  • Bridge Dev & Ops: Participate in code reviews and influence the SDLC to ensure reliability is baked in from the start.


👤 Who You Are:

  • Experienced: 5+ years in SRE, DevOps, or Production Support (Finance/Trading experience is a massive plus).
  • Troubleshooter: You have a "detective" mindset when it comes to logs, network packets, and system bottlenecks.
