Preferred qualifications:

Experience supporting trading systems or desks at a large investment bank.

SQL proficiency for rapid data validation and incident triage.

Experience with object-oriented programming and microservices-based Java/SOA environments.

Monitoring/alerting setup and tuning (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Kibana, PagerDuty).

Familiarity with DevOps/CI/CD practices and agile delivery.
