What you'll do
You'll take end-to-end ownership of our trading infrastructure:
•Build, maintain, and optimize server and network infrastructure
•Configure and maintain VPNs, private networks, routing, firewalls, and secure connectivity between infrastructure components
•Manage infrastructure across AWS, Hetzner, and dedicated/bare-metal environments
•Automate provisioning and configuration
•Improve infrastructure reliability, performance, fault tolerance, and security
•Optimize systems for performance-sensitive trading workloads
•Build and improve monitoring, observability, and alerting
•Evaluate new technologies, providers, hardware, and architectural approaches
•Work closely with developers and the trading team to understand where infrastructure can improve the performance of the overall trading stack
What we're looking for
•Hands-on experience setting up Kubernetes on bare metal (Hetzner, private DCs, or similar) — not just managed clusters like EKS/GKE
•Solid command of Prometheus, Grafana, and a logging stack (Loki / ELK / equivalent)
•Production experience with both Ansible and Terraform
•CI/CD pipeline design for container images (GitLab CI / GitHub Actions / ArgoCD / similar)
•Understanding of ML infrastructure specifics: GPU nodes, job queues, large datasets, long-running jobs
•Ability to read and assess legacy infrastructure code and make pragmatic decisions about what to reuse vs. rewrite
•Independence — this is a sole-infrastructure role on the project
Nice to have (bonus scope)
•Experience with trading/HFT infrastructure, low-latency systems, advanced networking, bare-metal optimization, or high-performance computing would be a strong advantage
•VPN setup, network policies, secrets management (Vault)
•Familiarity with ML tools
What we offer
•Office-based work in Limassol, Cyprus, working closely with the core team
•Full ownership of the infrastructure — you'll have the freedom to shape, improve, and rethink the systems you work with
•Real engineering freedom — propose new tools, providers, hardware, network setups, automation, or architectural changes if you believe there's a better way
•Challenging trading infrastructure — work with performance-sensitive systems, dedicated servers, networking, and infrastructure where speed, reliability, and efficiency actually matter
•Direct impact — infrastructure improvements can directly affect the performance and reliability of our trading systems
•Competitive compensation, based on your experience and technical level
