Responsibilities
Application & platform stability: Own the day-to-day running of Crypto Finance's trading applications, ensuring availability, stability, and performance in production. Production incident management: Act as the second-line (L2) owner for production incidents — receiving escalations from first line (relationship managers, operations, trading desk), owning triage and resolution through configuration changes, conducting root cause analysis, and escalating code-level defects to engineering (third line). Release management: Plan and coordinate platform releases with the Cloud team, engineering, and delivery partners — scheduling, change control, pre-release validation, and post-release verification. Client integration & onboarding: Support institutional clients through platform integration and troubleshooting, ensuring each client passes conformance testing certification before going live in production. System configuration: Configure and maintain platform and application settings to meet business and client requirements. Ticket & backlog management: Open, track, and manage tickets for production issues and improvements, and maintain and prioritize the backlog. Continuous improvement: Evaluate platform performance and drive improvements to reliability, speed, and scalability. Delivery coordination: Support the Product Manager on ongoing initiatives and ensure platform upgrades are delivered on time. Stakeholder communication: Collaborate with internal teams (engineering, trading, operations), institutional clients, and delivery partners to ensure the platform meets business needs and issues are resolved promptly. Security & compliance: Ensure the platform adheres to relevant security, regulatory, and compliance requirements, including DORA. Knowledge management: Maintain comprehensive platform documentation and a current knowledge base.
