Systems Engineer
We have partnered with a well-renowned global investment manager that has built a reputation for combining strong investment performance with a highly sophisticated technology environment. Technology is treated as a core function rather than a back-office service, with engineers given meaningful ownership and exposure to business-critical platforms.
They are now looking to hire a Systems Engineer into the London team, offering the chance to join a high-calibre environment with broad technical exposure, strong internal investment in technology and genuine scope to take ownership of increasingly complex infrastructure.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Owning and improving infrastructure across Linux, cloud and user-facing systems
- Automating systems and operational workflows using scripting and Infrastructure-as-Code
- Troubleshooting complex issues across servers, endpoints, cloud services and internal platforms
- Delivering infrastructure projects from design through to implementation
- Working closely with senior engineers and users across the investment business
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We’re Looking For
- 3-7 years of strong systems, infrastructure or platform engineering experience
- Excellent Linux fundamentals and hands-on public cloud experience, ideally AWS
- Strong scripting ability in Python, Bash, PowerShell or similar
- Experience with automation tooling such as Terraform, Ansible or equivalent
- Strong technical judgement, curiosity and the ability to solve unfamiliar problems independently
- A strong academic background in Computer Science, Engineering or another technical discipline
Experience across Windows, Active Directory, databases, containers, endpoint management or financial services is useful, but not essential.

Why This Role
The attraction here is breadth, ownership and technical quality. You’ll be working in an environment where infrastructure engineering genuinely matters to the business, where strong engineers are trusted with real responsibility, and where you are not boxed into one technology or support function. For someone who wants to move closer to a high-performance investment environment and accelerate their exposure across cloud, systems and automation, this is an unusually strong opportunity.
If the idea of working in a fast-paced environment with genuine hands-on ownership from day one appeals to you, either apply directly or send your CV to zaakir.khan@mondrian-alpha.com.
