I'm working on behalf of a leading global quantitative investment firm that’s seeking a Senior Storage Engineer to join their world-class infrastructure team. This role sits at the core of their high-performance research and trading operations, supporting one of the most advanced compute environments in finance. You’ll play a pivotal role in engineering and scaling large-scale storage platforms for high-performance computing (HPC) and AI/ML research. This is a fantastic opportunity for a technically outstanding engineer looking to work in a collaborative, low-ego environment where infrastructure is truly seen as a strategic asset. What You’ll Do: Design, build, and support high-performance storage systems (e.g., NFS, S3, CEPH, GPFS, Lustre, VAST, WEKA, DDN) Collaborate closely with Quant Researchers and AI/ML teams to translate their workloads into scalable storage infrastructure Optimize performance across Linux kernel, storage, and networking stacks Drive benchmarking, tuning, and capacity planning for large-scale, data-intensive workloads Implement and maintain DevOps tooling (Terraform, Ansible, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins) Lead PoCs for new storage technologies and present results to technical leadership Support observability via Grafana, Prometheus, Splunk, and related platforms Contribute to containerization efforts with Docker and Kubernetes (preferred) What We’re Looking For: 8 years of experience in storage systems administration and infrastructure/platform engineering Deep knowledge of storage protocols (Posix FS, NFS, CIFS, S3) and high-performance network architectures (ROCE, Infiniband, kernel bypass) Strong understanding of Linux performance tuning, particularly in HPC or ML/AI contexts Programming/scripting experience in Python, Golang, or similar languages Familiarity with modern observability and monitoring tools (Grafana, Prometheus, Splunk) Experience supporting AI/ML modelling environments is highly desirable Knowledge of container and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) is a plus Proactive, collaborative, and passionate about building world-class infrastructure This is a rare chance to join a firm that treats infrastructure as a first-class citizen. If you thrive in high-performance environments and want to work alongside some of the brightest minds in quantitative finance and research, let’s connect.
