About The Position

IEX is looking for our next Systems Reliability Engineer – The right person for the job will be an insatiably curious tinkerer with technical chops, who has done this type of role before. Bonus points if you take an interest in the stock market, though finance experience is not necessary - only a willingness to learn all about the inner workings of the market is required. In this role, you will be constantly optimizing and automating our processes and systems to improve reliability, scalability, and maintainability. Plus, you will take on real-time responsibilities, such as monitoring, incident management, and recovery. Coding and scripting are part of our daily life (we like python, bash, ansible and rust). You will be exposed to how our technology interacts with the business to gain a deep understanding of application logic and business data workflows. Experience with any layer in our stack (Linux, Java, C++) is highly beneficial, particularly around the areas of performance and capacity. Experience in an agile environment is a plus, and a willingness to tackle the challenge of innovating within a regulated environment is key.
