        The D. E. Shaw group seeks a skilled senior engineer to join its Systems team and lead the evolution and modernization of the firm’s virtualization platform. This individual contributor role offers the chance to operate within a mature production setting while driving thoughtful change through evaluation, design, and execution in a collaborative and engaging work environment.

        What you’ll do day-to-day

        • Own and maintain current virtualization platforms and storage solutions in our production environment, ensuring system availability, performance, and resource optimization. 
        • Lead the technical exploration of “what’s next”, including researching alternatives, running proof-of-concepts, and defining migration paths from current platforms. 
        • Develop automation and tooling to improve reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency. 
        • Plan and execute virtualization and storage migrations with cross-functional teams.  

        What we’re looking for

        • At least ten years of hands-on experience building and supporting server virtualization platforms in production environments, with a solid understanding of availability, performance, and resource management.
        • Deep expertise in at least one major virtualization platform (VMware, Hyper-V, or KVM-based platforms); experience with multiple platforms is a strong plus.
        • Background working with enterprise storage systems and SAN technologies, including relevant storage protocols, along with experience using at least one software-defined storage platform.
        • Familiarity with evolving virtualization and storage environments as part of a broader technical strategy, whether driven by hardware refreshes, cost considerations, or vendor changes.
        • Excellent communication, organization, and time-management skills, with the ability to operate independently and drive initiatives forward.
        • Comfort asking questions and demonstrating intellectual honesty about knowledge gaps while owning large, complex initiatives.
        • Experience with programming languages such as Python and PowerShell is required; a degree in computer science or another technical discipline is preferred.

        The D. E. Shaw group is an equal opportunity employer.
