Job description

Site Reliability Engineer | Systematic Hedge Fund | London | up to £180k total

If you're an SRE or Production Engineer who wants to get closer to the business, this could be a good next move.

I'm partnered with a leading multi-strategy hedge fund looking for a junior-mid level SRE to provide front-line engineering support to investment teams. You'll work directly with PMs and Analysts, helping them get the most out of the firm's technology while solving the production issues that come with supporting a fast-moving investment environment.

What you'll bring

• 2–5 years' experience in SRE, Production Engineering, DevOps or a similar role


• Strong Linux and Python skills


• Experience troubleshooting and supporting production systems


• Exposure to AWS, Kubernetes or infrastructure automation


• Strong problem-solving and communication skills


• The ability to work comfortably with both technical and non-technical users

Why consider it?

• Work directly with PMs and Analysts rather than sitting behind layers of support


• Get exposure to how technology is actually used within an investment business


• Work with a growing ecosystem of internal GenAI applications


• Combine hands-on engineering with production support and automation


• Build your experience across cloud, platform and front-office technology

If you're an SRE and want to move beyond traditional infrastructure support, this is a chance to get much closer to the technology, users and decisions that actually drive the business.
