The Client
This is an outstanding opportunity to join one of the largest alternative asset managers in the world in a wide-ranging leadership role. With a flat-structured, 'no-attitude' working environment, this is a great time to join as engineering is undergoing significant investment.
The Role
They're looking for a highly motivated manager to join Production Support, a 3 rd line team which digs into logs, SQL tables and queries, looks through source code, troubleshoots infrastructure, and pores through performance metrics - as well as building the tools to make all of those things easier. You'll work closely with software engineers to support traders, portfolio managers and clients by building and maintaining complex systems that underpin the firm's platform and central functions.
The majority of the company's systems run on Windows and most code is written in C#; they use Microsoft SQL Server, Kafka and MSMQ for messaging. But they're also constantly evaluating new technologies, tools and libraries.
