Operations Engineer (FTC)

Within the first 3-6 months, you are expected to operate independently within the support rota, confidently deploy changes, deliver meaningful monitoring improvements, and act as a trusted operational partner to development teams.

This is not a pure development or platform engineering role. The focus is on operational excellence, service reliability, and ownership, with opportunities to influence tooling, automation, and process improvements as the platform evolves.

Place of Work: This position is based in our London office.

Hours of Work:  40 hours per week. Following an initial training period, the role includes participation in a shift rotation, which may involve late finishes, weekend work, and Public/Bank Holidays.

Responsibilities:

• Provide reliable 1st and 2nd line operational support across London and Mumbai, independently diagnosing and resolving the majority of issues and escalating complex or high-risk incidents where appropriate.
• Proactively improve monitoring, alerting, and operational visibility, implementing enhancements directly or working with development teams as required.
• Deploy, configure, and validate software changes to the Market Data application stack in line with established change and release processes.
• Respond to internal and external operational requests in a timely and professional manner, ensuring appropriate follow-through to resolution.
• Create and maintain clear, accurate operational documentation to support knowledge sharing and consistency.
• Participate in shift rotations, training, and operational activities consistent with the responsibilities of the role.

Requirements:

• We’re looking for a technically capable Operations Engineer with strong troubleshooting skills and a service-focused mindset. In particular, you should bring:
• 2+ years’ experience in a Technical Operations, Production Support, or SRE-aligned role supporting live, business-critical systems.
• Solid experience with Windows Server environments and Wintel-based infrastructure.
• A working understanding of networking fundamentals and common protocols.
• Practical scripting or automation experience using PowerShell and/or Python.
• Hands-on experience with monitoring and observability tools (e.g. Splunk, New Relic, or similar).
• Exposure to CI/CD, infrastructure, or deployment tooling (e.g. GitHub, Bitbucket, Terraform, Kubernetes, Harness, or comparable tools), with the ability to learn new tooling as required.
• Experience supporting cloud-hosted services, preferably within AWS or hybrid environments.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across teams.
• Experience supporting financial services or market data platforms is advantageous but not essential.
