Jobbeschreibung

Most platform engineers spend their days putting out fires. This role is about building the thing that stops them starting.

A top hedge fund is hiring a Platform Engineer to design and run the Kubernetes platform its quants and engineers use every single day. The hiring manager put it simply: “you’ll have real ownership over what you build here.”

They meant it. Infrastructure is the product, and the internal Engineering and Quant teams are your customers. You’ll build the self-service tools that let dev teams move fast at the platform layer without queuing up behind you. You’ll also sit right at the heart of how the fund is scaling with AI, and you’ll become the go-to AI expert in the group.

Everything runs on-prem, so you’ll be close to the metal: automating away manual work, building developer tooling, and keeping production systems quick and reliable. The culture is flat and practical. Good ideas get built, not buried in meetings.

You'll need Solid Kubernetes experience (OpenShift is a bonus), strong Linux and production systems knowledge, and Python or Go for automation and tooling. You’ve built serious systems before and you like getting your hands dirty with infrastructure.

• Zone 1, five days on-site to start, dropping to four after probation.
• Up to £150,000 plus a strong bonus, with breakfast and lunch covered.
