Role Overview
Cboe Clear U.S. (CCUS) is a regulated clearinghouse. We clear the event contracts and prediction markets listed on Cboe's exchanges, and we are building toward tokenized collateral, 24x7 operation, and the infrastructure that carries traditional finance onto DeFi rails.
CCUS Software Engineering is a high trust environment. We treat failure as a source of learning, and we expect engineering teams to work across team boundaries rather than only within their departments. We solve the problem, then we write the code. Design documents and architecture decision records come first. The engineers we value most close their feedback loop. They write tests, and they instrument what they ship so it fails fast, explains itself in production, leaves an audit trail and rolls back cleanly.
The DevEx Engineering Manager owns the internal platform the rest of engineering delivers on. Our Engineering Manager owns delivery of clearing product; you own what they deliver it on. If a product team is blocked on tooling, infrastructure or a deploy, that is yours to solve, and developer productivity is the outcome you are measured against. You would lead a small team and grow the function around it over the next year, with a strong hand in hiring.
Your responsibilities will be:
Required:
Preferred:
Nice to have:
Current technology stack:
Java on Kubernetes. Application code and CI pipelines live in GitHub with GitHub Actions. Container images and build artifacts live in registries such as Harbor and Artifactory, and Helm charts are deployed by ArgoCD from a GitOps repository. PostgreSQL, Kafka and Linux. This is representative rather than exhaustive. Our platform team runs the deployment platform on its own tooling, in its own repositories, so a real part of this role is integrating cleanly across that boundary and telling them what our application developers need.
You do not need experience with every technology in our environment. We hire for competencies over pedigree, so if you have built similar systems and learn quickly, we encourage you to apply.
