The Team
We are seeking an experienced Senior Systems Engineer to join our Platform Engineering team. You'll play a critical role in managing, stabilizing, and progressively automating the infrastructure that underpins our global trading and research operations.
Our team is distributed across London, Sofia, and Boston, and operates at significant scale — tens of thousands of cores and hundreds of terabytes of memory supporting Python-based quantitative research and trading systems. We work closely with dedicated network, storage, database, and end-user teams, owning the compute, virtualization, containerization, and operating system layers of our stack.
We are on a meaningful journey: migrating from workloads to OpenStack as our primary virtualization platform, evolving from thick VMs toward lightweight container workloads on Kubernetes, and pushing our infrastructure automation from ~75% toward full IaC coverage.
