We're looking for a senior level DevOps Engineer to join a small, high-impact team that builds and operates the infrastructure powering DV's trading systems. You'll work on Kubernetes at scale, a firm-wide observability platform, CI/CD infrastructure, and workflow orchestration.
This team built the entire platform from scratch in 2025 and now owns it end-to-end. You'll be joining at a pivotal moment: the team is growing, the platform is scaling to meet increasing demand across the firm, and there's no shortage of hard problems to solve. You'll have real ownership from day one - not tickets in a queue.
- Cluster lifecycle management via Cluster API, fleet-wide upgrades, bare metal provisioning,
- GitLab pipelines, ArgoCD for Kubernetes deployments, Artifactory for artifact management. Build reusable CI components, improve secrets integration, and support trading desks onboarding to the platform.
- Build and maintain automation for provisioning, configuration management, and self-service tooling that enables teams across the firm to move faster without depending on DevOps for every change.
- Work directly with trading desks and development teams to onboard them to the platforms we build. Write runbooks, contribute to documentation, and help build a sustainable support model as the platform scales.
- Experience with ArgoCD, Flux, or similar GitOps tools. Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or equivalent). Artifact management (Artifactory, Nexus, or similar).
- Terraform and/or Ansible for provisioning and configuration management.
- Strong fundamentals - systemd, networking, storage, performance troubleshooting.
Preferred / Nice-to-Have Qualifications
Why This Role
- This is a growing team that built and owns the entire platform. You'll have direct impact on infrastructure that trading desks depend on daily.
