We are a technology- and data-driven group implementing a scientific approach to investing. Combining data, research, technology, and trading expertise has shaped our collaborative mindset, which enables us to solve the most complex challenges. QRT’s culture of innovation continuously drives our ambition to deliver high-quality returns for our investors.

The global Infrastructure team designs, builds, and operates QRT’s high-performance compute and research environments. The team focuses on automation, scalability, and reliability across datacentres and research platforms, working closely with engineering, storage, and research groups worldwide.

Your Future Role within QRT
You will help automate all aspects of a growing, cutting-edge datacentre and research platform. You will build tooling, pipelines, and guardrails that turn network intent into safe, repeatable outcomes for QRT’s high-performance on-premise datacentre.

  • Design and evolve the network automation framework (source of truth, templating, validation, change control).
  • Build idempotent automation to provision and operate data centre fabrics at scale.
  • Integrate with vendor APIs and SDKs (e.g. Arista EOS, NetQ etc.)
  • Capture network intent as code, ensuring peer reviews and quality gates.
  • Instrument the network with telemetry, alerting, and SLOs to drive automated remediation.
  • Adhere to NetDevOps practices and share knowledge across the team.
  • Collaborate with network and platform engineers to translate designs into automated workflows.
  • Deliver frequent, incremental improvements through safe, tested changes.
  • Monitor vendor and industry developments and propose practical adoption paths.

Your Present Skillset

  • Advanced Python development for production-grade tools and services.
  • Go (preferred) for performant tooling.
  • Strong Ansible experience (roles, collections, YAML/JSON data models).
  • Git proficiency including branching, pull requests, and semantic versioning.
  • Observability fundamentals (Prometheus, Grafana, logging and tracing).
  • Source of truth/CMDB systems (NetBox, Nautobot etc.).
  • Linux networking (iptables, DHCP, DNS) and strong Bash scripting.
  • Workflow orchestration (Temporal or equivalent).
  • Network validation and testing tools (pyATS, NAPALM etc.).
  • Containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Secure secrets and configuration management (Vault, PKI best practices).
  • Experience with data centre fabrics, QoS, and high-performance networking is a plus.

QRT is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome diversity as essential to our success. QRT empowers employees to work openly and respectfully to achieve collective success. In addition to professional achievement, we are offering initiatives and programs to enable employees achieve a healthy work-life balance.
