• Supporting CPU and GPU compute infrastructure for demanding research workloads.
• Engineering high-throughput storage solutions for large-scale data processing and simulation.
• Troubleshooting complex performance issues across Linux, networking, storage and compute.
• Automating infrastructure provisioning and configuration using Ansible, Terraform and similar tooling.
• Working with AWS, GCP or Azure to expand compute capacity and improve platform scalability.
• Evaluating new hardware, infrastructure technologies and approaches to HPC optimisation.
• Collaborating with software engineers and quantitative research teams to deliver reliable, high-performance compute environments.

What We're Looking For

• Strong Linux systems knowledge and infrastructure troubleshooting skills.
• Experience with HPC, large-scale compute clusters or distributed infrastructure.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP or Azure.
• Experience witah infrastructure automation using Ansible, Terraform or similar tools.
• Understanding of compute, storage and networking fundamentals.
• Exposure to GPU computing, high-performance storage or cluster management is advantageous.
• Python or Bash scripting experience is beneficial.
• Strong problem-solving skills and an interest in performance engineering and scalable infrastructure.

What Can You Expect?

• Work on the compute infrastructure powering advanced quantitative and options research.
• Gain exposure to large-scale Linux environments, GPU computing and hybrid cloud architecture.
• Solve complex infrastructure challenges across compute, storage and networking.
• Collaborate with highly skilled infrastructure engineers, developers and quantitative researchers.
• Base salary: $200,000-$250,000 USD , plus discretionary performance bonus.
• Comprehensive healthcare, retirement benefits, generous paid leave and professional development opportunities.

Interested in building infrastructure where computational performance really matters? We'd love to hear from you.
