Do you want to tackle the biggest questions in finance with near infinite compute power at your fingertips? 

G-Research is a leading quantitative research and technology firm, with offices in London and Dallas.

We are proud to employ some of the best people in their field and to nurture their talent in a dynamic, flexible and highly stimulating culture where world-beating ideas are cultivated and rewarded. 

This is a hybrid role based in our new Dallas infrastructure hub where we work on the latest technologies in a cutting-edge environment.

The role

The Workspace Engineering team, part of the Software Engineering Services (SES) function at G-Research, develops cutting-edge remote development capabilities. Hosted in Kubernetes, these solutions provide our engineers and quantitative researchers with reliable, repeatable and high-performance Linux environments.

The ideal candidate will bring strong software engineering experience, combined with a solid understanding of managing large-scale infrastructure and complex tooling ecosystems. You’ll be an enthusiastic developer with a keen interest in technologies such as Kubernetes and remote development workflows, a commitment to best practices and a drive for continuous self-learning.

We’re seeking someone with a broad technical skill set, who is adaptable and excited to work across a range of engineering challenges. You should be comfortable applying modern tools and approaches to solve complex problems and eager to contribute to a fast-paced, evolving environment.

Key responsibilities of the role include: 

  • Building stable and well-designed solutions which make it easy for customers to use our developer environments

  • Understanding what makes a great end user experience for our customers and building towards that

  • Recommending and implementing continuous improvements to platform and delivery pipelines

  • Understanding our platform's security requirements, and designing and building features and capabilities to protect our developer environment

  • Being a product evangelist, liaising with users to gather feedback and understand their workflows, providing support and working on feature requests

Who are we looking for?

The ideal candidate will have the following skills and experience:

  • Experience with GO development, or a strong interest in developing expertise, including designing, building and optimising applications.

  • Deep working knowledge of Linux operating systems

  • Experience working with Kubernetes and containers

  • Exposure to general development practices, such as source code management and binary, and dependency management using tools such as Git, GitHub and Artifactory

  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tooling across the full development lifecycle, using tools such as Jenkins, Bamboo or ArgoCD

  • A strong desire to learn and grow through both self-driven exploration of new technologies and by engaging with users across diverse teams to understand needs and deliver impactful solutions

The following skills and experience is beneficial, but not a requirement:

  • Building or maintaining other remote development systems

  • Experience with Kubernetes administration, such as maintaining Kubernetes clusters

  • Use of operational or runtime tools and practices, including monitoring and logging with systems such as Prometheus and Grafana

  • Experience communicating strategy and socialising change to a wide and disparate audience

Why should you apply?

  • Market-leading compensation plus annual discretionary bonus

  • Lunch provided in the office (via GrubHub)

  • Informal dress code and excellent work/life balance

  • Excellent paid time off allowance of 25 days

  • Sick days, military leave, and family and medical leave

  • Generous 401(k) plan

  • 16-weeks’ fully paid parental leave

  • Medical and Prescription, Dental, and Vision insurance

  • Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance

  • Employee Assistance and Wellness programs

  • Generous relocation allowance and support

  • Great selection of office snacks, and hot and cold drinks

  • Free on-site gym and car parking
