We empower exceptional talents in Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science to seek scientific boundaries, push through them, and apply cutting edge research to global financial markets. Our culture is unique. Constant innovation requires fearlessness, creativity, intellectual honesty, and a relentless competitive streak. We believe in winning together and unlocking unique individual talent by incenting collaboration and mutual respect.\nAt Jump, research outcomes drive more than superior risk adjusted returns. We design, develop, and deploy technologies that change our world, fund start-ups across industries, and partner with leading global research organizations and universities to solve problems. We are building a small, high-impact team to design and run infrastructure that operates outside Jump's primary environment. This is a broad remit: cloud, production systems, and HPC-style workloads all fall within scope, with sound security practices built in throughout. We are looking for a true generalist who can design systems from the ground up, operate them with little direction, and dig deep when things break.\nWhat you’ll do: \nDesign, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure that operates independently of Jump's on-premises environment.\nArchitect resilient, reliable systems, with security considered as part of good design from the start.\nBuild independent infrastructure and controls that strengthen Jump's overall resilience.\nSupport production and HPC-style compute workloads in the cloud, including provisioning, scaling, performance, and cost.\nOwn a wide range of systems end to end, from networking and identity to compute, storage, and monitoring.\nLead root cause analysis on incidents until the true cause is found and fixed.\nImprove monitoring, logging, and alerting so problems are detected and resolved quickly.\nApply infrastructure security best practices, including access management, secrets management, server hardening, and audit logging.\nPivot quickly to whatever needs fixing across the infrastructure, balancing competing priorities with minimal oversight.\nWork with a globally distributed team to maintain high availability.\nOther duties as assigned or needed.\nSkills you’ll need: \nBroad, hands-on experience as an infrastructure generalist, such as Linux administration, DevOps, systems engineering, or SRE.\nDeep understanding of Linux internals and networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, HTTP, routing, and load balancing.\nStrong experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including networking, IAM, and compute services.\nWorking knowledge of infrastructure security fundamentals, such as IAM, secrets management, system hardening, and logging/audit.\nA proven track record of troubleshooting complex systems and driving root cause analysis across multiple layers of the stack.\nExperience designing and architecting systems, not just operating them.\nExperience with infrastructure-as-code and configuration management tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or Salt.\nExperience with monitoring and alerting tools such as Prometheus, Alertmanager, or Grafana.\nProficiency in Bash and Python scripting. Deep software engineering experience is not required.\nComfort working in a flat, fast-paced team.\nReliable and predictable availability.\nBonus points: \nExposure to HPC environments or large-scale compute clusters.\nExperience with Kubernetes and containerized workloads.\nExperience with bare-metal and hybrid infrastructure.\nAdditional depth in security, such as incident response or secure architecture design. \nExperience in trading, financial services, or other high-availability environments.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3734,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Hedge Funds & Alternative Investments"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-10T09:01:04Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":102,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T16:25:08Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/jump-trading-cloud-systems-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/jump-trading-cloud-systems-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T16:25:08Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3811,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":58634},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=58634"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fjump-trading-cloud-systems-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fjump-trading-cloud-systems-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fjump-trading-cloud-systems-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/jump-trading-cloud-systems-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fjump-trading-cloud-systems-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4009137}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"jumptrading.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4009137},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
