IT Manager - Trading Systems

A fast-paced, high-performing proprietary trading firm is seeking an experienced and people-oriented IT Manager to lead and evolve its global IT operations. With technology serving as the foundation for the company's trading success, the role is essential to maintaining a secure, scalable, and high-availability infrastructure across multiple international offices.

This is a leadership opportunity for someone who not only thrives on strategic responsibility but also remains technically engaged—particularly within low-latency, high-performance environments. The successful candidate will oversee a skilled team of system, network, and security engineers, fostering a collaborative and proactive engineering culture.

• Lead, manage, and mentor a distributed IT ops team across multiple time zones and office locations

• Oversee the availability, performance, and security of core infrastructure, including systems and networks

• Act as a technical liaison with trading and software development teams to ensure seamless operations and rapid incident resolution

• Drive the alignment of IT systems, processes, and infrastructure with the organization’s growth trajectory and evolving business needs

• Manage IT projects, vendor relations, and cross-office technology rollouts

• Champion automation, documentation, and knowledge-sharing initiatives within the IT organization

• Maintain high operational standards related to security, access control, backup policies, and compliance frameworks

• Demonstrated experience leading IT teams, ideally in complex and fast-moving environments

• Strong technical foundation in Linux systems, networking (routing, firewalls, DNS), and DevOps tooling

• Familiarity with automation tools (e.g. Ansible, Terraform, Puppet), version control (Git), and CI/CD workflows

• Exposure to trading, fintech, or other latency-sensitive domains is considered a significant advantage

• Ability to combine technical insight with strategic thinking and leadership

• Effective communicator with a pragmatic mindset and team-first approach

This is a great permanent role in Amsterdam, with a base salary of around 120-150K per year (depending on experience) plus bonus (profit sharing).  This job will be mostly onsite in Amsterdam, with some international travel. Relocation and visa can be supported.
