Platform Engineer - OpenShift Kubernetes - Quant Hedge Fund

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.

Requirements

• 4+ years' professional Platform Infrastructure Engineering experience.
• Expertise in OpenShift Kubernetes and Linux. Additional experience with On-Premise Infrastructure i.e. RHEL preferred.
• 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.

This is an outstanding opportunity to join a highly successful and elite Quantitative Hedge Fund Manager, working with bleeding edge technology and world-class colleagues. Compensation is commensurately market-leading as is the firm's record of employee retention/tenure. Our client requires a four day onsite commitment in London SW1.
