Infrastructure Engineer

Infrastructure Engineer (High-Performance Systems) About the Role We are building a next-generation, institutional-grade liquidity and margin management platform. By leveraging decentralized ledger technology under the hood, we allow clients to cross-collateralize assets seamlessly and deploy capital across premium external trading venues without needing to liquidate their core positions. As a core member of our Infrastructure & Platform team, you will design, scale, and optimize low-latency compute, storage, and networking layers. You will bridge the gap between complex backend data structures and real-time execution, ensuring our systems remain resilient under immense market throughput. Key Responsibilities Low-Latency Scripting: Develop high-performance scripts and system services optimized for demanding, real-time financial environments. Resource Management: Deploy, orchestrate, and manage bare-metal/VM compute resources and containerized services for custom integrations. Scalability & Load Balancing: Automate elastic scaling, intelligent load balancing, and traffic congestion control across compute and distributed database layers. CI/CD Pipeline Engineering: Architect robust continuous integration and deployment pipelines to support rapid, zero-downtime rollbacks and continuous delivery. Performance Tuning: Monitor and profile system performance across CPU, memory, I/O, and network stacks to maximize throughput and eliminate bottlenecks. Data Indexing: Build high-speed indexing systems and custom data pipelines to power live, expressive telemetry and user-facing dashboards. Database Optimization: Provision, maintain, and optimize a diverse database ecosystem, including time-series, relational SQL, key-value, and in-memory caches. Requirements Experience: 3+ years of experience engineering production-grade infrastructure in cloud (AWS/GCP) or hybrid on-prem environments. Languages: Strong system-level programming skills, with a heavy emphasis on Rust or similar low-level languages. Containerization & Compute: Deep expertise managing raw compute instances directly (e.g., EC2) alongside container orchestration frameworks (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes). Networking Fundamentals: Solid understanding of VPC architecture, subnets, load balancers, NAT gateways, VPNs, and rigorous network security practices. DevOps / IaC: Familiarity with modern CI/CD tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins) and Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform). Data Architecture: Proven track record working with time-series databases (e.g., TimescaleDB, InfluxDB) and distributed key-value stores (e.g., Redis, DynamoDB). System Profiling: Experience profiling Linux kernel/system-level performance under high-load, concurrent traffic conditions. Compliance: Must be authorized to work in the United States. Compensation & Benefits Base Salary: $185,000 - $250,000 base annual salary (DOE). Equity: Competitive early-stage company equity package. Healthcare: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance with HSA options. PTO: Flexible/Paid vacation and recognized holidays. Retirement: 401(k) plan with a competitive employer match program. Oscar Associates Limited (US) is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy. Show more Show less
