Singapore Ashford Benjamin Ltd Full time

Sector: Proprietary Trading Compensation: Exceptional total package (above market base + heavy buy-side bonuses + excellent benefits) My client, a globally recognized leader in the proprietary trading space, is seeking an exceptional Linux Systems Engineer to join their core infrastructure team. This is not a typical sysadmin role; it is a hybrid position for those who live and breathe systems-level programming, automation, and performance engineering. You will be responsible for the heart of the firm's technological stack—the low-latency, high-performance Linux environment that drives their real-time trading systems. This group is the first and last line of defense for production stability, requiring a unique blend of deep theoretical knowledge and pragmatic, rapid-fire problem-solving skills. A Glimpse into the Projects You'll Tackle: While the core mandate is ensuring unparalleled platform stability and performance, your work will be varied and deeply technical. You can expect to be involved in projects such as: • Ultra-Low-Latency Kernel Tuning: Investigating and patching kernel and network stack behavior to shave off critical microseconds, using the most advanced profiling tools available. • Large-Scale Automated Provisioning: Designing the next generation of bare-metal automation to manage a globally distributed fleet of trading servers with absolute consistency and zero touch. • Deep Systems Performance Analysis: Developing custom tooling to perform real-time, fleet-wide analysis of hardware and OS performance, identifying anomalies before they impact trading. • Resilience and Chaos Engineering: Building systems to proactively test failure modes and ensure the trading platform can withstand any hardware or network fault. • Close Collaboration with Trading Strats: Working directly with quantitative researchers and developers to understand their system needs and co-design optimal hardware and OS configurations. Who You Are: You are a systems programmer at heart. You see the operating system not as a static platform, but as a complex, malleable piece of software to be understood, optimized, and mastered. You automate not because you're told to, but because you cannot tolerate manual, repetitive work. Required Qualifications: • A profound, foundational understanding of operating system internals, with specific expertise in the Linux kernel. • Expert-level proficiency with the Linux command line and shell scripting (Bash). • Strong systems programming skills in C or C++ or Python or Go, with knowledge of concepts like virtual memory, process scheduling, and socket programming. • Practical experience with systems debugging and performance profiling tools • Fundamental knowledge of networking (not at a network engineer’s level) • Experience in a high-performance computing (HPC) environment, low-latency trading, or a tech firm where systems performance is paramount. • Background in configuration management at scale (e.g., Ansible, Puppet, Salt, or custom-built solutions)
