Valstro is a recent (mid-2021) FinTech partnership working to deliver next-gen, Cloud-First, trading solutions to global, multi-asset-class institutional clients. You may call us a startup or a “baby enterprise.” Regardless of the term you prefer, we are a “people-first” company: all the value that we bring to clients will come from the efforts of a collaborative, motivated and well-supported team.
The applications that we are building are highly modular, well-tested, well-documented, and internally discoverable - all of which are, we believe, the not-so-secret sauce that will enable us to scale the product and the business.
Our overarching commercial goal is to shake up an industry that is overdue for tech-driven disruption as we expand our capabilities and reach, pushing established industry practices forward in every respect. We are tackling these challenges because we believe that our clients deserve better, and if that vision appeals to you, then read on.

The successful candidate will serve as an essential link between the wider organization, executive leadership, and external vendors. Their responsibilities will include ensuring system reliability, building and maintaining monitoring solutions for both production and UAT systems, automating operational tasks, responding to incidents, and continuously improving systems and processes.
What will you be doing?

A good portion of the following:
· Strong experience in site reliability engineering, systems engineering, or a related field.
· Proficiency in cloud-based infrastructure (e.g. AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.)
· Experience with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana observability stack).
· Expertise in automation and scripting (e.g., Golang, Python, Bash, Terraform).
· Knowledge of containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
· Ability to effectively communicate and liaise between stakeholders, including internal teams, executive management, and external vendors.
· Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
· Experience in establishing and enhancing reliability engineering practices and processes.
· Capable of operating effectively in a dynamic organizational environment with high delivery and quality expectations.
Despite being a young company, Valstro offers an excellent benefits package with top-tier health insurance, 401k plans and highly competitive overall compensation.
Regardless of where you are sitting, Valstro is a wonderful place to work. Leadership brings a genuine wealth of experience and industry knowledge, and for a young company, we humbly believe that we have our product/market fit very carefully dialed in. As we move to execute and deliver the vision to clients, the Engineering team will need client-obsessed, delivery-focused high performers (with a healthy dose of humility, of course) that we can help grow into the FinTech leaders of the future. If this excites you, we would love to chat.
