A rapidly growing and newly founded arm of a global trading and investment firm is seeking an experienced Infrastructure Engineer to join its US business. Following the successful expansion of its international trading operations, the firm is investing heavily in its New York platform and is looking for its first dedicated Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of a critical infrastructure estate supporting front-office trading activity.

The successful candidate will thrive in a hands-on environment, enjoy solving complex infrastructure challenges, and bring an automation-first mindset.

Build greenfield infrastructure rather than maintain legacy systems
