Finance Executive in Chicago

Company: tastytrade Role: Senior Linux Infrastructure Engineer Location: Chicago, IL — Hybrid About the Role We are looking for a senior Linux engineer who is equal parts operator and builder. You will own the systems layer of our production environment — from the metal to the configuration management code. This is a hands-on role: you will jump into incidents, tackle challenging engineering problems, design systems that scale, and evaluate new software and architectures. This is not a role where the abstractions hide the machine. You are expected to be curious about what is underneath and to be the person other engineers come to when a system is behaving in a way nobody can explain. What You'll Do Own Linux performance. Diagnose and tune systems under real production load: CPU scheduling and NUMA placement, memory and page cache behavior, disk and filesystem I/O, and network stack tuning. Lead troubleshooting on hard problems. Work incidents methodically — form a hypothesis, find the cheapest test that falsifies it, and narrow the search rather than changing five things at once. Write postmortems, organize follow-up tasks, and future-proof the environment so the same issue does not recur. Write and maintain configuration management code. Build infrastructure declaratively with Salt, Ansible, Chef, or Puppet, treating that code with the same standards as application code: reviewed, tested, and version-controlled. Run containerized workloads. Build, deploy, and operate services on Kubernetes or Nomad, including scheduling behavior, resource limits, health checking, and the failure modes that only appear under contention. Automate in Bash and Python. Replace manual runbooks with tooling and streamline repeatable work. Operate core network services. Troubleshoot TCP/IP with confidence and bring solid networking fundamentals. Manage DNS and DHCP as production ser

Department: HR Reports To: Head of People & HR, IGNA Employment Type: Full-Time Salary : $100,000-$130,000 About the Role The People Experience Partner owns the design, delivery, and continuous improvement of programs that shape the employee experience across the full employee lifecycle. This role leads the organization's employee listening strategy, including the annual Energage engagement survey, and turns results into clear insights and measurable action plans in partnership with people leaders. It blends program management discipline with HRBP partnership experience, sitting alongside the Talent Management team with a close working relationship to the HRBP function. This role does not own a client group; the HRBP and Sr. HR & People Manager hold primary relationship ownership across the org. Instead, the People Experience Partner builds the programs, data, and frameworks that HRBPs and leaders use to guide their teams. This means moving quickly, working through ambiguity, and championing people-first initiatives that shape how employees experience their roles, their teams, and the company overall. You thrive in a changing environment where the best ideas win, and you are comfortable with change, ambiguity and authorship of how the People Experience Partner is embedded in the business. You're skilled at helping the organization navigate difficult conversations, bringing the creativity and experience needed to influence how each person feels about their role, their team, and the company's direction. What You'll Do: Employee Listening & Engagement Lead end-to-end administration of the organization's employee engagement surveys (including survey timeline, partnering with Comms Partner, and completion-rate tracking). Analyze survey results to identify themes, trends, and root causes across teams, departments, and demographic cuts; translate raw data into digestible, actionable insights for lead
