Job Description

Lead Storage Architect – Global Research Infrastructure

A global quantitative, technology-led investment firm is expanding its global storage function and is seeking a Lead Storage Architect to help shape and scale its core data platforms.

This role sits within their Global Platform Storage group and focuses on building highly reliable, automated storage systems that underpin large-scale research, analytics, and trading workloads. You’ll work closely with compute and HPC teams to deliver storage that performs at scale and evolves with the business.

What You’ll Do:

Design, deploy and operate large-scale, distributed storage platforms across multiple regions (AMER, EMEA & APAC). Lead architectural decisions for file, object, and hybrid storage systems. Drive automation and standardisation using Python and infrastructure-as-code tooling. Improve performance, reliability, and observability across petabyte-scale environments. Plan and execute storage modernisation and migration initiatives. Act as a senior technical leader, setting best practices and mentoring engineers - yet remaining fully hands-on.

What You Bring:

Deep experience with modern distributed storage technologies in large hybrid (on-prem & public cloud) environments. Strong Linux systems engineering background with a compute-first mindset. Proven ability to automate infrastructure using Python and configuration tools. Experience operating and monitoring complex, distributed systems at scale. Clear communication skills and comfort leading technical direction.

Why This Role

Influence the design of a newly built global storage platform. Work on complex, high-performance infrastructure used by researchers and traders. Collaborate with expert engineering teams across compute and platform domains. Join a firm where engineering quality and long-term thinking are core values.
