Systems Software Engineer (Python)
Are you a top-tier Software Engineer with a passion for high-performance systems and a knack for solving complex infrastructure challenges? We are seeking an elite developer to join a rapidly growing, highly respected HFT company that operates at the cutting edge of its industry.
This isn't a typical infrastructure support role. Our client is looking for the top 0.1% of engineers with the technical depth and well-rounded skills often found at companies like Google, Meta, and Netflix, who thrive on tackling difficult OS-level problems.
The role
You will be a core member of an infrastructure engineering team, focusing on developing, maintaining, and scaling the critical systems that power operations. Your primary tool will be Python, used to build robust, high-availability solutions that support their technology ecosystem.
What We're Looking For:
We are specifically targeting engineers who possess a world-class blend of software development and systems knowledge:
Python is essential, including building production-grade, highly reliable systems.
A comprehensive understanding of the Linux operating system, including its internals, performance tuning, and low-level functionalities.
Strong knowledge of networking concepts (TCP/IP, routing, load balancing, etc.) and experience troubleshooting and optimising network performance at the system level.
Experience working on complex, distributed systems, ideally gained at a hyperscaler or Tier-1/Tier-2 technology company known for demanding technical standards.
Proven ability to tackle and resolve deep, complex infrastructure and OS-level issues.
If you have a background in high-speed, data-intensive environments-including highly performant infrastructure in tech, gaming, or financial trading, we want to hear from you.
Why Join?
This is a chance to step into an environment that values engineering excellence and rewards high performance.
Our client offers:
The opportunity to work on mission-critical projects that directly impact the business's success.
A collaborative culture with some of the best engineers in the industry.
A challenging and stimulating environment comparable to the most innovative tech giants.
In addition to competitive total compensation, the firm offers an exceptional benefits package, which commonly includes:
Health and Wellness benefits like fully covered health insurance, dental, vision, life insurance, and mental health programs.
Financial benefits such as a generous pension and performance bonuses.
Office Perks including free daily meals, snacks, drinks, commuter benefits, a fitness stipend or on-site gym, and relocation assistance.
If you are an experienced Systems Software Engineer ready for your next truly challenging role and believe you meet the standard of the world's most selective technology companies, apply today
