Infrastructure Platform Engineer

About the role

Infrastructure Platform Engineer runs the trading system infrastructure Flow Traders trades on: the global Linux fleet — trading servers, workstations and VDIs — and the multi-cloud and distributed-systems estate that sits alongside it. We also build and run the self-service infrastructure platform the rest of Technology depends on.

We are hiring two engineers into this team. This is a hands-on engineering role: most of your time goes on writing Terraform, building CI workflows and guardrails, automating toil out of the Linux fleet, and operating what you build. A lot of the shared tooling does not exist yet, and building it is the job rather than a side effect of it. The environment is trading-critical and runs across both on-premise infrastructure and public cloud, and you will work on both sides of that line rather than specialising in one.

To be clear about the shape of the seat: this is build-and-operate rather than
