I was doing "devops" for Scottrade's order management system during the exact same time as the Knight implosion. If I remember correctly, the Facebook IPO was a larger mess we had to mop up for our client base...ahh the memories...glad to be out of consumer / retail finance these days.

This is exactly what I liked about consumer finance. The problems were absolutely fascinating, and when dealing with transactional data it was at a near real-time scale that you don't see anywhere else.
Remember when we thought the Twitter IPO was going to wreck us and it turned out to be a big nothingburger
