We provide the financial infrastructure that powers the global economy. As a leading provider of market infrastructure and tradable products, Cboe delivers cutting-edge trading, clearing and investment solutions to market participants around the world.\nWe’re building meaningful ways to support professional and personal development while strengthening the trust we’ve earned as a global market leader. Our teams are empowered to share ideas, actively pursue them and bring on a challenge. As champions of internal mobility and access to opportunity, we encourage our people to “go for it” and equip our managers with the training to coach their teams to the next level. We strive to provide employees a safe space to network, share ideas and create opportunities.\nTo support strong partnership and team connection, this role follows a four day in office work model.\n\nLocation Overview\nCboe HQ is located in the historic Old Post Office district, it’s a landmark that blends classic architecture with modern amenities. The building features expansive spaces with high ceilings and large windows, offering an abundance of natural light and panoramic views of the city skyline and the Chicago River.\nWith its prime location in the heart of downtown, the OPO Building provides easy access to major transportation hubs, including Union Station and multiple CTA lines, making it convenient for commuters. The building is home to a variety of amenities, including restaurants, a fitness center, and collaborative workspaces, creating a vibrant and dynamic work environment in one of Chicago's most iconic areas.\nRole Overview\nCboe 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.\nCCUS 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.\nThe 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.\nYour responsibilities will be:\nLeading and growing a team of engineers, including performance management and hiring. \nRemoving platform work from other teams' plates so their engineers stay on domain problems. \nTreating developer experience as an internal product, with the engineering teams as your customers. \nSetting platform strategy and aligning the roadmap to what delivery teams actually need. \nOwning our CI pipelines in GitHub Actions and how they integrate with the platform team's deployment tooling. \nActing as the voice of our application developers to the central platform team, so what they build reflects what our engineers actually need. \nInstrumenting both the delivery pipeline and the services, so delivery health and production health are measured rather than asserted. \nDefining the service level objectives for platform services and running the team to an error budget. \nHolding a bar where repeated manual work gets automated rather than scheduled. \nImproving deployment frequency, change lead time, change failure rate and time to restore service. \nRunning reliability practice, disaster recovery design and the drills that validate recovery objectives. \nAuthoring and maintaining architecture decision records so platform tradeoffs stay visible and revisitable. \nPartnering with information security to move controls earlier in the development lifecycle. \nRequired:\nOwning developer experience end to end, from delivery pipelines through observability and production readiness \nExperience leading platform, developer experience, infrastructure or reliability engineering teams \nHiring and growing a team from a small base \nTreating an internal platform as a product, with engineers as the customer \nA habit of treating delivery itself as a system to be measured and tuned, with the practices to back it up \nReliability engineering experience, including service level objectives, error budgets, recovery objectives and incident practice \nComfort authoring design documents and architecture decision records before implementation begins \nMinimum Work Experience: 8+ years in platform, developer experience, infrastructure or reliability engineering with a bachelor's degree, or 10+ years without a degree, including 3+ years leading such teams \nPreferred:\nDeep experience with Kubernetes, Nomad or similar container orchestrators \nInfrastructure as code discipline and a low tolerance for manual, undocumented change \nRegulated financial infrastructure with formal recovery obligations \nStrong Linux fundamentals and comfort operating production systems under real load \nNice to have:\nCloud platforms including AWS, Azure or GCP alongside on-premise infrastructure \nMoving security controls earlier in the development lifecycle \nStanding up a platform or developer experience function from scratch \nCurrent technology stack:\nJava 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.\nYou 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.\nThis position is not eligible for visa sponsorship. Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship now or in the future.\nSalary Ranges (applicable for US locations only)\nAt Cboe, we are committed to providing a competitive, transparent, and market-informed total rewards program. The anticipated base salary range for this role is $158,950-$205,700, with actual compensation determined by job-related factors such as skills, relevant experience, education, internal alignment, and location.This role may also be eligible for annual incentive compensation and, where applicable, participation in Cboe's long-term equity programs.\nAdditional information about Cboe's total rewards program, including benefits and other compensation components, can be found here: Total Rewards at CBOE.\nAny communication from Cboe regarding this position will only come from a Cboe recruiter who has a @cboe.com email or via LinkedIn Recruiter. Cboe does not use any other third party communication tools for recruiting purposes.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7691,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Government","Law Enforcement","Intelligence"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T12:45:43Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":57,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.763,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":23,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:5","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T03:24:12Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":205700,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ic3-devex-engineering-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ic3-devex-engineering-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T03:24:12Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5322,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":47671},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=47671"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fic3-devex-engineering-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fic3-devex-engineering-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fic3-devex-engineering-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ic3-devex-engineering-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fic3-devex-engineering-manager"}]}
