We are establishing a substantial presence in Sofia, intended to develop a centre of excellence, fostering seamless collaboration and integrated workflows among teams, we aim to drive innovation and establish a leading edge in the industry.

Job Summary

As an Infrastructure Engineer here, you’ll be faced with a wide variety of challenges. You’ll be building and maintaining the infrastructure that our business relies on and interacting directly with the teams that will benefit from what we are creating.

This is an opportunity to collaborate with some of the most talented infrastructure engineers in the business, along with DevOps engineers, quantitative developers and researchers. We’re a diverse team spanning the UK and the US. We believe we get a lot of value out of working closely together and removing barriers.

We’re proud to build on and contribute to Open Source projects. It’s our belief that these let us improve our productivity and the quality of platform we provide. We value the transparency and spirit of open source, and try to live by those values here at the company. We actively contribute to open source software and encourage our coworkers to think about what we can return to the community. We help run events such as PyData London and the London Machine Learning meetup in that spirit.

We value a passion for technology and see leading edge techniques as a part of keeping the business at the forefront of its field. You’ll be doing work on HPC architectures, cloud technology, high performance storage as well as monitoring and visualisation techniques.

This is a hands-on technological role which also includes advising and guiding teams on architecture relating to our infrastructure.

 

Overview

We’re looking for people who have a broad knowledge of infrastructure technologies, and we’re interested in hearing if you bring a particular expertise into the team.

We’re a distributed team, which will require strong communication skills, and the ability to help set and keep priorities and manage time spent.
