Process & Team Leadership • Build and lead a structured support function with clear runbooks, escalation paths, and SLAs • Mentor junior support engineers and promote operational best practices • Drive a culture of proactive support vs reactive firefighting • Establish documentation standards for systems, processes, and incident learnings

Leadership & Stakeholder Management • Prior experience leading or mentoring support teams • Ability to communicate effectively with traders, quants, and engineers • Strong ownership mindset with the ability to operate under pressure
