Summary: Financial software house recruiting! Junior Systems Administrator, Windows XP/2003 Server, London, to £38k. You must have at least a 2.1 (Hons) degree. This growing company uses technology as its core strength. The technical challenges and breadth of technology exposure will be attractive to candidates wishing to be part of a dynamic team that will present them with a stimulating environment. The Systems team is growing and the company wishes to find an outstanding individual who can contribute to this team. There are a broad range of technologies and systems in use, and the team supports an advanced, high-pressure environment. The team is notionally split into helpdesk and engineering sub-teams, but this is not run along ‘big company’ lines. They are small enough that the helpdesk team is not simply a front-line call logging unit, but is intimately involved in providing support for all aspects of the company’s systems. All members of the team have an agreed amount of time to spend on project work and training. From day 1 you will be dealing with a huge range of technology, from CRM systems to market data feeds, from Microsoft Exchange server to desktop PC deployments, from security issues to helping setup new offices, from sourcing new equipment to coming up with novel ways of disposing of old assets, from writing Perl scripts to trying to understand bastion hosts at the border of the network, from dealing with problems on automated trading systems to ensuring viable backups and continuity plans are in place. This is very much a hands-on technical role, and provides an excellent learning experience for someone wanting to move further into the field of systems administration. You will have access to work class senior team members, who will be able to help with advice, troubleshooting, training and project work. The company has very few ‘users’ relative to normal deployments – there is much more technology than there are people. This means the learning opportunities are huge. This role will suit someone who has a real interest in infrastructure, and a demonstrable aptitude for applying computing concepts and your skills to real problems. Working hours are based on a shift rotation. The early shift runs from 0700-1530, the late shift runs from 1030-1900, with the project/middle shift being during normal office hours. With good A level grades, a 2.1 Hons degree or higher from a good university you will have drive and energy and preferably some experience of working within a similar role – or you may possibly be a very bright recent Computer Science graduate. Financial institution experience in a trading environment is preferable. Experience of Windows XP desktop and Windows 2003 Server, standard market data applications, Linux/Solaris, networking and major desktop applications will all be of benefit. Salary and compensation package will depend on experience and the skills you have to offer but will be in line with expectations at a top-flight financial institution.
