The Opportunity

We are looking for a Platform Infrastructure Engineer to help build, run, and scale the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) foundation powering our high-performance trading exchange. In this role, you’ll work directly alongside senior engineers to design automated infrastructure, manage production Cloud, Kubernetes environments, and deliver developer-friendly tooling.

This is an exceptional growth opportunity for an engineer who wants to master cloud-native infrastructure at scale, deepen their expertise in low-latency systems, and accelerate their career in the digital assets industry.

What You’ll Do:

  • Execute Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Write, test, and deploy modular Terraform code to provision safe, repeatable cloud environments on GCP and other cloud providers.
  • Support Production Kubernetes: Maintain and optimize Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters, supporting containerized services with focus on uptime, networking, and scaling.
  • Integrate and utilize AI-powered tools to enhance platform operations: Apply LLM-based coding assistants to accelerate infrastructure provisioning and debugging. As well as managing and improving the AI platform used by all teams.
  • Enhance CI/CD & Developer Experience: Collaborate with application development teams to streamline CI/CD pipelines and accelerate code deployments to production.
  • Troubleshoot & Respond: Participate in incident response, dig into root causes alongside senior team members, and build long-term fixes to prevent recurrence.
  • Optimize Cloud Resources & Cost Efficiency: Balance cloud spend with high performance, scaling efficiency, and strict security standards.
  • Drive Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with development, operations, and security teams to define robust cloud architecture and champion industry best practices.
  • Expand Developer Self-Service (Backstage IDP): Build and enhance our Backstage internal developer portal to streamline workflows and boost productivity across all engineering teams.

Experience & Qualifications:

  • Proven expertise in designing and managing cloud environments, including compute, storage, networking, and security components.
  • Solid working knowledge of containers and orchestration tools (Kubernetes, Docker, etc.) in production or staging environments.
  • Experience with infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar.
  • Understanding of continuous integration/deployment platforms (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD).
  • Understanding of networking fundamentals (VPCs, DNS, load balancers, firewalls).
  • Eagerness to learn, strong problem-solving skills, and a disciplined approach to reliability and security.
  • Effective communicator who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced team environment.

Preferred:

  • Applicable cloud certifications, such as Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect or AWS Certified Solutions Architect.
  • Ability to automate tasks using Python, Bash, or Go.
  • Exposure to financial technology, crypto systems, or high-volume web platforms.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
