About this role
Da Vinci's Miami office is building out its US trading infrastructure, and this role puts you at the center of that expansion. You'll manage highly customized trading systems that demand both stability and agility—keeping production environments running smoothly while architecting and implementing changes as the operation scales. The work spans system performance monitoring, automation, infrastructure management across Windows and Linux environments, and proactive problem-solving to prevent failures before they happen.
This is a hands-on technical role that requires deep infrastructure expertise. You'll need solid experience with mission-critical systems (ideally in trading), strong scripting skills in bash or Python, and the ability to diagnose complex issues quickly. The company values engineers who are comfortable learning unfamiliar territory and who can communicate technical concepts clearly to non-traders. If you've managed production environments and understand networking, hardware, and incident management practices, you have the foundation they're looking for.
The package includes competitive base salary with performance-based variable pay, potential equity stakes for strong performers, and a comprehensive benefits setup. You'll also get a training period in Amsterdam to integrate with the broader team before settling into the Miami office. This is a chance to join a growing operation where your infrastructure decisions directly support the trading business.
