Senior DevOps Engineer (Java)

Senior DevOps Engineer - Remote

We're seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our team remotely. This role is perfect for a seasoned professional who is passionate about establishing robust quality, reliability, and automation practices platforms. You will be instrumental in designing, building, testing, and supporting infrastructure, CI/CD, and self-service platforms that make releases and environment management predictable and reversible.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and improve observability for critical trading paths through centralized logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, and runbooks to shorten mean-time-to-detect and mean-time-to-recover.
• Create documentation and resources to enable engineers to use platform tools effectively.
• Work closely with Technical Leadership to plan and prioritize platform reliability and developer-experience initiatives.
• Partner with Core and Ops on production readiness, including capacity, failover, environment parity, and safe operational workflows.
• Develop a robust Continuous Delivery practice within the team, prioritizing rapid feedback loops without increasing risk to live trading.
• Lead technical projects including architecture and design decisions, code reviews/pairing, and mentoring of less experienced engineers.
• Assist with hands-on delivery and secondment-style support when rolling out platform changes across teams.

Requirements / Skills

You should bring 5+ years of software engineering experience, including time as a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) or DevOps, with a strong focus on observability and production reliability. Excellent communication skills—written and verbal—are crucial, as you'll need to present ideas clearly and influence technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Deep expertise in observability practices including centralized logging, distributed tracing, and metrics collection—preferably Datadog, or familiarity with Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK, and similar stacks.
• Hands-on experience designing, implementing, and maintaining logging pipelines and monitoring strategies for reliable, scalable, secure systems.
• Proficient with Infrastructure as Code and automation tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK.
• Demonstrated experience designing and managing cloud-native applications and services on AWS.
• Strong understanding of DevOps practices, automation, orchestration, containers, and serverless architectures.
• Experience supporting Java / JVM production services is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with Continuous Delivery practices including CI, test automation, and safe deployment strategies.
• Comfortable working with distributed, global teams and asynchronous collaboration.
• Adept at making rapid, high-quality decisions in fast-paced environments, with a bias toward action and ownership.

If you're committed to continuous learning, especially in observability, reliability engineering, and developer experience, we would love to hear from you.
