We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced engineer to join the Risk Data Tech team within Man Technology. You will have the chance to boost your career in a fast-paced and ambitious team that strives to create state-of-the-art tools for a range of data-related activities including onboarding, analysis, sourcing, quality checking, and lifecycle management. We don’t just have a standard data warehouse – our data estate is varied and highly optimised to deliver the needs of the business. Your challenges will be varied, involving:

• Developing and maintaining core tools for analysts, quants, and engineers to on-board and analyse datasets at multi-terabyte-scale.
• Collaborating with Risk Officers and with other Engineering teams to design and develop solutions for Risk for the whole Man Group or for specific needs for an engine or a strategy.
• Collaborating with Man Data Engineering team as we design and develop unique, bespoke solutions to solve our big data challenges – we work on 200 Terabyte of data and we own the main services that onboard vendor Risk data to support Man Investments.
• Designing and implementing strategies and tools to monitor and validate the data quality and data processing.
• Working with front office engineering teams as they leverage our data platform.

Our Technology

Our systems are mostly running on Windows and most of our code is in .NET (C#). Our services use multithreading and semaphores to optimize the impact on memory. Our first data storage is in SQL Server and we are starting to use ArcticDb for our largest datasets.

Part of our work is also in Linux with Python code, using pandas and other libraries to support visualization and data processing.

Our platform inherits from old tools and services, so we use many old technologies (Remoting, MSMQ, WCF, Winforms, WPF) while we migrate to new tools (.NET Core 8, Kafka, REST APIs, React, Arrow Flight).

Our devops is based on Bitbucket and Teamcity (Jenkins for our Python stack), using Grafana + Prometheus for metrics collection.

We are moving parts of our services into Docker for containerisation and Kubernetes for container orchestration.

Our technology list is never static: we constantly evaluate new tools and libraries.

Working Here

Man Tech has a small company, no-attitude feel. It is flat structured, open, transparent and collaborative, and you will have plenty of opportunity to grow and have enormous impact on what we do. We are actively engaged with the broader technology community.

As a member of the Infosec Engineering team, you will work on a wide variety of projects. The team is a project focused technical team, where you will get to work on projects that have impact across the whole organization. Being a small team you will have influence from day one and be able to drive the direction of Infosec technology at Man.

We work alongside the other tech teams on projects that will improve the security posture of the organization, and help and guide users and teams to make good security choices. We aim to provide systematic ways of defining polices and rules - for example by using common Infrastructure As Code tools to maintain configuration.

The team, and also the wider organization, value a passion for technology and see leading edge techniques as a part of keeping the business at the forefront of its field. The tech stack in Man Group is diverse, with Windows/Mac desktops/laptops, Linux (desktops and servers), HPC clusters, cloud technologies (on-prem and off), Docker and Kubernetes, and all manner of other technologies.

Some potential projects you will be able to work on are:

• Finding the most appropriate network segmentation and firewall rules, and building tools to roll these out
• zero trust networking implementation
• End user and corporate tool selection (E.g. Finding the most appropriate password manager, selecting deploying IGA/IAM solutions)
• Azure OIDC roll out
• Endpoint DLP solutions
• Building a framework for automated testing of policy rules, and developing tests to verify the state of our setup
• Probing our infrastructure to find weak spots  

What we expect

We’re looking for people who have a broad knowledge of infrastructure technologies. We have a large install of Linux, so a solid understanding of Linux and related technologies is key. Experience of networking technologies is beneficial. You will probably have worked as a Linux engineer (or a related low-level role), and maybe also have some Windows/Active Directory experience, and experience of using and running some cloud services. We are a small team, and we automate as much as possible, so an understanding of Python (or other programming language) is a must. Ideally some experience from configuration management tools (Ansible, Chef, Puppet, etc) and Infrastructure as code tools.

You should care about end users - this is very important to us, and we cannot afford for Infosec Engineering to be seen as a blocker to our users - we want to help users make correct choices and provide them tools for making those choices.

We prefer strong reasoning and ability to learn and grow over particular technologies or certifications. As we work closely with teams across the organization, strong communication skills and the ability to help set and keep priorities and manage time spent, is important.

Hopefully you will have a passion for learning new tools and techniques, for improving security, reliability, and user experience in systematic ways.

Bring your inspiration and new ideas - we love updating and improving our environment!
