The Role

We are looking for a TechOps/SRE/DevOps Engineer to take ownership of live platform operations and cloud infrastructure reliability. You will work hands-on with Azure-based systems, monitoring performance, managing capacity, and responding to incidents during live trading events.

This role sits at the intersection of operations, infrastructure, and engineering.

This is a highly trusted role with real responsibility during live production events.

• Collaborate with DevOps engineers on infrastructure improvements and automation
• Support SQL-based troubleshooting for logs, performance, and incident analysis
• Participate in post-incident reviews and drive continuous operational improvements

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years of experience in TechOps, Cloud Operations, DevOps, SRE, or similar roles
• Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure/AWS (VMs, app services, monitoring)
• Experience supporting live, production-critical systems under pressure
• Solid MSSQL skills for troubleshooting and log analysis
• Exposure to Terraform or infrastructure-as-code is a strong plus
• Calm, reliable, and structured approach to incident handling
• Strong communication skills and team-oriented mindset

What’s on Offer

• Salary: €80K - €90K (flexible for exceptional candidates)
• Short-term incentive scheme (details shared at final stage)
• High-trust role with real ownership during live operations
• International environment with global collaboration
• Clear pathway toward SRE responsibilities as the platform evolves
