Role OverviewBitnomial is hiring a Clearing Operations Specialist to keep production clearing infrastructure running: monitoring, incident response, deployments, and tooling. The role sits between operations and engineering, working across databases, containers, cloud services, and the internal scripts that tie them together. This is hands-on systems work in a regulated clearing environment where uptime and correctness directly affect capital flows.
This role includes on-call responsibilities. Clearing infrastructure operates on market schedules, which may require coverage outside standard business hours.
Core RequirementsSystems & Operations- Linux proficiency: command line, log analysis, process management, system configuration
- Experience monitoring production systems and responding to alerts (Grafana, Prometheus, or similar)
- Comfort supporting production deployments and releases
- Incident response instincts: triage, diagnose, resolve, document
Infrastructure- Cloud infrastructure experience (AWS preferred)
- Containers and orchestration: Docker and either Kubernetes or Nomad
- Shell/Bash scripting for automation and operational tooling
Data- Working knowledge of PostgreSQL or MySQL: writing queries, reading schemas, understanding data flows
- Ability to trace issues through application logs, database state, and system metrics
Programming- Proficiency in at least one programming language
- Background in Rust or Haskell is a plus but not required
Baseline ExpectationsCandidates should be able to:
- Diagnose problems across the stack (application, database, container, network) without waiting for someone else to narrow the scope
- Write and maintain operational scripts and tooling that other people depend on
- Operate with discipline in systems that handle real capital under regulatory constraints
- Take ownership of incidents through resolution and follow up with prevention
Not every requirement above needs to be met on day one. But the fundamentals (Linux, SQL, scripting) are non-negotiable. The rest can be developed on the job with initiative.
