About the opportunity
We are partnering with a leading global proprietary trading firm to hire an experienced Production Operations Engineer for its Sydney technology team.
This role sits at the intersection of production engineering, SRE and trading systems support. You'll work closely with traders, software engineers and infrastructure teams to maintain the reliability, performance and scalability of business‐critical trading systems operating across APAC markets.
The environment is highly technical and rapid‐moving, with a strong focus on Linux, automation, troubleshooting and continuous improvement.
What you'll be doing
Support and maintain complex Linux‐based production and trading systems
Troubleshoot production incidents and performance issues in real time
Deploy, monitor and maintain proprietary trading applications
Use Python or similar scripting languages to automate operational processes
Analyse incidents and identify opportunities to improve reliability and reduce manual intervention
Work closely with development teams on releases, production changes and system improvements
Support networking, colocation and exchange‐connected infrastructure
Help ensure appropriate redundancy, capacity and resilience across production environments
Improve monitoring, deployment and operational tooling
Contribute to system architecture and configuration standards as the environment scales
Support the rollout of new trading products, systems and exchange connectivity
What we're looking for
Strong Linux experience within complex production environments
Background in Production Engineering,



SRE, Application Support, Systems Engineering or a similar role
Strong troubleshooting skills across applications, systems and infrastructure
Python or similar scripting experience for automation
Understanding of networking fundamentals
Exposure to CI/CD, deployment and version control tooling
Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL is beneficial
Ability to work effectively during high‐priority production incidents
Strong communication skills and experience working across technical and business teams.
Experience within high‐frequency trading or electronic trading is highly regarded but not essential. Engineers coming from other large‐scale, highly available or business‐critical production environments will also be considered.
Why consider the opportunity?
You'll be joining a highly technical engineering environment where production reliability directly impacts the performance of the business. The role provides exposure to low‐latency systems, trading infrastructure, networking, automation and production engineering at significant scale.
The position also offers strong compensation, performance‐based bonuses, ongoing technical development and relocation and visa sponsorship where required.
Working hours are primarily standard business hours, with rotational weekend coverage to support trading activities and testing.
If you're an experienced Production Engineer, SRE or Application Support Engineer interested in moving closer to high‐performance trading systems, we'd be interested in hearing from you.
