Job Title: Platform (Observability) Engineer

Client: Fintech trading

Salary: $250,000 + Bonuses & Benefits

Location: Montreal

A leading systematic trading firm is hiring a hands-on Observability Platform Specialist. Models drive every decision here, which means data is everywhere: huge volumes of market and alternative data, large research compute, and low-latency production trading systems spread across regions. Understanding what all of that is doing, in real time, is a serious engineering problem, and this is the team that solves it.

What you’ll do
Own the metrics, logging, tracing and alerting platform end to end, from collection and ingestion to storage, querying, dashboards and alerts
Build and run telemetry pipelines that handle very high throughput and high-cardinality data across multiple regions
Create automated, self-service tooling so teams can get value from their data without raising tickets
Cut alert noise and improve signal for on-call engineers
Write production-grade code in Python, Go or Rust, including operators,



exporters and pipeline components

What you’ll bring
4+ years in DevOps, SRE or platform engineering
Python and Git, plus Go or Rust
Hands-on experience with a up-to-date observability stack: Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, Vector, Elastic, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, AlertManager
Observability at scale for distributed applications on Kubernetes
Solid Linux, Bash and containers background
Transparent communication, and a degree in Engineering, Computer Science or similar

Nice to have
Ansible or Terraform
ClickHouse or other high-volume time-series/columnar stores
Running high-cardinality telemetry with cost and retention controls

Why this one
Genuinely data-heavy: the telemetry is a big-data platform in its own right
Full ownership of the platform and its direction, not a support seat
Engineers use what you build every day, and the stakes are real
