Trade Platform Operations Lead

Team: Hands-on team lead with hiring authority

About the Role

We are looking for a Trade Platform Operations Lead to take end-to-end ownership of our MT4/MT5 platform operations.

The current environment is outsourced and experiencing client-facing incidents with direct financial impact. Your first priority will be to establish reliable uptime and incident baselines, then build the monitoring, recovery, and operational capabilities needed to bring MT4/MT5 fully in-house.

This is a hands-on turnaround and build role with direct CEO visibility and significant autonomy.

Key Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of MT4/MT5 infrastructure, stability, uptime, and performance.
  • Audit the existing setup and establish reliable uptime, incident, and MTTR baselines.
  • Build monitoring and observability using Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, or equivalent.
  • Develop incident-response, recovery, and preventive-maintenance playbooks.
  • Lead critical production incidents and root-cause analysis.
  • Reduce client-facing incidents and improve platform reliability.
  • Build and manage a small 24/7 platform operations team.
  • Hire, mentor, and establish timezone coverage and escalation procedures.
  • Manage relationships with MetaQuotes, Microsoft, and infrastructure vendors.
  • Support network-access and infrastructure initiatives required for independent platform operations.
  • Report reliability metrics, risks, and progress directly to senior leadership.
  • Transition MT4/MT5 operations from outsourced to fully internal ownership.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience operating MT4/MT5 infrastructure for a broker, prop firm, or similar trading environment.
  • Strong production troubleshooting and incident-management experience.
  • Experience with monitoring/observability tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, Zabbix, or ELK.
  • Experience creating runbooks, recovery procedures, and preventive-maintenance processes.
  • Experience managing or leading a technical operations team, ideally with 24/7 coverage.
  • Strong infrastructure, networking, and server knowledge.
  • Experience working with external infrastructure/platform vendors.
  • Ability to work independently and make decisions during high-severity incidents.
  • Strong communication skills and comfort reporting directly to executives.

Nice to have: Forex, CFD, crypto, equities, FIX, liquidity-provider, trading gateway, or broker infrastructure experience.

Success in the First Year

  • Establish the first reliable MT4/MT5 uptime and incident baseline.
  • Significantly reduce client-facing incidents and MTTR.
  • Implement comprehensive monitoring and recovery playbooks.
  • Build a reliable 24/7 operations team.
  • Reduce dependence on outsourced platform operations.
  • Establish sustainable vendor and infrastructure management.

Why Join

  • Direct CEO access and real operational authority.
  • Build the function from the ground up.
  • Fully remote with no timezone restrictions.
  • Performance bonus linked to measurable uptime and incident improvements.
  • Opportunity to become the long-term head of platform operations.
