About the Role
Squarepoint Capital's Infrastructure Services team seeks a hands-on Infrastructure Developer to engineer foundational services for a leading quantitative investment firm. This role focuses on programmatic integration and API-driven automation, aiming to eliminate manual infrastructure operations through self-service solutions. You will own the interaction model between the CMDB and infrastructure systems, driving automation across bare metal provisioning, network configuration, cloud resource management, and storage services.
Responsibilities
- Design and own the API interaction model spanning all infrastructure domains: bare metal, network fabric, virtualization, cloud, and storage.
- Drive automated server lifecycle management via API integration with provisioning systems.
- Automate network fabric configuration using Arista EOS VXLAN/EVPN environments.
- Integrate with cloud providers (GCP, AWS) and on-premises virtualization platforms for consistent resource lifecycle management.
- Manage storage services (Weka, Vast, S3-compatible) via API, including volume provisioning and data lifecycle.
- Own and maintain the enterprise CMDB API layer (FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes/Knative) as the authoritative source of truth.
- Design and implement end-to-end automation pipelines to eliminate manual handoffs.
- Build event-driven workflows using Knative/Eventing to propagate infrastructure state changes.
- Develop self-service interfaces (APIs, CLIs, internal developer portals) for routine infrastructure operations.
- Implement policy-as-code integrations for security and segmentation policies.
- Lead API engineering triage, evaluating and scoping new automation initiatives.
- Collaborate with product teams, vendors, and stakeholders to define API integration requirements.
- Allocate and coordinate implementation work across teams.
- Maintain a vendor API roadmap, tracking capabilities and planning integrations.
- Own the evolving CMDB data model, designing schemas for current and future infrastructure states.
- Ensure CMDB schema tolerance for evolution and new CI types.
- Model topological relationships between infrastructure components.
- Integrate and subsume existing sources of truth into the unified CMDB model.
- Design CI versioning and audit trails for compliance and change management.
- Build relationships with global infrastructure leads, platform teams, and application teams.
- Serve as the technical bridge between infrastructure engineering and the broader Technology organization.
- Collaborate with Cybersecurity to implement identity-based, federated security policy enforcement.
- Contribute to the Infrastructure Platform Direction strategy, advocating for infrastructure generation from high-level descriptions.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- 10+ years of experience in software development, with a strong focus on infrastructure automation, systems integration, or platform engineering.
- Production-quality Python development experience, including clean, tested, and maintainable code.
- Experience with FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Pydantic, and async Python is highly valued.
- Deep experience designing RESTful APIs, including resource modeling, versioning, pagination, error handling, and OpenAPI/Swagger documentation.
- Proven experience designing relational database schemas (PostgreSQL preferred) for complex, evolving domains.
- Working understanding of at least two of the following domains: bare metal provisioning, network configuration, storage systems, virtualization, or cloud infrastructure.
- Demonstrated track record of integrating heterogeneous systems via APIs.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, able to translate complex technical concepts.
- Strong analytical and organizational skills, able to scope ambiguous problems and drive execution.
- Experience with the Atlassian stack (Jira, Confluence) and Git (GitLab).
