Who you are

You have a strong background in software engineering with a focus on Python — your experience includes designing and implementing systems that manage infrastructure effectively. You thrive in collaborative environments and are eager to contribute new ideas to enhance existing processes. Your commitment to excellence drives you to ensure that the infrastructure is as robust as the algorithms that run on it.

You are comfortable working in Linux environments and have a passion for open-source software — you understand the importance of contributing to upstream repositories and are keen to adopt best practices in your work. You are adaptable and can balance development and operational tasks, ensuring that you meet the needs of the team and the projects at hand.

What you'll do

As a Senior Software Engineer at Optiver, you will participate in the design and implementation of systems that manage our infrastructure.

Your role will involve a mix of development and operational tasks, allowing you to leverage your skills in both areas. You will collaborate closely with other experts in the Linux and Platform teams, ensuring that the infrastructure is reliable and efficient.

You will also be involved in observability and deployment processes, contributing to the overall improvement of the infrastructure platform. Your insights and expertise will help shape the direction of projects, and you will have the opportunity to mentor junior engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement within the team.
