DevOps/SRE Intern

About the role

Founded in 1980 as Aardvark Financial, TransMarket Group (TMG) is a privately held global markets proprietary trading firm in Chicago. We use next-generation technology to capture opportunities around the world and manage risk in financial markets. Our mission is to bless others through the services we provide and through the generous stewardship of the wealth we create. TMG is a well-established and profitable business as a respected member of the global financial system for over 40 years, but also is like a startup because the potential of our group is at least one order of magnitude greater than what we are currently producing. We have an entrepreneurial culture and collaboratively develop our business with patience and discipline; we work hard, learn constantly, and relentlessly improve our expertise. As a DevOps/SRE intern, you will be a part of a team which directly works on projects that span every level of our technology stack at TransMarket Group. From developing systems that automate the building, testing, and deployment of latency-sensitive trading applications, to designing and implementing critical back-office data flows and applications, your work will enable us to systematically improve our software. This, in turn, will tighten feedback loops and accelerate application development, directly contributing to increased P&L at the firm. While closely interacting with our global technology teams, you'll need to strike a careful balance between reliability and innovation. Given the breadth of the projects you will be involved in, no two days will feel the same. The ideal candidate will be self-driven and excited to learn about our trading operations from top to bottom.
