Senior Systems Engineer
Dallas, TX or New York, NY | Hybrid (3 days onsite / 2 remote) | Full-Time
About the Role
A well-established, multi-strategy hedge fund is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to join its technology team. This is a design-forward infrastructure role — the focus is on architecting and deploying new systems, not day-to-day operations. Approximately 80% of your time will be spent on engineering work; the remainder on documentation and enabling our support team to operate the systems you build.
This is a high-ownership position with direct exposure to trading and investment technology infrastructure.
Responsibilities
Architect and implement infrastructure across Linux and Windows environments
Own Kubernetes platform operations — cluster management, Helm, networking, storage, and observability
Design and manage AWS cloud infrastructure (EKS, EC2, VPC, IAM)
Build and support AI/ML infrastructure, including GPU provisioning and model serving environments
Produce thorough technical documentation for all new systems
Train support engineers on systems you design, ensuring smooth operational handoffs
Partner with software development and investment technology teams
Qualifications
7+ years of systems engineering experience in a complex, multi-environment organization
Proficiency in both Linux (RHEL, Ubuntu) and Windows Server environments
AWS experience strongly preferred (EKS, EC2, VPC, IAM)
Experience with AI/ML infrastructure a strong plus
Background in financial services or a similarly complex enterprise environment preferred
Strong written communication skills — ability to document for non-engineering audiences
