Role Overview
We’re representing a world-leading quantitative investment firm seeking a highly capable technologist to join its Founder’s Office - a unique, high-trust environment operating at the intersection of advanced technology, engineering, and executive support. This is not a traditional support role. It is a broad, hands-on position suited to a strong technical generalist who enjoys solving varied and complex problems across systems, software, and security. You’ll work directly on a wide range of technologies - from endpoint environments through to automation tooling and internal applications - while also contributing to wider engineering and security initiatives across the firm...
Key Responsibilities
- Provide end-to-end technical support across a diverse and high-performance technology environment
- Design and build internal tools and automation to streamline workflows and reduce manual overhead
- Configure, maintain, and troubleshoot desktops, laptops, and mobile platforms across multiple operating systems
- Contribute to the development of lightweight applications and utilities to improve operational efficiency
- Apply and uphold strong security practices across devices, systems, and workflows
- Support and enhance monitoring, administration, and maintenance tooling
- Evaluate new technologies and recommend improvements based on practical use cases
- Leverage modern tooling, including generative AI, to accelerate development and productivity
- Participate in broader infrastructure and security projects across the organisation
- Operate as a trusted technical problem-solver across a wide range of ad hoc challenges
What You’ll Bring…
- 3-7 years’ experience in a technical role spanning systems, engineering, or security (flexible for exceptional candidates)
- Strong generalist skillset across operating systems such as Windows, Linux, and/or macOS
- Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language (e.g. Python, PowerShell, C#)
- Experience building tools, scripts, or lightweight applications to automate workflows
- Solid understanding of systems administration fundamentals, including hardware, OS, and user environments
- Strong troubleshooting ability across both software and infrastructure layers
- Exposure to cloud platforms or modern engineering environments
- Interest in improving user experience through technical solutions rather than manual processes
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to operate in high-trust, user-facing environments
- (Preferred) Experience in either:
- Internal software development or automation-focused engineering
- Infrastructure or endpoint security (e.g. threat detection, vulnerability management, endpoint protection)
- (Preferred) Experience in high-performance or technically demanding environments (e.g. financial services, trading, or similar)
- (Preferred) Familiarity with using AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity
