Our infrastructure spans global datacenters across AMER, EMEA, and APAC. We are seeking a hands-on Infrastructure Developer- a software engineer at heart who specializes in infrastructure automation through deep, programmatic integration of service-level APIs. This is not a traditional infrastructure operations role. You will write production-quality code every day, designing and building the API fabric that connects every layer of the infrastructure stack. \nAPI Design & Ownership Across the Infrastructure Stack\nBare Metal & Provisioning: API integration with provisioning systems to drive automated server lifecycle - from hardware discovery and BIOS configuration through OS installation, burn-in, and production handover. \nNetwork Fabric: API-driven configuration of the network environments\nVirtualization & Cloud: API integration with cloud providers and on-premises platforms, enabling consistent resource lifecycle management across environments.\nStorage: API-driven management of file, block, and object storage services - including volume provisioning, replication, policy, data lifecycle, and performance tier assignment.\nCMDB as Source of Truth: Own the enterprise CMDB API layer - ensuring it is the authoritative, real-time source of truth for all infrastructure configuration items and their relationships.\nInfrastructure Automation Engineering\nImplement end-to-end automation pipelines that eliminate manual handoffs between teams (e.g., server provisioning → network configuration → storage attachment →scheduler registration).\nBuild event-driven workflows to propagate infrastructure state changes across dependent systems automatically.\nDevelop self-service interfaces (APIs, CLIs, integrate with internal developer portals) that delegate routine infrastructure operations to appropriate stakeholders - enabling teams to manage their own resources within defined guardrails.\nImplement policy-as-code integrations: translating high-level security requirements into programmatic enforcement through the CMDB and automation layers.\nContribute to the evolving CMDB data model- schemas that capture the past, current, and future state of infrastructure across all layers (physical, network, compute, storage, cloud, application).\nEnsure the CMDB schema is tolerant of evolution: new CI types, relationship types, and attributes must be expanded without breaking existing consumers.\nModel topological relationships between infrastructure components\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.\n4+ years of experience in software development, with a strong focus on infrastructure automation, systems integration, or platform engineering.\nProduction-quality Python development: you write clean, tested, maintainable Python code as a core part of your daily work. \nExperience with CMDB platforms: hands-on experience with enterprise CMDB vendors or open-source alternatives - including data model design, API integration, and migration from legacy sources of truth.\nAPI design expertise: Deep experience designing RESTful APIs, including resource modeling, versioning strategies, pagination, error handling, and OpenAPI/Swagger documentation.\nSchema and data modeling: proven experience designing relational database schemas for complex, evolving domains - including normalization, indexing, and schema migration strategies.\nInfrastructure domain knowledge: working understanding of at least two of the following domains - bare metal provisioning, network configuration, storage systems, virtualization, or cloud infrastructure.\nSystems integration experience: demonstrated track record of integrating heterogeneous systems via APIs - consuming vendor APIs, building abstraction layers, and managing API lifecycle\nStrong verbal and written communication: ability to translate complex technical concepts for both engineering peers and non-technical business stakeholders; comfortable presenting to senior leadership.\nStrong analytical and organizational skills: able to scope ambiguous problems, decompose them into actionable work, and drive execution across multiple teams.\nExperience with the Atlassian stack and Git, using these tools for project tracking, documentation, and code review workflows.\nPreferred Qualifications\nNetwork automation experience: familiarity with network device APIs and network automation frameworks.\nKubernetes and cloud-native development: experience deploying and operating microservices on Kubernetes, including Knative, Helm, and GitOps workflows.\nWorking knowledge of Rust: for performance-critical automation components or CLI tooling.\nExperience in financial services or other latency-sensitive environments: understanding of the operational rigor, change management discipline, and reliability requirements of production trading infrastructure.\nSecurity automation: experience integrating with micro-segmentation platforms or implementing policy-as-code for security.\nInfrastructure-as-Code familiarity: experience with Terraform, Ansible, or similar IaC tools - and critically, an informed perspective on where IaC patterns are appropriate versus where a CMDB-driven API model is superior.\nThe minimum base salary for this role is $100,000 if located in New York. This expectation is based on available information at the time of posting. This role may be eligible for discretionary bonuses, which could constitute a significant portion of total compensation. This role may also be eligible for benefits, such as health, dental, and other wellness plans, as well as 401(k) contributions. Successful candidates’ compensation and benefits will be determined in consideration of various factors.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5902,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Asset Management & Funds","Hedge Funds & Alternative Investments"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-16T01:23:59Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-09-21T12:02:46Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-01T23:39:27Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Senior or Specialist Worker, Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker; Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-31T06:23:40+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":22,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.508,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":65,"expected_fill_days":45,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/squarepoint-infrastructure-developer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/squarepoint-infrastructure-developer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T08:21:15Z","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":11681,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"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":684807},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=684807"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsquarepoint-infrastructure-developer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"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%2Fsquarepoint-infrastructure-developer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"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%2Fsquarepoint-infrastructure-developer"},{"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/squarepoint-infrastructure-developer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsquarepoint-infrastructure-developer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":951649}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"squarepoint-capital.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":951649},"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.
