We are looking for Systems Engineers to join our growing Research & Development team. This team builds and maintains an exceptionally large and growing distributed compute cluster, a petabyte-scale storage layer, operating systems, automation software, and development tools. Much of our hardware layer and operating system layer reflect the state-of-the-art at any given time.
As a full-time Systems Engineer, you'll work on projects that impact our live trading and research and allow them to run worldwide 24/7. A typical day could include scaling and keeping our High-Performance Computing (HPC) environment running smoothly or designing and building services to improve our research environment, but responsibilities are broad! Your day could also consist of hardware and software installation and configuration, remote administration, monitoring, new hardware and software testing, automation and tool development, and performance tuning.

- Scripting to automate repetitive tasks
- Working with vendors and upstream to resolve issues
- You enjoy tinkering with technology in your spare time
- Ability to manage time efficiently
- Can work independently and as a team player, demonstrating leadership in a flat organization
- Exceptional communication skills - this role will require cross-collaboration with various stakeholders across the company
- You are resourceful, have a sense of urgency, and are motivated to make things better and to always be learning. You don't only want to just get the job done, you always want to deliver the highest quality work.
- 5+ years of relevant experience
- Expertise in installation, configuration, and troubleshooting of Linux systems
- Comfortable using Linux/UNIX command line tools and tuning kernel performance
