As part of our engineering team, you’ll shape the platforms and tools that drive high-impact research – designing systems that scale, accelerate discovery and support innovation across the firm.

Take the next step in your career.

The role

The Core Infrastructure Engineering Team owns and operates the foundational services that G-Research engineers rely on every day, from infrastructure automation and CI tooling to the platforms that keep the business running.

  • Ensuring services are monitored, documented and recoverable
  • Collaborating with platform and application teams to deliver infrastructure solutions
  • Participating in the out-of-hours on-call rotation

Who are we looking for?

The ideal candidate will have the following skills and experience:

  • Experience operating and automating infrastructure services in an enterprise environment
  • Experience across Windows and Linux environments, including Windows Server and Active Directory administration
  • Strong infrastructure as code skills, with an interest in AI-driven infrastructure management
  • Experience with Jenkins pipeline management and administration
  • Scripting experience in PowerShell, Python or both
  • Experience managing self-hosted application platforms, including upgrades, patching and monitoring
  • Proven experience owning services end to end, including deployment, monitoring, incident response and improvement

Desirable experience:

  • Experience with inventory or CMDB platforms, Terraform or HCL literacy, certificate management, Kubernetes and Linux desktop support

Why join us?
