About the role
Picture this - you join a smaller trading firm and the network is yours to own.
No ticket queue or corner of someone else's design. Yours to rebuild. With under 60 people in the business, things move quickly and there's no red tape or unnecessary bureaucracy.
You'll join a team of three, reporting straight into the Head of Infrastructure, so when you have an idea, it gets built.
You'll lead a varied run of projects: firewall upgrades, a new remote access solution and web security gateway, Ansible automation, and Prometheus and Grafana dashboards.
You'll be hands-on with FortiGate, Arista and AWS, working closely with traders and quants, and you'll see exactly how your work keeps the business running.
Location: Liverpool Street (5x days per week on site, 4x after probation)
