A leading global investment firm is looking for a Junior EUC Engineer to join its technology team in London.
This is an opportunity for a curious, technically minded junior engineer to work directly with traders and portfolio managers while developing towards Infrastructure, Automation and Platform Engineering.
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional helpdesk role.
You'll start with hands-on EUC and desktop support, but quickly gain exposure to PowerShell, Python, automation, Infrastructure as Code, Linux, Kubernetes, cloud and AI.
The team values engineers who ask “Why are we doing this manually?” and look for ways to automate, improve and fix problems at the source.
What You'll Do
- Support traders, portfolio managers and business users.
- Troubleshoot Windows, hardware, software and infrastructure issues.
- Automate repetitive tasks using PowerShell, Python or similar.
- Build scripts, tools and solutions to improve the user experience.
- Contribute to infrastructure and automation projects.
- Gain exposure to IaC, Linux, Kubernetes and cloud technologies.
- Work alongside experienced infrastructure and platform engineers.
- Continuously improve processes and eliminate operational toil.
What You'll Need
We're more interested in curiosity and potential than years of experience.
You could be a graduate, junior engineer or have 0–2 years' experience. A degree isn't essential.
We're looking for someone who is:
- Genuinely passionate about technology.
- Analytical and naturally curious.
- Proactive and keen to learn.
- A strong communicator, comfortable with senior users.
- Interested in coding, scripting or automation.
- Ideally familiar with PowerShell, Python, Windows or Linux.
What Will Make You Stand Out?
Personal projects count.
GitHub projects, home labs, Raspberry Pis, scripts, automation projects or anything you've built yourself can be just as interesting as professional experience.
The Career Path
The goal isn't to keep you in EUC.
As you develop, there's scope to move into:
When you're an ambitious technologist looking for a role that can be a launchpad into broader engineering, this could be a great fit.
