Summary
A platform engineering support role focused on maintaining reliable production infrastructure, troubleshooting complex technical issues, improving automation, and collaborating with engineering teams in a high-availability environment.
Highlights
Opportunity to support critical production systems, work across cloud and automation technologies, and gain broad technical exposure in a collaborative engineering environment.
Description
Join a team where your work directly impacts a global trading business.
We're partnering with a fast-growing digital asset and financial technology firm that's building institutional-grade trading and investment infrastructure.
Backed by one of the world's most established financial institutions, the business combines the pace of a startup with the stability and resources of a global organisation.
As the company continues to expand its US technology presence, we're looking for a Platform Support Engineer to become a key member of the Platform team, providing technical support across critical production infrastructure that underpins a global business operating around the clock.
This is a unique opportunity to work in a highly collaborative engineering environment where you'll have real ownership, broad technical exposure, and the chance to influence how platform support evolves as the organisation grows.
The Role
This isn't a traditional IT support role, and it isn't purely project-focused DevOps engineering.
You'll be the first point of contact for infrastructure and platform issues, working closely with software engineers, traders, data teams and business users to keep critical systems running smoothly.
You'll troubleshoot complex production issues, support cloud infrastructure, improve automation, and identify opportunities to make the platform more reliable and efficient.
You'll be joining a small, experienced Platform team where everyone contributes across the technology stack, meaning you'll gain exposure to cloud infrastructure, automation, observability, security and production operations from day one.
What You'll Be Doing
Own infrastructure support requests from initial triage through to resolution.Support production environments running across AWS and on-premise infrastructure.Troubleshoot Linux, networking, cloud and application issues.Maintain and improve infrastructure managed through Terraform and Ansible.Support CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI.Work with Docker and Amazon EKS-based workloads.Use observability tools including Prometheus, Grafana and OpenSearch to investigate production issues.Build trusted relationships with engineering and business teams through responsive, high-quality support.Improve operational processes through automation, documentation and self-service tooling.Participate in a shared on-call rota supporting business-critical infrastructure.
What We're Looking For
You'll likely have experience in a Platform Support, DevOps, Infrastructure or Site Reliability Engineering role with strong operational responsibilities.
We're interested in people who have experience with:
AWS production environmentsLinux administration and troubleshootingTerraformAnsibleDocker and/or Kubernetes (EKS)GitLab CIPrometheus, Grafana or similar monitoring platformsNetworking fundamentals and production troubleshooting
Just as important as your technical skills are your communication and problem-solving abilities.
You'll enjoy working with people, take ownership of issues, and remain calm under pressure while supporting business-critical systems.
Experience within financial services, trading or other high-availability environments would be advantageous, but isn't essential.
