Job description

We’re looking for a Cloud Engineer

with a passion for public cloud, automation, and configuration management to join our world-class team. PDTers are creative, energetic, friendly, entrepreneurial, and collaborative. If you could walk around our office, you’d see that we’re a focused, intent, and nimble company with none of the attitude and bureaucracy of a stereotypical Wall Street trading firm. Our engineers love to work on challenging and complicated problems, and in return, they have a chance to make a direct impact on our bottom line. For the right talent, there is fantastic growth potential.

Quality cloud infrastructure is crucial to PDT’s growth and success. As a member of our Core Engineering team, you’ll architect and build our next-generation cloud platform, ensuring all our PDT engineering teams have access to the cloud on top of a performant, consistent, well-monitored, and secure platform. In addition to building the cloud platform, you’ll collaborate closely with engineering teams, helping their applications work well with the cloud.

PDT Partners has a 30+ year track record and a reputation for excellence. Our goal is to be the best quantitative investment manager in the world—measured by the quality of our products, not their size. PDT’s very high employee-retention rate speaks for itself. Our people are intellectually extraordinary, and our community is close-knit, down-to-earth, and diverse.

Responsibilities:

1. Manage and improve our current-generation cloud platform, leveraging scripting and automation tools.
2. Design and architect PDT’s next-generation public cloud platform.
3. Partner with engineering teams to understand their requirements and facilitate onboarding of their applications onto PDT’s cloud platform.
4. Use DevOps and infrastructure as code methodologies to realize the cloud platform.
5. Work with on-prem systems engineers to seamlessly bridge on-prem Linux, storage, and network infrastructure with the cloud.
6. Coordinate changes to core public cloud infrastructure.

Skills and experiences we value:

• 2+ years of programming experience, including 2+ years working with highly relevant public cloud technology. Systems engineering with a Linux focus is a plus.
• Significant experience with cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS), including automation, configuration management, and CI/CD.
• Well-developed Python and Bash programming skills.
• Strong technical curiosity and passion for technology.
• Excellent planning skills.
• Ownership mentality.
• A customer-focused outlook.

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field from a strong academic program.

The salary range for this role is between $195,000 and $225,000. This range is not inclusive of any potential bonus amounts. Factors that may impact the salary include years of experience, level of education, skill set, and other external factors.
