Software engineer jobs in Chicago, IL

About the role

The Algorithmic Trading Team is looking for a Site Reliability Engineer for our Chicago office. We’re looking for a Site Reliability Engineer who thrives at the intersection of software, trading and infrastructure – someone who creates observability that surfaces issues before they ever cause a problem, owns the response when things go wrong, and relentlessly drives automation that eliminates friction and keeps our team focused on our goals.

What you'll bring

• Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent practical background.
• 3-10+ years of hands-on software development or SRE Experience
• Demonstrated experience with observability tools – logging, metrics and tracing
• Hands on development experience in scripting languages like Bash, Python, or Ruby
• An automation-first approach to problem solving – you understand that manual processes don’t scale, and your instinct is to eliminate them before they become a bottleneck.
• Demonstrated knowledge of network communications including comprehensive understanding of the Linux TCP-IP stack, use of multicast networking, and network protocol interactions.
• Solid diagnostic capabilities from the application layer through the network and low-level hardware.
• Experience with network capture and time synchronization.
• High level of ownership and accountability, reliability, and strong follow through.
• Positive AI mentality and experience with AI agents to accelerate SRE tasks.
