Software Engineer - DevOps

The team Bitnomial is building the next generation US-based global derivatives exchange, starting with digital assets and progressively expanding to encompass a full spectrum of commodities worldwide. Bitnomial operates a US CFTC regulated exchange (DCM), clearinghouse (DCO), and brokerage (FCM). It offers a range of crypto-settled derivatives, including futures, options, and a suite of live perpetual futures, used by brokers, hedge funds, institutions, and trading firms around the world. Bitnomial's exchange, clearinghouse, and brokerage systems are written largely in Haskell. In this role you will build the services and data models that record every order, fill, and settlement at a CFTC-regulated exchange and clearinghouse, with the database as a first-class part of the design. You will build features across these systems and design the schema, queries, and migrations behind them. The opportunity Improve build and release pipelines in GitHub Actions: caching, parallelism, pinned toolchains, and required tests and scans before production Manage AWS infrastructure as code with Terraform, and run services as containers on Nomad Build deployment tooling with health checks and automated rollback, and make deploys safe around market sessions Add metrics and alerts to the services you build, so you can see whether a deploy worked Monitor systems, respond to alerts, and support daily operations such as settlement cycles Fix the cause of production issues and write down what you learned Build, test, and ship well-reviewed features and fixes in our services across the exchange, clearinghouse, and brokerage. Most of the code is Haskell Understand the order, trade, clearing, and settlement flows end to end Nice to haves Financial knowledge or experience in trading, markets, or financial services Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent experience Experience with Nomad or Kubernetes Experience with Nix, Ansible, Vault, or Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki Haskell experience Unless a specific application deadline is stated in the job posting, applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.
