===================

Who we are

Optiver is a global trading firm focused on market-making; we take pride in  
our people and our technology. From our Sydney office, we trade across the  
APAC region and due to continued growth we are constantly on the lookout for  
talented and passionate people. Although trading is our game, our technology  
helps us to achieve our goals. Our IT team works closely with trading to help  
guide and drive our business and therefore is an integral contributor to our  
success.
Our IT team is growing rapidly and our exciting growth brings exciting new  
challenges around the scalability of our development process. Our practices  
and tools are continually evolving and we're constantly looking for ways to  
make delivering our software faster, safer, and more efficient.

What you'll do

This role sits within a newly created team that will champion increased  
agility and time to market, working with our many product teams to optimise  
their software delivery process and tools. As team lead you'll help us to  
understand the benefits continuous delivery could bring to Optiver. You'll  
guide our strategic direction via consultation with a range of teams and  
stakeholders across our IT organisation and lead projects working alongside  
our many delivery teams to implement CD practices for their products. You'll  
be involved in building a small core team of practitioners acting as our  
local experts and advocates

We believe the new continuous delivery core team will become a nexus of  
expertise upon which other teams can draw for advice and guidance as they  
continually drive to improve the efficiency of their developers,  
operations/infrastructure engineers and ensure that their software delivery  
is as risk-free and auditable as possible. The core team will undertake  
implementation projects alongside product teams to assist the transition to a  
CD process and discover how to best apply modern tools for build, test and  
environment automation to our varied workflows within some of the unique  
constraints inherent to high-performance, low-latency software.
This team will identify shared patterns across teams and develop new tools to  
support them in addition to taking ownership of a range of our existing  
products and services in the automation and continuous integration space.

Who you are

You might be an experienced developer who believes that the process of  
building, releasing and supporting software is just as important as writing  
code. You might be an infrastructure engineer who believes that everything  
should be automated to support a rapid development process. Either way,  
you're probably currently working with a high-performing team rapidly  
delivering bug-free software in an agile, DevOps, automated environment. You  
deploy complex, integrated software to production multiple times per day  
without breaking a sweat.
You've been involved in medium-large development organisations practicing  
continuous delivery (and seen some that aren't). You have a deep appreciation  
of the benefits CD can bring to the delivery process and understand the  
process of transitioning a whole organisation to this way of working. You've  
seen some of the pitfalls along the way and know how to guide delivery teams  
around around them.

Must haves

•	An evangelistic love of continuous delivery.
•	Considerable experience working in a CD / DevOps environment.
•	Strong influencing skills.
•	Consultative approach to stakeholder management.
•	Experience leading small teams and managing agile delivery projects.
•	Hands-on experience with environment automation and configuration  
management tools like Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Vagrant, Docker.
•	Hands-on experience with virtualisation (ideally AWS).
•	Solid Unix knowledge (ideally CentOS 5/6/7).

Nice to haves

•	Python (our go-to tool for custom automation and scripting).
•	Knowledge of C++ / C# / Go (the majority of our software uses these  
languages).
•	Experience with automated testing.
•	Automation of Windows environments and .NET applications.
•	Hands-on development experience (to understand and empathise with the  
team's customers).
•	Experience configuring and supporting the Atlassian tool suite  
(Bamboo/Jira/Stash).
