Full Job Description

Group Overview

The TP ICAP Group is a world leading provider of market infrastructure.

Our purpose is to provide clients with access to global financial and commodities markets, improving price discovery, liquidity, and distribution of data, through responsible and innovative solutions.

Through our people and technology, we connect clients to superior liquidity and data solutions.

The Group is home to a stable of premium brands. Collectively, TP ICAP is the largest interdealer broker in the world by revenue, the number one Energy & Commodities broker in the world, the worlds leading provider of OTC data, and an award winning all-to-all trading platform.

The Group operates from more than 60 offices in 27 countries.  We are 5,300 people strong.  We work as one to achieve our vision of being the worlds most trusted, innovative, liquidity and data solutions specialist.

Role Overview

The individual will form part of a small team responsible for the support of global trading applications. The Support Engineer plays a critical role in maintaining the stability, performance, and operational reliability of a complex global trading platform. The role requires deep technical and functional expertise for resolution, escalated issues, supports global operational workflows across multiple regions, and ensures the platform runs consistently throughout daily trading cycles.

This position involves monitoring system health, analysing incidents, coordinating changes and releases. It requires strong troubleshooting skills, an understanding of electronic trading workflows, and the ability to collaborate effectively with a wide range of technical and business teams.

The Support Engineer ensures seamless daily operations, rapid incident response, accurate stakeholder communication, and proactive identification of risks or emerging issues. The role is both technically handson and operationally engaged, requiring a structured mindset, situational awareness, and the ability to operate confidently in a fastmoving, globally distributed environment.

As the platform and operating model continue to mature, this role will increasingly contribute to a Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)-aligned support model, with greater emphasis on automation, observability, reliability metrics, and systemic reduction of operational toil. The successful candidate will help shape this evolution while continuing to ensure the stability of critical trading services.

This role provides a strong pathway toward future SRE responsibilities as the platform and operating model continue to evolve.

Role Responsibilities

  • Investigate and resolve escalated production issues using structured troubleshooting, log analysis, and system behaviour diagnostics.

  • Monitor the health and performance of global trading applications, responding to alerts, incidents, and operational risks across regions.

  • Support critical operational processes including Start of Day, End of Day, and environment readiness for global trading cycles.

  • Maintain and continuously improve monitoring, dashboards, and alerting to enhance visibility, early detection, and operational decisionmaking.

  • Participate in change and release activities, including deployment support, impact assessment, validation, and postchange review.

  • Coordinate and support major incidents, ensuring clear triage, effective communication, and controlled recovery.

  • Analyse recurring incidents and operational patterns to identify systemic issues and contribute to longterm reliability improvements.

  • Contribute to the evolution of the support function toward an SREaligned operating model, with increased focus on resilience, automation, and production readiness.

  • Identify opportunities to reduce manual operational effort through automation, tooling improvements, or process refinement.

  • Participate in postincident reviews, contributing to blameless root cause analysis and tracking preventative actions with engineering and platform teams.

Experience / Competences

Essential

  • Educated to degree level or equivalent combination of education and experience.

  • Solid understanding of AWS operational environments, including load balancers, regional failover behaviour, instance lifecycles, and managed databases.

  • Experience of supporting business critical front/mid office applications.

  • Deep knowledge of market data flows, instrument definitions, pricing mechanisms, and sessionbased connectivity.

  • Ability to interpret complex application logs and diagnose backend issues with accuracy and speed.

Operational & Analytical Essentials

  • Strong rootcause analysis capability with the ability to evaluate symptoms, isolate faults, and determine remediation paths.

  • Solid experience in incident management, majorincident coordination, and structured problemsolving.

  • Demonstrated ability to work across regions, managing concurrent issues, escalations, and stakeholder communications.

  • Clear understanding of changemanagement disciplines including risk assessment and deployment validation.

  • Familiarity with observability tooling (e.g., Grafana, CloudWatch, ELK, Splunk), including metrics, logs, dashboards, and alerting used to assess system health and reliability.

Collaboration Essentials

  • Proven ability to work across multidisciplinary teams (Business, Operations, Developers, DevOps).

  • Strong customerfocus and ability to communicate complex technical issues in a businessfriendly manner.

  • Comfortable supporting global operations and adapting to multiregion workflows.

Reliability & Platform Engineering (Evolving)

  • Demonstrated interest or experience in applying SRE principles such as reliability metrics, automation, and continuous improvement within a support or operations role.

  • Experience contributing to improved mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to restore (MTTR) through better observability, tooling, or process.

  • Understanding of the balance between feature delivery and operational stability in business-critical systems.

Desired

  • Solid experience supporting trading platforms, financial exchanges, or realtime transactional systems.

  • Reasonable exposure to FIXbased workflows, messaging pipelines, or marketconnectivity architectures.

  • Experience working within AWSnative or hybridcloud financial environments.

  • Reasonable experience collaborating with frontoffice trading desks or broker support teams.

  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, or automated deployment frameworks.

  • Exposure to SRE concepts such as SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, or reliability metrics within a support or operations context.

  • Experience improving platform resilience through automation, monitoring enhancements, or operational tooling.

  • Familiarity with failure scenarios, recovery patterns, or high-availability strategies in distributed systems.
