About the role

  • Verition focuses on global investment strategies including Global Credit, Global Convertible, Volatility & Capital Structure Arbitrage, Event-Driven Investing, Equity Long/Short & Capital Markets Trading, and Global Quantitative Trading.
  • Our software engineers tackle some of the most challenging problems in finance.
  • We focus on high-impact problems aligned to commercial goals, so the work is both technically engaging and personally rewarding.

Responsibilities

  • Windows Engineering owns the server-side Windows platform at Verition - the counterpart to our Linux platform, engineered to the same standard. This is not a desktop or end-user support role
  • As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll own significant pieces of that surface hands-on, work closely with the Tech Lead for Linux Platform Engineering to shape one coherent OS-platform strategy across both kernels, and partner with engineering and quant research teams who depend on Windows for parts of their stack.
  • Build and maintain deployment, configuration, patching, and monitoring automation using PowerShell and modern configuration management, treating the Windows estate as code rather than as hand-managed servers.
  • Contribute to the OS-platform technical strategy set by the Tech Lead, Linux Platform Engineering, bringing deep Windows expertise so that decisions span both platforms coherently rather than treating Windows as an afterthought.
  • Partner with Data Center & Fleet Infrastructure on provisioning and asset management, and with Developer Tools & Infrastructure on build and CI integration, so the Windows platform is well-integrated with the rest of the stack.
  • Provide production support for the Windows surface, including participation in an on-call rotation, and drive continuous improvement of its reliability and observability.
  • Mentor engineers across the team on Windows internals, identity, and automation, raising the bar for how the firm builds and operates Windows infrastructure.
  • Windows Engineering owns the server-side Windows platform at Verition - the counterpart to our Linux platform, engineered to the same standard.
  • This is not a desktop or end-user support role; it is core infrastructure work on the Windows Server fleet, Active Directory and identity, and the automation that keeps both reliable, secure, and fast across our data centers and cloud regions.
  • We design the core platforms and infrastructure, build sophisticated risk management tools, and scale distributed systems that analyze exceptional volumes of data in real time.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5 years of experience in systems or platform engineering, with a focus on Windows Server infrastructure.
  • Advanced experience with Windows Server internals, performance tuning, and operating the fleet at scale.
  • Experience defining and applying Windows security baselines and hardening standards (e.g., CIS Benchmarks, STIGs).
  • Experience with distributed systems and cloud platforms.
  • Deep, hands-on experience with Active Directory and hybrid identity (Entra ID), including domain/forest design, Group Policy, and trust relationships.
  • Strong experience automating deployment, configuration, patching, and monitoring with PowerShell, including modern configuration-management approaches (e.g., DSC, Ansible, or equivalent).
  • Preferred Qualifications:
  • Working knowledge of the Linux platform sufficient to collaborate effectively on a unified OS-platform strategy.
  • Experience with Azure and hybrid-cloud identity and infrastructure.

Nice to have

  • Master's degree or PhD in Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field.
  • Experience with C# /.NET sufficient to build and maintain platform tooling and integrations.
  • Experience tuning Windows for low-latency or trading-adjacent workloads.
  • Strong working knowledge of agentic developer productivity tooling and customization such as spec-driven development, MCP servers, and Claude Code sub-agents, skills, and workflows.
  • 3 years of experience working in a complex, matrixed organization involving cross-functional or cross-business projects.
  • Experience partnering with quantitative developers and researchers in a finance setting.
  • Contributions to relevant open-source projects.

Compensation

  • $150,000 - $200,000 USD
