Project Description:
We are looking for an engineer with experience in distributed systems to join our team working on a new transaction monitoring application used across multiple businesses.

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will lead the team's thinking when it comes to hosting applications in production. You will understand the functional and non-functional requirements and design an approach that will allow us to productionise the new system as quickly as possible, and then iterate to a robust approach. You will integrate with other systems for provisioning, monitoring, and alerting. Working closely with our support teams and development teams, you will help do all this with a high level of automation and reliability. We want to minimize manual processes and strong software engineering proficiency in this role is key.

This is an exciting opportunity to work on an important project, which will have huge impact on our future architecture.

Responsibilities:
• Working closely with a data-centric application, hosting algorithms to detect possible market abuse.
• Designing a deployment and hosting strategy that will scale to support multiple algorithms and many end users in a performant way in a way that will deliver value early and often. Implementing against this strategy.
• Build out our CI/CD pipeline to deploy all layers of the architecture to production in a robust, easy-to-use and automated way.
• Providing alerting, technical documentation and operational support to allow us to identify and resolve incidents with the health of the application as quickly as possible. Handing this approach over the support teams in production environment, possibly through the writing of Runbooks.
• Building a close relationship with clients and stakeholders to understand the use case for the platform, and prioritise work accordingly
• Working well in a multidisciplinary DevOps-focused team, building a close relationship with other developers, Quants/Data Scientists and production support teams

Mandatory Skills:

• You have experience building CI/CD pipelines from scratch for microservice architectures, ideally, with experience in TeamCity, IBM UrbanCode Deploy and/or Jenkins.
• You will have developing or supporting applications with a significant ETL component. You can deploy, scale and monitor these applications.
