Job Description
Senior Platform Engineer – Hedge Fund
£150,000 - £225,000 base + competitive hedge fund bonus
Orbis has partnered with a high-performing multi-asset hedge fund to build out its platform engineering team. This is a rare opportunity to lead greenfield infrastructure projects in a sophisticated trading environment; no prior finance experience is required.
The role:
You'll architect and deliver critical infrastructure projects spanning the firm's on-premise data centres and cloud environments. Key focus areas include:
Leading the migration from Nomad to Kubernetes across a hybrid infrastructure environment
Designing highly available systems that support real-time trading operations
Expanding the firm's cloud footprint (AWS/Azure/GCP) while maintaining on-prem capabilities
Owning projects end-to-end from design through production
What you'll need:
Production experience with Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE or bare-metal)
Strong Linux systems background; Windows experience is beneficial
Track record delivering cloud migrations and managing hybrid environments
Experience supporting mission-critical, highly available systems
What makes this different
Greenfield projects: Build from scratch rather than maintaining legacy systems
Technical : Work across data centres, cloud platforms, and container orchestration
Finance exposure: An opportunity to break into hedge funds without needing prior domain knowledge
Competitive compensation: Strong base salary plus hedge fund bonus structure
Balanced hybrid working: 3-4 days per week in St James offices
