HFT and Trading firms are largely like any other firms. They have job postings and the skillset they expect is largely what you’d expect.
https://www.virtu.com/careers/ has a devops role listed within the first 10 results on their careers page. It looks like basically any other modern ops job sheet.
Most software written at trading firms is the same as software written anywhere else. The only real differences are on the actual tick to trade path, where you will see the need for FPGA/ASIC programming, very low level network programming and C/C++ systems programming or on the Quant side which can vary widely but typically involves showing PHD level research skills in some hard math/science.
