Junior Storage Engineer Jobs

This is a hybrid role, based in G-Research’s office in Dallas.

G-Research is Europe’s leading quantitative finance research firm. We hire the brightest minds in the world to tackle some of the biggest questions in finance. We pair this expertise with machine learning, big data, and some of the most advanced technology available to predict movements in financial markets.

Opened in 2022, the Dallas office is a key infrastructure hub where we work on the latest technologies in a cutting-edge environment.

The role

The G-Research Storage Engineering team manages our high performance scalable storage and is responsible for the design, deployment and operation of this storage platform, which supports the research workloads of our Researchers, and is a core component of infrastructure.

Managing a 24x7 platform across time zones is challenging and we are excited to now be able to hire into our Dallas office where we are looking to expand our storage team to work alongside our UK team daily.

Working alongside our UK team, you will optimize and troubleshoot workflows alongside our Researchers and Software Engineers, as well as our Networks team and external vendors, including DELL, VAST, HPE and RUBRIK.

A typical day will start with a check-in with the team, planning the handover of any maintenance activities later that day. Through the UK’s afternoon, you will share the operational workload (typically user queries and provisioning requests), then as the UK staff roll off, take responsibility for monitoring onsite vendor engineers and handling any problems that are observed or reported, escalating when needed.

For candidates with particularly strong coding skills, you will have the opportunity to work through a backlog of development work (automation and reporting), which our DevOps sub-team are eager to share with you.

Who are we looking for?

As a Junior Storage Engineer, your input contributes directly to the productivity of our Researchers and the success of the company as a whole.

The ideal candidate needs to be self-driven, hardworking and demonstrate strong problem solving skills, as well as a healthy interest in technology, hardware and high performance scalable storage platforms.
