A high impact opportunity for a senior infrastructure engineer who wants to build where it actually counts, not disappear into a shared platform backlog. You will help extend a mature hybrid cloud environment into a new tenancy purpose built for digital assets trading. The mandate is broad enough to stretch you technically, but close enough to the trading outcome that you will see exactly why the work matters.
The opportunity:
- Design low latency infrastructure using cloud native primitives and performance tuned configurations
- Own and enhance the performance setup of a shared, always live cloud platform
- Build high throughput, resilient connectivity for exchange integrations under real market conditions
- Drive security hygiene on and off cloud, covering secrets management, network segmentation and traffic isolation
- Deliver infrastructure as code using Terraform and Terragrunt, with proper review and deployment discipline
- Build CI/CD and automated testing that reduces risk in a market that never really closes
- Implement and improve observability using tools like CloudWatch, Prometheus and Grafana
- Take a real share of operational ownership, from incident response to post incident hardening
What will make you stand out:
- A track record owning production infrastructure as a Platform, SRE or Infrastructure engineer
- Deep cloud knowledge, particularly VPC design, compute optimisation and performance networking
- Hands on Terraform authorship, not just consumption of someone else's modules
- Strong Linux fundamentals, including networking and systems performance tuning
- Programming ability in Python or Go for tooling, automation and integration
- Comfort explaining technical trade offs to both engineers and non technical stakeholders
- Bonus points for multi cloud experience, latency sensitive or real time systems, WebSocket infrastructure under burst load, and exposure to high performance networking concepts like SR-IOV, kernel tuning, RDMA or DPDK
