Job Description:

We are seeking a Platform Engineer (operating at Principal level) to serve as a cornerstone of a newly formed platform team. This isn’t a role for someone looking to maintain the status quo; this is a mandate to lead a comprehensive, greenfield modernisation of a entire global infrastructure. The organisation has the capital and stability of a premier, consistently profitable hedge fund, but they operate with the high-autonomy, high-velocity spirit of a late-stage startup. In this role, you will bridge the gap between technical vision and business execution, working alongside a peer group of elite engineers from FAANG and top-tier quant shops. If you are a technical polymath who thrives on building from the ground up and wants to own the architectural destiny of a world-class firm, this could be for you.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead a comprehensive, greenfield modernisation of a entire global infrastructure
  • Bridge the gap between technical vision and business execution
  • Own the architectural destiny of a world-class firm
  • Shape long-term strategy and technical roadmap
  • Overhaul entire environment
  • Make high-stakes architectural decisions

Requirements:

  • 15+ years of experience building and operating production infrastructure at scale, with demonstrable progression to principal or equivalent technical leadership
  • You’ve designed, deployed, and operated production-grade Kubernetes clusters in complex environments
  • Strong knowledge across major cloud platforms
  • Experienced in both Windows and Linux environments, with strong systems administration and automation capabilities
  • Comprehensive networking knowledge
  • Great communicator – able to articulate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and business audiences
  • Business-oriented problem solver – you instinctively connect infrastructure work to business value
  • Technical polymath – Genuine breadth across infrastructure domains, comfortable operating as a “Swiss Army knife” engineer
  • Self-directed and proactive – you identify problems worth solving before being asked
  • Collaborative leader – proven ability to lead technical projects in small, agile teams
  • Thrives on variety – energized by touching multiple areas of the business rather than deep specialiation in one domain
What we offer:
  • Highly competitive base salaries
  • Market-leading performance bonuses
