Quant Capital is urgently looking for an Lead Linux Platform Engineer to join our high profile client.

Our client is an established fintech on a mission to disrupt the foreign exchange market, applying innovation to tap FX liquidity. The environment is that of Facebook or Google, relaxed open with time to think and make the right decisions. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed with an open dress code. This is a role for techies, those who are motivated by the sharp end of technology and the possibility of making serious money doing something you are passionate about.

The Infrastructure group is responsible for managing and engineering the company’s global solutions for networks, firewalls, servers and storage. The ideal candidate will have experience with the UNIX / Linux operating system and exposure to configuration management tools and cloud services.

  • Providing an ongoing blend of project work and general BAU support services.
  • Ensuring efficient deployment and standard configuration management through automation.
  • Troubleshooting issues and handle incident escalations (occasionally out-of-hours) while promoting production change management processes and procedures.

Lead Linux Platform Engineers MUST have:

  • Good experience of working with Unix and perhaps, more recently, modern cloud technology
  • Substantial experience in the deployment and management of Linux servers
  • Good knowledge of managing virtual machines
  • Demonstrable knowledge of Rest APIs, Git, PKI and SSL certificates, RedHat/Fedora, DNS, Mail, LDAP and kernel-level debugging is also highly desirable
  • Experience in automation and management of platform configuration using Ansible, Python, Puppet or similar
  • Scripting/coding experience

You will be joining a progressive and exciting company committed to excellence. They offer an excellent working environment with on-going training and a structured career path. You can also expect an excellent salary and benefits package.
