About Engineer’s Gate (EG)
Engineer’s Gate (EG) is a leading investment manager founded in 2014 as a quantitative, computer-driven trading firm. Today, EG operates as a diversified, multi-strategy investment platform that combines systematic research with selective discretionary approaches.
EG’s multi-manager platform allows independent investment teams to pursue distinct strategies while benefiting from shared infrastructure, risk management, and operational support. The firm’s collaborative groups of researchers, engineers, and investment professionals deploy sophisticated statistical models, proprietary technology, and a centralized data platform to isolate and solve challenging problem sets in the global financial markets.
About the Role
The Systems Engineer will join EG’s Systems Infrastructure team, responsible for all layers of technology in our environment—from networking to servers and application services. The role reports to the London Head of Infrastructure.
The firm’s infrastructure is built using modern technologies, with a focus on creating robust, reusable components and the strategic use of automation. As a "flat" team, all members are exposed to — and responsible for — the design, implementation, operation and support of our environment.
