Linux Engineering Manager

3 requirements, read out of the advert rather than guessed from the job title:

• Linux
• Unix
• shell scripting

Also mentioned, not required: OCaml, network protocols, English. Worth having, but their absence is not what gets a CV filtered out.

About the Position

We are seeking a leader for our growing team of Linux Engineers.

Members of this group, managers and individual contributors alike, are hard-working Systems Engineers, Administrators, and Programmers, tasked with maintaining and improving the platform that powers Jane Street's production trading systems. (Find out more about the Linux Engineer role here ).

We expect managers to come in and lead by example. As well as supporting their teams, the ideal candidate will be excited to start off as an individual contributor, establish a fundamental understanding of Jane Street's technical environment, and gradually grow into a management role. 

We are looking for people who are enthusiastic about our values: honesty, cooperation, intellectual curiosity, humility, and a quantitative approach to decision making and problem solving. To succeed in this role, they should be Linux Engineers at heart who have grown into several of the following areas: people management, project and programme management, large-scale coordination and communication, partnership facilitation, short- and long-term planning, and service delivery, among others.
