We’re one of the largest participants in the market, trading across 10+ global locations, facilitating 3-4% of global daily volumes, and have connectivity to over 50 venues. What sets us apart, though, is our culture. We believe in hiring smart people and empowering them to do their best work. From day one you’ll have the autonomy and support to really excel. Our relentless focus on delivery drives us to continuously push boundaries and achieve exceptional results, all while offering abundant opportunities for personal and professional growth in the dynamic realm of digital assets. About the role: We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our globally distributed team and help scale and operate the infrastructure that powers millions of trades daily across CeFi and DeFi venues. You’ll play a mission-critical role in ensuring the performance, reliability, and security of our systems in one of the most demanding environments in tech: digital asset trading. This isn’t just an infrastructure role. You’ll be a key player in building and operating systems where milliseconds matter and downtime is never an option. We need someone who can go beyond automation — someone who understands how low-level performance issues, network latency, and cloud inefficiencies can affect real-world trading outcomes. The position involves participating in a rotational on-call schedule collaborating with team members across Australia, Hong Kong, and Europe, and working proactively to ensure 24/7 uptime and operational excellence. Key Responsibilities: - Ensure the performance and reliability of mission-critical trading infrastructure by proactively identifying and resolving bottlenecks at all layers: compute, network, storage, and application. - Support, operate, and continuously improve highly available, low-latency systems under global trading load, with a strong focus on automation and enabling self-service for internal teams. - Participate in a day-time rotational on-call schedule, handling real-time operational incidents, root cause analysis, and long-term preventive improvements. - Use metrics and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, etc.) to detect anomalies, monitor performance trends, and support incident response. - Build, manage, and scale infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and configuration management tools like Ansible. - Collaborate closely with trading, engineering, and security teams to align infrastructure improvements with application demands. - Implement robust security practices, including IAM, threat detection, and secure CI/CD pipelines, to support high-trust production environments. - Apply low-level optimization strategies to improve throughput, reduce latency, and increase system efficiency across diverse environments. - Work closely with developers, traders and other staff to accomplish our firm’s goals. Requirements: - 5+ years in DevOps/SRE roles focused on high-performance, production-grade systems. - Proficiency in Linux admin and experience in managing AWS cloud infrastructure. - Proficiency with containerized workloads (Kubernetes essential). - Strong scripting and automation capabilities using Python and Bash; knowledge of Go, JavaScript, or TypeScript is a plus. - Hands-on experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana) and production incident response. - Hands-on experience with AWS (essential), Google Cloud, Azure (desirable). - Experience with automation and IaC tools; Ansible, Terraform is essential. - Understanding of performance engineering at both the system and network levels, including tuning, profiling, and capacity planning. - Knowledge of cloud networking, security best practices, IAM and SIEM tools. - While not a requirement, experience working in, or a strong interest in cryptocurrency and finance in general is desired. Nice to Have: - Experience in crypto trading environments (CeFi, DeFi, or both). - Familiarity with performance testing tools and practices. - Experience with supply chain security, secrets management, and secure build pipelines. Why Join Us? - Work with a global, high-performance team spanning APAC, Europe and US. - Take ownership of core infrastructure where uptime and performance directly impact business success. - Solve complex technical problems at the intersection of finance, cloud computing, and blockchain. - Operate in a flat, fast-moving environment that values autonomy, impact, and clarity. - Competitive compensation, flexible working environment, and the opportunity to make a real difference. ## About Auros ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Auros is an algorithmic trading and market making firm that delivers liquidity for digital asset markets, combining proprietary high-frequency trading strategies with partnership-based liquidity solutions. - **Entity Type**: Private (funding stage: Venture; total funding $17M as of March 2023) - **Headquarters**: Hong Kong, Hong Kong - **Founded**: 2019 - **Founders**: Not publicly listed on the website or LinkedIn; leadership team includes Marcel Klooss (CEO), Jason Atkins (Head of Trading), Le Shi (CTO), Brian Norman (CFO), and others. ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Algorithmic trading, market making, liquidity provision in cryptocurrency and digital asset markets (Capital Markets). - **Target customers**: Crypto exchanges, token projects, institutional investors (B2B). - **Mission or purpose statement**: “Making Digital Markets Liquid” – ensuring token stability and market efficiency through algorithmic precision and advanced technology. ## Products & Services - **[Auros Trading – Proprietary Trading]**: High-frequency trading engine that powers internal strategies and provides liquidity across major venues globally.
