently bringing projects to production and their subsequent support: CI/CD, tests, monitoring, alerts.
- Understanding of reliable production system principles: SLA, uptime, fault tolerance, incident response, secure deployments.
- Willingness to lead infrastructure tasks from problem diagnosis to resolution in production.
- Ability to balance performance and simplicity and make engineering decisions with a focus on maintainability, scalability, and debuggability.
- Independence and readiness to take responsibility for critical systems.
- Ability to prioritize and switch between multiple projects.
WILL BE AN ADVANTAGE
- Experience in areas with high reliability and performance requirements: finance, HFT, and other high-load/low-latency systems.
- Experience with high-performance or distributed data storage systems.
- Understanding of high-throughput network principles.
- Experience with low-latency WAN: microwave/RF links, dedicated inter-site channels.
- Experience with FPGA infrastructure.
- Experience with AMD Solarflare Ethernet Adapters.
- Higher technical education (MIPT, MSU, MSTU n.a. Bauman, HSE).
CONDITIONS
- Salary: in dollars or rubles + transparent bonus system.
- Voluntary medical insurance.
- Format: modern office in Moscow; hybrid or remote work format can be discussed.
- Flexible start of the workday.
- Equipment provided.
