SYSTEMS ENGINEER – AUTOMATION / INTEGRATION (LINUX, PYTHON)

 

 

The Company

A Market Leading, Global High Frequency Trading firm that has offices in multiple locations globally and a reputation for innovative use of cutting edge technologies to capture financial markets opportunities. They have a highly mature, yet casual environment that looks to empower individuals to work autonomously on projects whilst contributing to overall team objectives. Due to significant growth they’re looking for a Systems / DevOps Engineer with a UNIX / Linux base and Automation framework / Continuous Integration expertise (e.g. Puppet, Cobbler, Chef, CFEngine...) across infrastructure and application deployment.

 

The Team

This role sites within an exceptionally talented Systems Integration Engineering team working within a very flat managerial structure. The Integration Team is essentially the glue that brings and holds this complex and dynamic environment together. The trading systems are in-house developed and modified by gifted developers who write very lean, efficient, low-latency code, these modules or enhancements are then tested and handed over to the integration team to deploy via a Continuous Integration / Automated framework. The team is comprised of Engineers with a strong base in UNIX / Linux (Red Hat) platforms, advanced scripting skills (Shell / BASH, Perl, Python, SQL), a deep understanding of how the OS (Linux) and Application layers interface with databases (MySQL) and the Network layers as well as experience building Automation / CI solutions from scratch.

 

The Role

In a nutshell the role itself is to deploy applications and tune the Application and Infrastructure layers in order to achieve the best possible performance and stability. There is a strong focus on Automation for Infrastructure and Continuous Integration for Application deployments so along with your expertise with Linux (Red Hat) and advanced scripting skills (Shell, BASH, SQL, Perl and Python) you’ll draw on extensive experience using various automation tools (Puppet, Chef, Cobbler, CFEngine) to integrate low-latency solutions into this complex, dynamic environment.

 

I’d like to speak to passionate technologists who match the technical requirements and strive to innovate and improve everything they touch. In this environment there’s a lot of scope for creative freedom so you’ll need to be confident in your ability start with a blank canvas and build solutions the ground up. I’m willing to consider up and coming young guns and more seasoned professionals looking for a challenge!
