Platform Engineer (X2) with expertise in OpenShift Kubernetes, CI/CD, Linux and GitLab sought by a large Quantitative Hedge Fund to support further business growth.
This a newly created team separated out of a Core Infrastructure function with a focus on Platform Engineering, Developer Tooling, plus some Production Operational Support. The team collaborate heavily with diverse stakeholders – typically peer Technology teams (Data, Software and Infrastructure), Quantitative Development, as well as Quantitative Research. This is a highly lean and flat, non-hierarchical business which has very little in the way of siloes – unlike many of their industry peers – and therefore engineers are fortunate enough to take ownership of projects and relationships end-to-end across the firm. This operating model requires strong collaboration, communication and stakeholder management skills.

- Strong CI/CD and GitLab, working with Development teams.
- Programming / automation proficiency in at least one language (Python, Go, PowerShell, C…)
- Experience of planning around Production environments and Kubernetes deployments.
- Windows and Storage knowledge and experience useful but not essential.
- Financial Services experience is helpful but not a hard requirement.
- Communication skills, drive and passion for Engineering and Technology essential.
