Role Overview

The individual will form part of a small team responsible for the support of global trading applications. The Support Engineer plays a critical role in help maintaining the stability, performance, and operational reliability of a complex global trading platform, having a deep knowledge of the good practise. The role requires deep technical and functional expertise for resolution, escalated issues, supports global operational workflows across multiple regions, and ensures the platform runs consistently throughout daily trading cycles.

This position involves monitoring system health, analysing incidents, coordinating changes and releases. It requires strong troubleshooting skills, an understanding of electronic trading workflows, and the ability to collaborate effectively with a wide range of technical and business teams.

The Support Engineer ensures seamless daily operations, rapid incident response, accurate stakeholder communication, and proactive identification of risks or emerging issues. The role is both technically hands‑on and operationally engaged, requiring a structured mindset, situational awareness, and the ability to operate confidently in a fast‑moving, globally distributed environment.

As the platform and operating model continue to mature, this role will increasingly contribute to a Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)-aligned support model, with greater emphasis on automation, observability, reliability metrics, and systemic reduction of operational toil. The successful candidate will help shape this evolution while continuing to ensure the stability of critical trading services.

This role provides a strong pathway toward future SRE responsibilities as the platform and operating model continue to evolve.

Role Responsibilities

• Own and lead investigation of complex production issues, ensuring clear root cause and permanent remediation.

• Own production health for assigned services, overseeing monitoring, alerts, and runtime behaviour.

• Own operational readiness for assigned platforms and trading‑day stability.

• Champion improvements to observability, alerting quality, and service health visibility.

• Own production impact assessment for changes and releases, ensuring risk is understood and mitigated.

• Lead technical response during major incidents, acting as the production authority for diagnosis and recovery.

• Champion post‑incident reviews, ensuring preventative actions are defined and delivered.

• Own and drive systemic reliability improvements based on incident trends and failure patterns.

• Lead cross‑team collaboration, influencing engineering decisions from a production perspective.

• Champion automation and tooling enhancements to reduce toil and improve MTTD/MTTR.
