Windows Platform Engineer
Location: London, UK
Salary: £80,000 + bonus
The Company
Our client is a global investment firm with a dynamic, demanding trading environment. Their Technology Infrastructure team runs the whole hybrid platform: office and EUC environments, trading and core services in co-location data centres, and public cloud.
The Role
You’ll join the London-based Infrastructure and Platform Engineering team, you’ll work across Windows, virtualisation and related technologies, delivered on-premises, hosted and in the public cloud. The focus is on system integration, support and continuous improvement, with an emphasis on standardisation, repeatability, automation and orchestration.
You’ll cover business projects, and work with senior engineers to develop your skills in solution design, scoping and architecture. This suits someone earlier in their Windows platform engineering career who wants broad exposure to a wide range of technologies in a fast-paced environment.
