Responsibilities

- Provide production support for critical internal trading, integration, and event-driven messaging platforms across user-acceptance and production environments.

- Diagnose and resolve application, messaging, infrastructure, connectivity, latency, throughput, and data-delivery issues; coordinate escalations with subject-matter experts and external vendors as needed.

- Communicate clearly and promptly with trading staff and internal stakeholders during incidents, platform disruptions, releases, and exchange-related events.

- Partner with global teams across North America, Europe, and APAC to deliver seamless production support coverage and coordinate incident, problem, change, and release-management activities.

- Monitor platform health, identify emerging risks, and strengthen operational readiness through dashboards, alerting, capacity planning, runbooks, post-incident reviews, and root-cause analysis.

- Design, implement, administer, and support Solace PubSub+ event-driven integration solutions, including event brokers, message VPNs, client profiles, queues, subscriptions, ACLs, certificates, authentication, authorization, and monitoring.

- Establish and maintain event-driven architecture standards for topics, schemas, versioning, security, retention, resiliency, and lifecycle management; use Solace Event Portal and AsyncAPI-based practices to govern reusable event contracts.

- Develop source-controlled automation, configuration, and operational tooling using Python, shell scripting, GitHub, Artifactory, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code practices to improve reliability, observability, deployment, and recovery procedures.

Requirements

- Experience supporting business-critical production systems in a fast-paced environment, ideally within financial services, trading technology, or another highly available enterprise setting.

- Hands-on experience with Solace PubSub+, including broker configuration, queues, topics, subscriptions, ACLs, client connectivity, routing, and operational support.

- Strong knowledge of event-driven architecture, asynchronous messaging, distributed systems, and integration patterns, including one or more of JMS, AMQP, MQTT, REST, WebSocket, or SMF.

- Strong Linux skills, including command-line troubleshooting, log analysis, process management, networking fundamentals, and shell scripting.

- Strong Python and shell scripting skills, with experience automating platform operations, environment management, configuration, deployment, monitoring, validation, or recovery.

- Experience with GitHub and Git-based workflows, including pull requests, branching strategies, CI/CD practices, and artifact repositories such as Artifactory.

- Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex incidents across application, messaging, infrastructure, and network layers, while communicating effectively with technical teams, business stakeholders, and trading staff.
