Responsibilities
We’re seeking an IT Operations Engineer to support, configure, and maintain multiple systems across all of our technology stacks, including desktop environments, network infrastructure, and various application platforms.
Technology is central to our business, and you’ll play a crucial role in responding to tech support requests, building and configuring Windows, Linux, and macOS laptops, desktops, and servers, supporting our Windows domain infrastructure, monitoring critical systems, and helping with projects to optimize the way we work. You'll leverage automation tools like PowerShell during quieter periods to create elegant, scalable solutions that simplify operations.
Your success will depend on exceptional problem-solving abilities and interpersonal skills as you collaborate with our technically sophisticated users. The role demands real-time troubleshooting expertise, patient listening, comfort with asking clarifying questions, and the humility to acknowledge mistakes. You'll experience immediate feedback and the satisfaction of seeing your solutions directly impact our business.
This position sits within our global IT Operations group, a team of engineers who monitor and manage our mixed Windows/Linux/macOS environment across a physical/virtual computing landscape spanning multiple continents. In collaboration with specialized teams within and outside the IT department, you will help create and maintain the infrastructure that powers our trading operations.
This role will require occasional physical work, including lifting equipment up to 40lbs.
