I'm curious if there are any DevOps roles specifically in the financial markets. I've got a strong interest in finance—especially macroeconomics and trading—and I've spent four years as a DevOps engineer. I'm looking for ways to blend my DevOps experience with my passion for finance. Do these kinds of roles exist, or would I need to pivot towards areas like MLOps, data science, or algo trading to find opportunities?

Absolutely, DevOps roles in finance are a thing! I ran a DevOps/platform engineering team in this sector, and it’s quite tech-driven, just like other industries. Don’t think of finance as something separate from tech; it’s very much integrated.
True! But sometimes the tech stack can be outdated—like dealing with a lot of FTP mailboxes, which can be frustrating.
