The Operations Desk Junior Systems Administrator (JSA), Systems Administrator (SA), or Senior Systems Administrator (SSA) provides first line response for monitoring, diagnosing, and rectifying issues with the computer systems and applications that comprise the trading system. These individuals start and stop the trading environment, monitor the performance and notify users and address issues when problems or questions arise. Procedures are developed by and for the administrators to use to initialize the systems for trading, shut down environments to commence end-of-day processing and clearing functions, and to manage recovery operations when applications or computer or network systems fail. The SSAs and SAs are responsible for responding to requests for information on trading, quoting, or other or other monitoring and evaluation efforts using the log outputs and application management tools to develop reports and data as appropriate.

The SSA has more exposure to and familiarity with the production environments so that he can act independently to identify system abnormalities, lead activity to address problems, and respond without guidance to user requests for tracking of a questionable trade, order, or quote. The SSA may be required to create and maintain procedures for system management. The SSA is also responsible to assist in training the SAs and JSAs, and supervise the SAs and JSAs as they learn to execute procedures and to deal with issues that arise.

Responsibilities:
-Run, manage, and monitor the software and computers that enable the applications to trade on, and receive information from, exchanges, clearing firms, and other providers of information.
-Develop procedures, and monitor conformance to those procedures, to manage the orderly startup and end-of-day actions as well as procedures for structuring response to failures.
-Respond to questions from users and areas regarding errors in trading results, communications, and optimization of environments. Determine resolutions or incorporate other areas to investigate concerns. Coordinate resolutions and apply corrective action to restore accepted system behavior.
-Provide functionally correct and robust solutions for management and monitoring of all applications and environments through the work of the Operations employees, drawing on other employees as appropriate, so that emerging problems can be identified before they are critical, and proactive actions can be taken to avoid failures.
-Maintain contact information using contact logging systems in force.
-Prepare for and respond to situations where software or hardware or remote environments fail. Restore system functionality or provide alternative connectivity to allow resumption of trading.
-Determine the effects of the failure, with assistance from other areas, and apply corrective actions to restore data integrity.
-Create reports and data to monitor and report on trading activity and system behavior to support regulatory compliance, trading optimization, and diagnostic and forensic analysis.
-Knowledgeable in most areas of the system (exchange and subsystem) at most levels (libraries, applications, programmatic connectivity, subsystem configurations, trading environment differences, etc.).
-Mentor others in system management and monitoring practices.
-Contribute to planning sessions regarding how to configure and maintain software and hardware environments and when to change those to support new/enhanced functionality.
-Work with users to gather requirements and develop a project definition and scope.
-Ensure the project data maintained in the Primavera Project Management System is accurate and up to date.
-Create project estimates for accepted projects and provide timely updates to reporting systems as projects progress.
-Ensure conformance to required user communications and project documentation for each project as defined in the PLC.
-Complete work in a timely fashion so projects are completed by the date specified as the end of a project.
-Participate in peer reviews for scripting and tools development as appropriate for self and peer-written written tools.
-Using Perl/Python, create scripts and applications that will help with the day-to-day maintenance of the system.
-Maintain documentation of the configuration of applications and the application distribution status.
-Ensure recovery plans are understood to address release failure due to application problems or configuration and installation errors.
-Respond to questions from users and other areas regarding configuration options and optimization of environments. (SSA:) Determine resolutions or incorporate other areas to investigate concerns. -Coordinate and implement resolutions to achieve the desired application behavior.
-Participate in the planning, evaluation, and testing for disaster recovery.
