About this role
Production Reliability Engineer
Our client is a globally leading proprietary trading firm where milliseconds of downtime can move real P&L. They're hiring a Production Reliability Engineer in Hong Kong to keep that platform, and everything feeding into it, steady: closing blind spots long before they turn into incidents, and stepping in to run the room the moment one does.
What You Bring to the Table
- Background: Time in SRE, NOC, trading ops or another first-line role. Bonus points for financial services.
- Crisis Credibility: You've run major incidents before and can hold a room, seniority in it or not.
- Clear Under Pressure: Sharp triage instincts, plain-spoken updates a trader and an engineer both understand.
- Tech Range: Comfortable across Linux, networking, and the usual observability stack: PagerDuty, Grafana, Prometheus.
- Scripting: Python (Bash/Go welcome), aimed at automating triage, not shipping product.
- Nice to Have: Kubernetes, Docker or GCP exposure.
What it's for You
- Authority: You're Incident Commander, full stop, deciding who's on the call and how it runs, regardless of who else is in the room.
- Entry pedigree: Join a firm with a long, proven track record at the top of the trading world, not a startup still finding its footing.
- Elite Colleagues: Work shoulder to shoulder with some of the sharpest traders and engineers in the industry.
- Cross-Beam Weight: Standing to push traders, engineers and infra teams alike when standards slip.
- Compounding Impact: Every gap you close makes the next incident smaller, and it's your name on the fix.
