Engineering @ VivCourt

Engineering is the backbone of trading here.  We’ve laid a strong foundation, but plenty remains to be done. As an engineer, you’ll own meaningful projects - from refining systems to leading major upgrades - supported by a collaborative team that values well-designed solutions.

We’re looking for pragmatic engineers who are fast when it counts and precise when it matters. 

Join our IT Operations Team

As a key part of our IT Operations team, you will maintain, troubleshoot, and optimize our high-performance, low-latency infrastructure. This role focuses on ensuring the resilience and security of systems located at global exchanges, running on enterprise bare-metal hardware, FPGA-accelerated components, and low-latency network architectures. You'll work directly on infrastructure where nanosecond-level latency decisions have real financial consequences.

Who you are: 

  • You are curious and proactive, and spot issues before they escalate.
  • You are detail-oriented with strong reasoning skills, and you think several steps ahead. 
  • You respond quickly and confidently to problems, adapting solutions on the fly. 
  • With 5+ years in a similar role, you bring experience and precision to complex environments.
  • Proactive & Curious: You spot operational issues before they escalate and actively hunt for improvements.
  • Analytical Thinker: You are detail-oriented with strong reasoning skills, allowing you to think several steps ahead.
  • Agile Problem Solver: You respond quickly and confidently to incidents, staying composed under pressure and making sound decisions fast.
  • Experienced Professional: You bring substantial experience (typically 5+ years) delivering precision and stability within complex, mission-critical infrastructure environments.

What you’ll do: 

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL): Support, tune, and optimize RHEL systems running on bare-metal hardware and hypervisors for low-latency, high-performance execution.
  • Network Operations & HA: Maintain highly available routing and multicast environments using BGP, OSPF, PIM, and IGMP, with hands-on experience across colocation and on-prem switching and connectivity.
  • Security & Resilience: Design and implement security controls and disaster recovery procedures for mission-critical financial infrastructure, with direct input into risk and architecture decisions.
  • Planning & Coordination: Lead maintenance windows and operational upgrades, coordinating across internal teams and external exchanges and colocation providers under time-sensitive conditions.
  • Automation: Improve our  configuration management, observability, and operational tooling (Ansible, Zabbix, Python).
Why VivCourt?
  • No shareholders. Our profits fund social impact.
  • Performance + purpose. We aim to be one of the best trading firms in the world while contributing to a better one.
  • Flat structure, fast decisions. You’ll have access, ownership, and autonomy.
  • People-first culture. Real humans. Low ego. High standards

What We Do

Vivienne Court Trading Pty Ltd (VivCourt) is a proprietary trading company headquartered in Sydney, Australia. Founded by Rob Keldoulis in 2011, VivCourt trades a diverse range of asset classes using its proprietary technologies, market-leading coverage and global connections. VivCourt operates across all trading styles including market making, quantitative trading and positional trading, with a focus on APAC markets. VivCourt is reimagining the purpose of a trading firm. Their mission is to create a people-first culture that allows people to be authentic and curious, ask questions, and work autonomously. Additionally, VivCourt is driving social change, challenging the finance industry with the company's socially conscious approach. Rob Keldoulis, reflects on the company's origins “Trading can be a wonderful career, but there’s no function to it other than to make money. Doctors heal the sick and lawyers practise law, but a trader’s only job is to generate income over and over. After they make their money, a lot of traders have trouble finding meaning in the industry. I wanted to know if it was possible to take what is basically the most capitalist job in the world and create purpose out of it. Could trading become something that also helped make the world a better place?” Since its inception in 2011, VivCourt has steadily grown and established itself as a pioneer in the financial world. Dedicated to maintaining its edge, VivCourt is in pursuit of top-tier traders and technologists, those with the right mix of skill and attitude, to delve into uncharted markets and set new benchmarks in the industry. A testament to our prowess, the Japan Exchange Group (JPX) has honoured VivCourt as the Best Market Maker in Outstanding ETF Market-Making Performance for three consecutive years.
