Job
Description
1. Automation of Processes: Automate trading system deployments, configuration, and monitoring to minimize manual errors and ensure rapid, consistent updates across environments. Develop scripts and tools to automate repetitive tasks, such as environment provisioning, software deployments, and database updates, using tools like Ansible, Jenkins, or Terraform. 2. High-Frequency Trading (HFT) System Optimization: Optimize CI/CD pipelines for ultra-low latency and high-throughput trading systems to support continuous delivery of trading algorithms and infrastructure updates. Ensure that deployment and testing processes do not impact the performance of trading operations. 3. Infrastructure Management and Scalability: Managecloud and on-premises infrastructures tailored for trading environments, focusing on low latency, high availability, and failover strategies. UseInfrastructure as Code (IaC) to provision scalable and secure environments that can handle fluctuating loads typical in trading operations. 4. Monitoring and Real-Time Logging: Implement monitoring tools to track system performance, trade execution times, and infrastructure health in real-time. Setupsophisticated logging mechanisms for trade data, errors, and performance metrics, ensuring traceability and quick troubleshooting during incidents. 5. Security and Compliance: Integrate security best practices into the DevOps pipeline, including real-time security scans, vulnerability assessments, and access control tailored for financial data protection. Ensure that all systems comply with financial regulations such as GDPR, MiFID II, and SEC rules, including managing audit logs and data retention policies. 6. Disaster Recovery and High Availability: Design and maintain disaster recovery solutions to ensure continuity in trading operations during outages or data breaches. Implement redundancy and failover strategies to maintain trading platform uptime, minimizing the risk of costly downtimes. 7. Performance Optimization for Trading Systems: Fine-tune infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines to reduce deployment times and latency, crucial for real-time trading environments. Workonsystem performance to support the rapid execution of trades, data feeds, and order matching systems. 8. Incident Management and Troubleshooting: Rapidly respond to incidents affecting trading operations, performing root cause analysis and implementing corrective measures to prevent reoccurrence. Ensure detailed incident reporting and documentation to support regulatory requirements. 9. Configuration Management: Maintain configuration consistency across multiple environments (dev, test, prod) using tools like Puppet, Chef, or SaltStack. Ensure configurations meet the stringent security and performance standards required for trading platforms. 10. Collaboration with Development and Trading Teams: Workclosely with developers, quants, and traders to ensure smooth deployment of new trading algorithms and updates to trading platforms. Facilitate communication between development, trading desks, and compliance teams to ensure that changes are in line with business requirements and regulations. 11. Risk Management: Implement risk management controls within the DevOps pipeline to minimize the impact of potential system failures on trading operations. Workwith risk and compliance teams to ensure that deployment and infrastructure changes do not expose trading systems to unnecessary risks. 12. Cloud Services and Cost Optimization: Deploy, manage, and scale trading applications on cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, with a focus on minimizing costs without compromising performance. Utilize cloud-native services such as AWS Lambda or Azure Functions for event-driven processes in trading workflows. 13. Version Control and Code Management: Managethe versioning of trading algorithms and platform updates using Git or similar tools, ensuring traceability and quick rollback capabilities if issues arise. Establish rigorous code review processes to ensure that changes align with performance and security standards specific to trading systems.
