This environment is similar to Google or a startup, where technology is a top priority, with a significant budget allocated towards tech development. The firm is globally recognized for its rigorous approach, and you'll be surrounded by smart, motivated individuals eager to share knowledge and learn from you.

Our client is a well-known quantitative trading firm and market maker. The team comprises some of the best minds in Windows and PowerShell Engineering.

The company's infrastructure includes a mix of Windows and Linux environments across physical and virtual machines. This role is ideal for a talented Windows Engineer with a passion for problem-solving and a strong focus on PowerShell programming and automation.

As an Engineer, you will focus on platform engineering designs, maintaining the firm's operating systems, authentication systems, databases, virtualization infrastructure, core network services, messaging, and endpoints on both Windows and Linux, in internal and external environments.

Your responsibilities will include the design, implementation, and integration of infrastructure systems on Windows-based platforms.

The ideal Windows Engineer will have:

• A STEM degree
• Extensive experience in Windows systems automation
• Proficiency in PowerShell, with some C# exposure preferred
• An in-depth understanding of the Windows platform and related technologies (e.g., Active Directory, Failover Clustering), along with excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, and familiarity with tracing tools
• Experience with Windows Server applications and management tools such as Exchange, SQL, SCCM, Hyper-V, and ADFS
• Knowledge of network protocols, Linux, and information security concepts
• Experience integrating systems across on-premises and cloud environments
• Experience working with containers on Windows and Linux

This role is suitable for candidates who have had early responsibility in their careers, especially those who have worked in smaller, agile companies with ongoing change. You should be hands-on, experienced in demanding environments, and passionate about technology. In return, you will benefit from an excellent culture, work-life balance, benefits, and competitive remuneration.

Our client is based in London.
