Senior Infrastructure Engineer, Private Cloud | Multi-Billion Dollar Hedge Fund

If you love the deep trenches of IT, the hardware, the storage, the bits most people never see, this is the role.

4 days on-site in NYC is required.

A multi-billion dollar systematic hedge fund in NYC runs its own private cloud. Everyday IT is outsourced, so the in-house team spends its time on the platform the firm actually runs on. That platform is growing, and they’re hiring a second in command to help scale it.

What you’ll own

• Scaling the physical and virtual platform: servers, enterprise storage, virtualisation, capacity

• Reliability, disaster recovery and backup strategy for regulated data

• Costing and sizing new projects, with real say over a multi-million dollar budget

• Automating the routine work with practical Python and Bash

You’ll need

• The ability to build a server from scratch and explain every decision along the way: hardware, storage layout, OS, virtualisation, networking

• Hands-on experience running on-prem or colo infrastructure, not just AWS or Azure

• Strong Linux and virtualisation skills (VMware, KVM, Proxmox, OpenStack or similar)

• A clear view on DR and backup options, their trade-offs, and what changes when the data is regulated

• Commercial sense: what a system costs, why, and whether there’s a better option

Why it’s worth a look

• Second in command of the private cloud, with real influence over how it’s designed and scaled

• Infrastructure at the scale of a $20bn fund, without the corporate IT noise

• Total compensation above market 350k+
