Job Description:

Observability Engineer | Electronic Trading Platform

Are you an observability engineer who wants to own and improve services, rather than just maintain them? Would you rather run Kubernetes on bare-metal than click through a cloud console?

Our client is looking for an Observability or Monitoring Engineer to join its small platform engineering team, supporting their business-critical electronic trading platform in London.

What will you do?

Improve and own observability across the platform using Prometheus, Grafana and OpenTelemetry, automate away manual processes, and build self-service tooling for engineering and security teams.

What will you need to know?

  • A real track record of implementing and improving observability tooling in production
  • Solid Kubernetes knowledge, ideally from on-premise or bare-metal environments
  • Strong automation skills in Python & Linux, Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD

Splunk and trading environment experience are a bonus.

4 days pw in office. £90,000 – £115,000 base (DOE) + bonus + generous benefits.
