Join our team as a Senior Platform Engineer, where you will be responsible for the end-to-end management of our infrastructure across cloud and physical environments. You will design and improve infrastructure for performance-sensitive services, troubleshoot critical network paths, and enhance reliability and operational safety. This role offers remote working opportunities, a diverse and inclusive community, and the chance to make a significant impact in the finance industry.

Own infrastructure end to end across cloud and physical environments, including AWS, Linux hosts, networking, containers, and runtime operations.

Responsibilities

  • Design and improve infrastructure for performance-sensitive services, supported by repeatable production-like benchmarks covering throughput, burst behaviour, and latency.
  • Build and improve infrastructure as code, host lifecycle management, and deployment workflows across development, staging, and production.

Requirements

  • Experience with infrastructure patterns for stateful services, active/standby failover, recovery, deployment safety, and controlled cutovers
  • Strong experience with Terraform and infrastructure lifecycle management
  • Strong experience owning production infrastructure for distributed or real-time systems
  • Strong hands-on networking experience, including routing, DNS, load balancers, network security, service connectivity, and debugging complex production traffic paths
  • Deep knowledge of Linux systems, containers, runtime debugging, and host-level performance tuning
  • Strong analytical thinking, pragmatic decision-making, and clear communication across engineering and operational stakeholders
  • Strong hands-on experience with AWS, especially EC2, VPC networking, IAM, KMS, S3, SQS, SNS, and related operational tooling
  • Experience with dedicated host strategies, low-latency networking, CPU pinning, host-level isolation techniques
  • A university degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a comparable practical background
  • Experience operating performance-sensitive workloads where predictability and tail-latency matter, not only average throughput

Preferred

  • Experience supporting Rust-based service environments
  • Experience in regulated, security-sensitive, or high-reliability environments
