Goldman Sachs has embarked on one of its most ambitious engineering programs: the Consolidated Trade Ledger (CTL), a ground-up reimagining of the front-to-back architecture that underpins every trade the firm executes. CTL is a flagship initiative jointly sponsored by Global Markets and Engineering leadership, and it sits at the very heart of the firm's core technology strategy. This new, cloud-native platform will deliver the capacity, extensibility, scalability, and innovation capabilities to power the next two decades of growth for Global Markets, while simultaneously driving significant operational efficiencies.

We are seeking a Site Reliability Engineer to help build, run and continuously improve this business-critical service. The role combines software engineering, systems engineering and production expertise to improve the reliability, scalability, observability, incident response and operational efficiency of the CTL platform.

Reliability engineering: SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, incident reduction and service health.

Production excellence: monitoring, alerting, observability, runbooks, handoffs and operational readiness.

Engineering mindset: automation, coding, debugging, testing, scalable design and systems thinking.

Incident leadership: calm execution, escalation discipline, clear communication and blameless learning.
