About OctoHorizon
At OctoHorizon, we are pioneering advanced algorithmic strategies in the world of high-frequency trading (HFT). Our team of researchers and engineers pushes the boundaries of digital exchange trading through mathematical precision, cutting-edge infrastructure, and speed-focused innovation. We specialize in identifying ultra-short-term inefficiencies across markets by combining deep quantitative research with high-performance systems.
We offer a fully remote, high-autonomy work environment where results speak louder than titles. Our culture values independence, responsibility, and engineering excellence.
Role Overview
We are seeking a talented DevOps Engineer to design, build, and maintain scalable, high-performance infrastructure to support our global trading operations. You will play a critical role in automating deployments, monitoring mission-critical systems, and ensuring the resilience, speed, and security of our infrastructure.
This role involves close collaboration with researchers, developers, and infrastructure specialists to streamline workflows, reduce latency, and support a high-uptime, low-latency production environment.
This is a fully remote position, open to candidates globally. We value outcomes over hours and location.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines to support rapid development and deployment.
Automate infrastructure provisioning using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible).
Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize live systems to ensure high availability and low latency.
Manage cloud-based and on-premise environments across a variety of global locations.
Work with the engineering team to ensure secure, repeatable, and scalable system architecture.
Develop tools and dashboards for system observability, including logs, metrics, and alerts.
Harden systems for security and data integrity across internal and external environments.
Contribute to disaster recovery, incident response, and business continuity planning.
Required Skills & Experience
3+ years of professional experience in a DevOps, SRE, or systems engineering role.
Strong proficiency with Linux systems administration and networking fundamentals.
Proven experience with cloud providers (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) and hybrid environments.
Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD).
Solid knowledge of containerization (e.g., Docker) and orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes).
Experience with IaC tools like Terraform, Ansible, or equivalent.
Strong scripting/programming skills (Python, Bash, or similar).
Ability to work autonomously in a remote, fast-paced, and globally distributed team.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in high-performance, low-latency environments.
Exposure to infrastructure for high-frequency trading or real-time data pipelines.
Familiarity with observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).
Knowledge of security best practices for DevOps (e.g., secret management, RBAC).
Experience with versioned infrastructure, GitOps workflows, or automated testing pipelines.
Comfort with time-series databases and real-time monitoring tools.
What We Offer
Fully remote role – work from anywhere with a stable internet connection.
Direct impact – your work supports live trading systems in production.
Access to cutting-edge tech and performance-oriented infrastructure.
Flat and collaborative team – high autonomy and ownership.
Competitive compensation with performance-based bonuses.
A culture of speed, precision, and continuous improvement.
