Question related to working as a DevOps Engineer within the trading industry

Salam alaykum team, hope you are well in sha allah.

I have been looking at cloud engineer/devops engineer roles and were wondering if they are halal within the trading industry. I was also wondering if such roles would be halal when working with hedge funds.

I have provided the general descriptions of what a DevOps Engineer would be involved with:

  • assessing current systems and processes, and developing ways to improve them
  • building and setting up infrastructure
  • working with developers and other IT colleagues to oversee code releases
  • writing specification documents
  • testing and examining code written by others and analysing results
  • identifying technical problems and developing software updates and ‘fixes’
  • planning out projects and being involved in project management decisions.

Can you please let me know if such roles would be halal ?
