    Job Description

    We're looking for a technically strong, business-facing engineer to support a fast-paced front office environment within a leading investment firm. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, infrastructure, and end users-working directly with investment teams to deliver reliable, scalable technology solutions.

    This is a high-visibility opportunity with exposure to trading workflows, cloud platforms, and modern engineering tooling.

    What You'll Be Doing

    • Act as a key point of contact for investment professionals, providing hands-on support and technical guidance across core systems and tools
    • Partner with developers and analysts to improve how applications are built, deployed, and monitored across cloud and on-prem environments
    • Help drive adoption of modern platform technologies (cloud services, containerization, CI/CD pipelines, and workflow orchestration tools)
    • Collaborate with engineering and data teams to streamline processes, automate workflows, and promote best practices
    • Troubleshoot complex production issues, ensuring timely resolution while continuously improving system reliability and support processes
    • Work cross-functionally to identify gaps, enhance tooling, and improve the overall user experience

    What We're Looking For

    • Strong foundation in Linux systems and scripting/programming (Python preferred)
    • Proven ability to diagnose and resolve technical issues in a fast-paced environment
    • Excellent communication skills with the ability to interact directly with technical and non-technical stakeholders
    • Familiarity with cloud platforms, infrastructure concepts, and automation tooling
    • A proactive mindset with a strong interest in learning and improving systems

    Nice to Have

    • Experience in financial services, trading, or other real-time environments
    • Exposure to distributed systems, messaging technologies, or data platforms
    • Hands-on experience with tools across the modern DevOps stack (containers, orchestration, CI/CD, IaC, etc.)
