We are looking for a Unit Lead to take on technical and organizational leadership of the unit and grow it as a single platform rather than three separate teams. This is a "leader of leaders" role, with a focus on strategy, reliability, people, and processes. While you will manage team leads, we expect you to remain technically hands-on—deeply understanding our codebase, system design, and architecture.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical strategy and roadmap of the Hub unit, prioritization, and alignment of the three teams as a single platform.

• Dive deep into complex technical domains, working closely with Architects to resolve critical tech debt and optimize system performance.

• Manage the team leads of UDF, UDF Storage, and DevOps/SRE: development, goal setting, feedback, and growth through grades.

• Own platform reliability: SLO/SLA, availability and latency, on-call culture, incident reviews, and reducing incident count.

• Develop the Disaster Recovery / BCP direction: RTO/RPO, dual-hub and recovery scenarios, regular readiness checks.

• Own capacity planning and scaling, and operations on Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure.

• Run hiring, performance reviews, grade and compensation justifications, and engineer development within the unit.

• Work with stakeholders (product, adjacent clusters) and build cross-team coordination.

• Improve development and delivery processes: planning, metrics, quality, and requirements management.

What makes you the perfect fit

• Experience managing engineering teams, ideally managing team leads/managers (several teams simultaneously).

• Deep knowledge of Go (Golang) and readiness to read, review, and write code when resolving complex architectural issues.

• Strong System Design and Solution Architecture skills, with a solid understanding of OS and low-level technologies.

• Experience with high-load, low-latency services in production.

• Understanding of SRE practices: SLO/SLA, observability, incident management, on-call.

• Confident work with Kubernetes and cloud/container infrastructure.

• Ability to build hiring, review, and engineer growth processes.

• Systems thinking, comfort with ambiguity and prioritization.

• Working-level Russian and English (internal communication and documentation).

Will be a plus

• Experience in finance or trading domain

• Familiarity with TradingView as a product

• Hands-on experience with DR planning and capacity profiling.

• Experience consolidating or reorganizing several teams into a single unit.

• Familiarity with the technologies in the stack below.
