About the role

The Container Infrastructure team provides scalable on-premises and cloud-based container orchestration services for DRW’s trading desks, data scientists, and enterprise application teams. Our goal is to enable teams to keep focused on their business goals by providing simple, scalable solutions with off the shelf tools and the right amount of focused engineering.

The platform is large: hundreds of clusters, thousands of nodes, and dozens of components.

As a member of this team you will help administer the platform, engage with internal customers and infrastructure stakeholders to ensure the platform remains reliable, performant, and cost-effective.

• Experience working with or administering Kubernetes Clusters.
• Knowledge of networking, storage, and containerization fundamentals.
• Familiarity with AWS and/or Google Cloud Platform.

• Experience with multiple programming languages in both greenfield development and legacy maintenance.
• The position is also eligible for an annual discretionary bonus.
