Senior Technical Operations Analyst

In this role, you'll be part of a team responsible for managing and continuously improving the operational

processes that support our technology function. The team's scope and impact are broad, from onboarding

new products into our trading strategies and managing technical work for exchange upgrades to leading

cross-functional initiatives that assess and enhance our operations.

We take full ownership for all processes and projects within our remit, working with leaders to design

them well, drive execution, and evaluate outcomes. You'll continuously balance the need for flexibility - so

engineers can remain effective - with the structure and control necessary to ensure operational

excellence and control risk.

What you'll do

At a glance, your primary responsibilities will be:

* Collaborating with trading, technology, and control teams to drive critical cross-functional projects

from initial discussions through to completion.

* Leading effective meetings with engineering and trading leaders to review incidents, consider

necessary improvements, and plan related efforts - challenging them on emerging themes,

patterns, and risks.

* Partnering with leaders across the technology function to optimize operational processes through

reviews and deep dives (e.g., assessing whether our testing guidelines are consistently followed

in practice).

* Identifying upcoming technology upgrades at exchanges we trade on and coordinating

response to them.

Who you are

* Hold degree in Computer Science (or a similar field) with a proven track record in engineering

and analysis.

* Have foundational Python scripting skills (or similar), and are comfortable building lightweight

tools or automations to aide analysis and operational insights.

* A pragmatic thinker with strong communication skills, and an aptitude for understanding how

complex technical systems work.
