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.

Our client is an established, growing company providing innovative software solutions to one of the biggest global industry sectors. And it's a great place to work! Their web software tools play a business critical role in the selection and purchasing processes of major companies. These global implementations span hundreds of users across each organisation, allowing the client company to minimise implementation costs while offering highly granular, central control over access to data and services. These websites and web services allow complex mathematical queries and operations to be carried out against a live, central database. Despite the fact that most of these activities are computationally demanding, the tools must be robust to very high peak usage. This requires careful optimisation of database queries, combined with advanced caching and indexing technologies. In addition, despite their rich interface, our client’s web tools must remain responsive even over low-bandwidth and high-latency networks. This is achieved through a combination of efficient page design with technologies such as page compression and chunked responses. Their Web Solutions Group is responsible for the design and development of all web tools, ranging from corporate intranet implementations through to the sites maintained on their own servers. Development work spans the data and business logic tiers of the application, from SQL database design, through VB.NET/C++ middleware, onto XML generation for web services or AJAX based HTML interfaces. Our client's web tools target Windows Server platforms, using Microsoft SQL Server and IIS. Due to expansion, our client is seeking a degree-qualified, bright candidate with: - recent advanced JavaScript programming experience using AJAX or JSON as part of a significant project - experience of using Windows Server operating systems Experience of using SQL Server or other relational database would be beneficial, as would native C++ and .NET programming. Most importantly, you'll be a team player with a strong engineering, scientific or mathematical background, able to thrive in a small company environment. Our client offers a relaxed yet professional and supportive work environment, and good benefits, helping to make this an excellent opportunity to join an industry leader and be part of their success.
