Nice To Haves

Strong understanding of modern data pipelining and best practices.
Security Minded - Always looking to decrease security attack vectors.
AI Power Users - Someone who leverages AI effectively, validates outputs, and builds guardrails.
Solution-Oriented - Engineers will have requests and needs; it's our job to make sure they can move as fast as possible.
Prioritize And Act - Be a leader and take stock of what's needed, what will deliver the most value, and propose your own work and path forward.
Humble and Willing to Learn - Be willing to learn from quants, engineers, the ops team, and everyone at this company about everything.
Winner - This is a team sport, and there is a very real scoreboard. We want people who don’t care about scoring the most points. They only care about the team winning and will do whatever it takes.
Disagree and Commit - Your voice will be heard, and so will all your proposals and plans. But once a decision has been made, whether you agree or not, we expect 100% effort in execution.

Responsibilities

Maintain, improve, and optimize a new data pipeline to handle massive scale effectively.
Use 100% IaC to build, maintain, deploy, and manage applications and services.
Decrease latency, increase visibility, and find ways to give us an edge (real financial impact on the business). This means both working with app teams + writing application code.
Lead the company on best practices for infrastructure.
Empower every single developer at Ostium to self-serve: deploy new applications, request new infrastructure, monitor and alert.
Constantly thinking like a hacker who wants to take advantage of our system and bring it down.
Leveraging AI tools and our existing test suite to coordinate contained attacks on our system.
Make the in-hour testing and validation tool for the various parts of our stack locally mature so developers can run their application in 10 different ways locally and work effectively with multiple agents in parallel.
