Software engineer jobs in Chicago, IL

About the role

This role is based in our Chicago office. You work US hours with the desks here: understand what they are trying to do, turn that into something they can run themselves, and deal with the production problems that cannot wait for London. You will work with Platform colleagues in London and Asia, and with the Chicago infrastructure and trading technology teams.

What you'll bring

• Around six years in a platform, SRE, DevOps or development role.
• Depth matters more than the exact number.
• Comfortable working with traders, researchers and developers: you can listen to a messy request, find the actual problem, and explain a proposed approach in their terms
• Able to recommend a direction and to say no when the ask is unreasonable or would make things worse
• Persistent follow-up.
• A lot of this job is unfinished conversations across a six-hour gap.
• Production Kubernetes: you have deployed to it, debugged a broken change, and can deal with an incident without waiting for someone else.
• You do not need to have run a fleet.
• Comfortable with GitOps.
• We use ArgoCD, Helm and Kustomize
• Terraform or similar experience transfers.
• Able to write code to automate work.
