Senior Platform Engineer (Hedge Fund)

Senior Platform Engineer – Hedge Fund – Abu Dhabi – Up to $175,000 Tax-Free + Bonus

A rare opportunity to join one of Abu Dhabi's most technically sophisticated hedge funds - built by engineers, for engineers. No bureaucratic red tape, no corporate hierarchy; just smart people solving hard problems in a flat, meritocratic environment.

This role sits at the heart of the firm's trading infrastructure. You'll own mission-critical systems end-to-end, with direct impact on trading performance and PnL.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain highly available Linux-based infrastructure supporting live trading and quant research environments
• Own the firm's AWS architecture — from latency-sensitive workload orchestration to cost optimisation
• Manage Kubernetes clusters at scale, driving seamless deployment pipelines across environments
• Develop CI/CD pipelines and internal tooling in Python, enabling quant and engineering teams to ship with confidence

What They're Looking For

• Strong Linux sysadmin experience in a performance-sensitive environment — finance or similarly demanding sectors preferred
• Production-grade AWS and Kubernetes expertise; you've built and owned these systems, not just used them
• Solid Python skills for automation, tooling, and infrastructure-as-code
• A self-sufficient engineer who thrives in small, high-trust teams alongside ex-FAANG architects and elite quant developers

What They Offer

• Up to $175,000 fully tax-free base + meaningful performance bonus
• Flat, meritocratic culture — your ideas get heard and your work ships
• Relocation support to one of the world's fastest-growing financial hubs
• Direct exposure to systematic trading — a serious career accelerant
