Platform Engineer - Build Real Kubernetes Infrastructure in a Hedge Fund (on prem)

To quote the hiring manager, you’ll have real ownership over what you build here.

You're joining a top hedge fund as a Platform Engineer, building and running the Kubernetes platform (OpenShift-based) that quants and engineers rely on every day.

This isn't about patching things together or firefighting. You'll be designing, automating, and scaling production systems that actually matter. The environment is engineering-led and high performance.

Everything runs on-prem, so you'll be working close to the infrastructure and systems layer. You'll be building developer tooling, removing manual processes, and making sure things are reliable and fast.

The culture is flat, focused on getting things done, and there's no red tape slowing you down.

You'll need solid experience with Kubernetes (OpenShift is ideal), Linux, and production systems.

You're comfortable writing Python or Go to automate and build tooling, you've built serious production systems before and you're hands-on with infrastructure.

This is Zone 1, five days on-site initially, then four days after probation.

The salary is up to £150,000 with a strong bonus on top. Breakfast and lunch are provided.

If you've been looking for a role where you actually own what you build, in a place that values engineering over politics, this could be the right move.
