About the role
Old Mission is seeking a Junior Trading Ops/DevOps Engineer to join the Chicago team. You will safeguard the performance of proprietary trading systems and own technical issues in in-house trading apps. The role blends SRE, Operations, and DevOps responsibilities. You will deploy, run, and monitor latency-sensitive applications, automate infrastructure in Python, and triage live incidents in a fast-paced environment. Collaboration with Linux and networking teams is essential.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
