London | Competitive base salary + performance-related buy side bonus
Linux | Python | Automation | Networking | Observability | Performance Engineering
The Role:
This is an infrastructure engineering role within a technology-led investment business where the Linux estate sits close to live markets and directly supports business-critical systems.
You will take meaningful ownership of platform design, automation and performance. The environment is large-scale, technically demanding and built for engineers who prefer improving the platform over repeatedly fixing the same operational problems.
What You Will Be Doing:
- Engineer and improve Linux platforms supporting time-sensitive financial systems.
- Build automation that makes infrastructure deployment, configuration and maintenance more consistent.
- Investigate performance across operating systems, networks and applications, then implement practical improvements.
- Strengthen monitoring and observability so issues can be identified before they become business problems.
- Work closely with software engineering and operational teams on platform reliability, releases and production change.
- Influence technical direction, engineering standards and the longer-term development of the estate.
What You Bring:
- Strong Linux engineering knowledge, ideally gained in a large-scale or performance-sensitive environment.
- Hands-on ability with infrastructure automation and configuration management.
- Good Python and shell scripting skills, with the judgement to use code rather than manual processes.
- A solid understanding of networking fundamentals, including how systems behave under demanding traffic and latency conditions.
- Experience investigating system performance, reliability or capacity issues across more than one layer of the stack.
- A collaborative engineering approach, including source control, peer review and clear technical communication.
The Package:
Competitive base salary with a performance-related buy-side bonus and broader benefits package.
The position is London based. Further details on compensation and working arrangements will be shared during the initial conversation.
