The Systems Engineer will join the Systems Infrastructure team of a leading quantitative investment firm, which is responsible for all layers of technology in our environment, from networking, to servers, and application services, reporting directly to the Head of Infrastructure. The firm's infrastructure is built using modern technologies, with a focus on creating robust, reusable components and strategic use of automation. All team members have exposure to, and are responsible for, design, implementation, operation and support for our environment.

The Systems Engineer will initially focus on day-to-day system administration and supporting end-user systems, with an opportunity to grow into working on other parts of our systems infrastructure over time, ultimately managing large projects on their own. The ideal candidate will demonstrate both technical aptitude in areas they have worked in previously and the ability to think systematically and reason about problems they have not yet seen. While new team members will receive support and mentorship from other members of the team, they will also be expected to perform research independently and propose both solutions to problems that arise and efficiencies to current processes.
The job provides exposure to:

• A large, Linux-centric, multi-tenant public cloud environment
• Configuration management tools such as Ansible, and infrastructure management tools such as Terraform
• Heavy use of cloud-managed services (DBaaS, IaaS, etc.) to offload undifferentiated maintenance work from the team
• Databases of various shapes and sizes, including relational databases, columnar databases, NoSQL, etc.
• User-facing systems in various shapes and sizes (Windows, Macs, Linux endpoints, physical and virtual)
• A SaaS-heavy corporate environment that favors flexibility and agility over legacy on-premise technologies
• Cloud-native video-conferencing and phone systems
• Various storage technologies including object storage, file share systems, and cloud-based platforms such as Sharepoint

Desired Skills, Qualifications and Experience:

• Undergraduate degree in CS, EE, or related field.
• 1-5 years total professional experience in technology related field
