Senior DevOps Engineer
Location: Hong Kong OR Remote APAC
Type: Full-Time

About us
At Auros, we’re dedicated to advancing the cryptocurrency ecosystem through unparalleled liquidity and market-making services. We’re one of the largest participants in the market, trading across 10+ global locations, facilitating 3-4% of global daily volumes, and have connectivity to over 50 venues.
About the role
We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our globally distributed team and help scale and operate the infrastructure that powers millions of trades daily across CeFi and DeFi venues. You’ll play a mission-critical role in ensuring the performance, reliability, and security of our systems in one of the most demanding environments in tech: digital asset trading.
This isn’t just an infrastructure role. You’ll be a key player in building and operating systems where milliseconds matter and downtime is never an option. We need someone who can go beyond automation — someone who understands how low-level performance issues, network latency, and cloud inefficiencies can affect real-world trading outcomes.
The position involves participating in a rotational on-call schedule collaborating with team members across Australia, Hong Kong, and Europe, and working proactively to ensure 24/7 uptime and operational excellence.
Key Responsibilities
- Ensure the performance and reliability of mission-critical trading infrastructure by proactively identifying and resolving bottlenecks at all layers: compute, network, storage, and application.
- Support, operate, and continuously improve highly available, low-latency systems under global trading load, with a strong focus on automation and enabling self-service for internal teams.
- Participate in a day-time rotational on-call schedule, handling real-time operational incidents, root cause analysis, and long-term preventive improvements.
- Use metrics and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, etc.) to detect anomalies, monitor performance trends, and support incident response.
- Build, manage, and scale infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and configuration management tools like Ansible.
- Collaborate closely with trading, engineering, and security teams to align infrastructure improvements with application demands.
- Implement robust security practices, including IAM, threat detection, and secure CI/CD pipelines, to support high-trust production environments.
- Apply low-level optimization strategies to improve throughput, reduce latency, and increase system efficiency across diverse environments.
- Work closely with developers, traders and other staff to accomplish our firm’s goals.
Requirements
- 5+ years in DevOps/SRE roles focused on high-performance, production-grade systems.
- Proficiency in Linux admin and experience in managing AWS cloud infrastructure.
- Proficiency with containerized workloads (Kubernetes essential).
- Strong scripting and automation capabilities using Python and Bash.
