Our client is a leading global investment bank, currently growing their Site Reliability Engineering function as part of a broader technology transformation. This is a hands-on role embedded in the Fixed Income & Commodities space, supporting front office trading systems where uptime and speed genuinely matter.

• Partnering with dev/engineering teams to build and improve trading infrastructure
• Identifying and owning automation opportunities across deployment, management, and observability
• Participating in design reviews and operational readiness exercises
• Working on a follow-the-sun model with regional and global colleagues

What they're looking for:

• 2–5 years of application support experience in financial services
• Solid hands-on skills in Linux, Bash, Python, and SQL
• Comfort with distributed systems and high-availability environments
• Someone who thrives in fast-moving environments and takes real ownership
• Strong communication skills — you'll work across both tech and business teams
• Knowledge of Fixed Income products is a plus

This is a great fit if you want depth in trading technology, exposure to a globally scaled environment, and room to grow both technically and professionally.
