As a DevOps Engineer, you’ll be at the heart of our trading infrastructure — ensuring every system powering our trading, CFD, and brokerage platforms runs with peak reliability, scalability, and security. You’ll collaborate with trading, quant, operations, and backend teams to maintain high availability, automate deployments, and optimize real-time infrastructure performance. In this role, you’ll champion continuous improvement in monitoring, fault tolerance, disaster recovery, and compliance to meet the demanding standards of global trading environments. Familiarity with MetaTrader, MetaQuotes, or similar trading-platform ecosystems will give you a strong advantage as you help us build and sustain a world-class trading operation.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Cloud Infrastructure Excellence
  Architect, deploy, and maintain AWS/Azure infrastructure to ensure high availability, disaster recovery, optimized networking, performance, and cost efficiency.

• Containerization & Orchestration
  Design, build, and manage Docker containers; orchestrate services using Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/equivalent); manage scaling, rollout strategies, and cluster health.

• CI/CD & Deployment Automation
  Implement, operate, and enhance CI/CD pipelines for services and trading platform components; manage deployment workflows, staging/production environments, and rollback strategies.

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
  Use Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, or similar tools to define, version, and manage infrastructure reliably and consistently.

• Server Administration
  Operate and administer both Linux and Windows server environments, ensuring stability, performance, and security.

• Monitoring & Observability
  Set up metrics, logging, tracing, and alerts; perform capacity planning and performance tuning to maintain system health.

• Troubleshooting & Incident Response
  Diagnose network, OS, and application-level issues; lead incident response and root cause analysis to minimize downtime.

• Collaboration & Documentation
  Work closely with trading engineers and backend developers; support low-latency, real-time systems; create architecture documentation, run-books, and standard operating procedures.
