About Us:

Founded more than 15 years ago and headquartered in Chicago, the DV Group of financial services firms has grown to more than 450 people operating throughout North America and in Europe. Since spinning out of a large brokerage firm in 2016, DV Trading has rapidly scaled as an independent proprietary trading firm utilizing its own capital, trading strategies, and risk management methodologies to provide liquidity to worldwide financial markets and hedging opportunities to commodity producers and users. Now, DV group affiliates include two broker dealers, a cryptocurrency market making firm, and a bourgeoning investment adviser.

You'll work cross-functionally with DevOps, Systems, Networking, and Trading teams to support both greenfield deployments and production operations. This role includes participation in a shared on-call rotation.

  • Work with the team to support replication, backup verification, and failover procedures
  • Maintain a security-first mindset by adhering to access control policies and proper change management practices
  • Share on-call responsibilities with the Database Engineering team, supporting 24/7 availability of critical systems

Requirements:

  • 2+ years of experience supporting SQL-based and NoSQL database systems in a production environment
  • Rapid problem-solving skills with a proven ability to move from root cause analysis to resolution under time pressure
  • Working knowledge of database internals, replication strategies, and backup methodologies
  • Comfortable with Linux command-line tools and scripting in Bash; Python scripting experience is a plus
  • Experience with database observability and motivation to improve performance and operational visibility
  • Familiarity with concepts like HA, DR, and PITR; ability to participate in recovery exercises and production support
  • Clear communicator with a collaborative working style and the ability to engage with engineers, traders, and business stakeholders
  • Self-starter with strong attention to detail and the drive to improve systems through automation and documentation
