About the Role
A well-established, multi-strategy hedge fund is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to join its technology team. This is a design-forward infrastructure role — the focus is on architecting and deploying new systems, not day-to-day operations. Approximately 80% of your time will be spent on engineering work; the remainder on documentation and enabling our support team to operate the systems you build.
This is a high-ownership position with direct exposure to trading and investment technology infrastructure.

• Build and support AI/ML infrastructure, including GPU provisioning and model serving environments
• Produce thorough technical documentation for all new systems
• Train support engineers on systems you design, ensuring smooth operational handoffs
• Partner with software development and investment technology teams

Qualifications
• 7 years of systems engineering experience in a complex, multi-environment organization
• Deep, hands-on Kubernetes expertise — cluster ownership, not just familiarity
• Proficiency in both Linux (RHEL, Ubuntu) and Windows Server environments
• AWS experience strongly preferred (EKS, EC2, VPC, IAM)
• Experience with AI/ML infrastructure a strong plus
• Background in financial services or a similarly complex enterprise environment preferred
• Strong written communication skills — ability to document for non-engineering audiences
