Today, EG operates as a diversified, multi-strategy investment platform that combines systematic research with selective discretionary approaches. EG's multi-manager platform allows independent investment teams to pursue distinct strategies while benefiting from shared infrastructure, risk management, and operational support. The firm’s collaborative groups of researchers, engineers, and investment professionals deploy sophisticated statistical models, proprietary technology, and a centralized data platform to isolate and solve challenging problem sets in the global financial markets. ## About The Role The Systems Engineer will join EG's Systems Infrastructure team, which is responsible for all layers of technology in our environment, from networking to servers and application services, and will report to the London Head of Infrastructure. The firm's infrastructure is built using modern technologies, with a focus on creating robust, reusable components and the strategic use of automation. As a "flat" team, all members have exposure to, and are responsible for, the design, implementation, operation, and support of our environment. The Systems Engineer will initially focus on day-to-day system administration and supporting end-user systems, with the opportunity to grow into other areas of our systems infrastructure over time, ultimately managing large projects independently. The ideal candidate will demonstrate technical aptitude in areas they've worked in previously, along with the ability to think systemically and reason through problems they haven't yet encountered. While new team members will receive support and mentorship from the rest of the team, they will also be expected to conduct independent research and propose both solutions to emerging problems and improvements to current processes. This role offers a unique opportunity to make an impact on the daily operations of our firm, with the potential to oversee more substantial infrastructure projects over time.
