Job Description

Location: Remote
Type: Full-Time
On-Call Requirement: Yes (Rotational Operational Support)

About the Role

We’re looking for a mid-level DevOps Engineer to join our globally distributed team and help scale and operate the infrastructure that powers millions of trades daily across CeFi and DeFi venues. You’ll play a mission-critical role in ensuring the performance, reliability, and security of our systems in one of the most demanding environments in tech: digital asset trading.

This isn’t just an infrastructure role. You’ll be a key player in building and operating systems where milliseconds matter and downtime is never an option. We need someone who can go beyond automation — someone who understands how low-level performance issues, network latency, and cloud inefficiencies can affect real-world trading outcomes.

The position involves participating in a rotational on-call schedule , collaborating with team members across Australia, Hong Kong, and Europe , and working proactively to ensure 24/7 uptime and operational excellence .

Key Responsibilities

• Ensure the performance and reliability of mission-critical trading infrastructure by proactively identifying and resolving bottlenecks at all layers: compute, network, storage, and application.


• Support, operate, and continuously improve highly available, low-latency systems under global trading load, with a strong focus on automation and enabling self-service for internal teams.


• Participate in a rotational on-call schedule , handling real-time operational incidents, root cause analysis, and long-term preventive improvements.


• Use metrics and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, etc.) to detect anomalies, monitor performance trends, and support incident response.


• Build, manage, and scale infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and configuration management tools like Ansible .


• Maintain and optimize containerized services using Docker , with opportunities to expand into Kubernetes .


• Collaborate closely with trading, engineering, and security teams to align infrastructure improvements with application demands.


• Implement robust security practices, including IAM, threat detection, and secure CI/CD pipelines, to support high-trust production environments.


• Apply low-level optimization strategies to improve throughput, reduce latency, and increase system efficiency across diverse environments.

Requirements

• 5+ years in DevOps/SRE roles focused on high-performance, production-grade systems.


• Strong Linux systems background and infrastructure automation skills using Ansible .


• Proficient with Terraform and experienced in managing cloud infrastructure (AWS required, Azure a plus).


• Deep understanding of performance engineering at both the system and network levels, including tuning, profiling, and capacity planning.


• Experience working in latency-sensitive environments , ideally in trading, fintech, or other real-time domains.


• Excellent scripting and automation capabilities using Python and Bash ; knowledge of Go , JavaScript , or TypeScript is a plus.


• Familiarity with containerized workloads (Docker essential, Kubernetes nice to have).


• Hands-on experience with observability stacks ( Prometheus, Grafana ) and production incident response.


• Understanding of blockchain APIs, DeFi protocols, and RPC node management is highly desirable.


• Knowledge of cloud networking, security best practices, IAM, SIEM tools, and endpoint security on Mac/Linux systems.

Nice to Have

• Experience in crypto trading environments (CeFi, DeFi, or both).



• Familiarity with performance testing tools and practices.



• Experience with supply chain security, secrets management, and secure build pipelines.

Why Join Us?

• Work with a global, high-performance team spanning Australia, Hong Kong, and Europe .


• Take ownership of core infrastructure where uptime and performance directly impact business success.


• Solve complex technical problems at the intersection of finance, cloud computing, and blockchain.


• Operate in a flat, fast-moving environment that values autonomy, impact, and clarity.
  Competitive compensation, flexible working environment, and the opportunity to make a real difference.
