Director, Site Reliability
About The Position
BIDS Trading operates an alternative trading system for institutional block equity trading, with production environments across the United States, Canada and Europe. We are looking for a Director of Production Operations to own the reliability, release and operational control of that platform - a hands-on leadership role accountable for everything from production deployment and incident response to the regulatory control framework that governs an ATS. You will lead a small, senior team spanning site reliability engineering and database administration, and you will work across environments that are deliberately hybrid: the on-premises environments that carry regulated trading activity, alongside a growing AWS footprint you will help shape and extend. This is a chance to take ownership of a platform that genuinely matters, with real room to modernize how it is run rather than inherit someone else's blueprint.
Requirements
- 10+ years in production operations, technical operations or release engineering, in financial services or another regulated environment.
- 5+ years leading technical teams.
- A bachelor's degree in a technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
- Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship now or in the future.
Nice To Haves
- Experience at an alternative trading system, exchange or broker-dealer.
Responsibilities
- Lead production release and change management.
- Own the operational and regulatory control framework.
- Lead and develop the production operations team.
- Operate and evolve a hybrid production environment.
- Direct the technical response to production incidents.
- Own resilience and disaster recovery.
- Keep the platform current.
Benefits
- annual incentive compensation
- long-term equity programs
