About TGS

For over three decades, TGS has built quantitative trading systems that have produced exceptional results across a range of financial markets.
 We use a scientific approach to solve challenging problems in finance and to develop software and technology solutions to implement our strategies. Our teams include researchers and engineers from some of the top universities in the world, winners of international competitions in math and physics, and a cast of talented professionals who make TGS an unusually successful and enjoyable place to work.

The environment at TGS is collaborative and our organizational structure is relatively flat. We spend as little time as possible in formal meetings, and as much time as possible working to solve important problems.

Great benefits are a baseline expectation in finance and technology, and we’ve taken care of these essentials since long before it was considered necessary. We also offer a variety of intangibles that very few environments can match (such as private offices for almost all employees). Relocation assistance is generous and available for this role.

About the security team

The security team at TGS is small but our scope is large, and includes everything from physical security to threat intelligence. We aim to develop security solutions that intelligently manage risk without creating excessive friction for the rest of the firm. Team members have the necessary context and autonomy to make informed decisions, so that work can get done with minimal bureaucracy. We have the budget and management support to do what we think is right for the business.

Generally speaking, the security team at TGS is a low-stress place to work, especially compared to many other security organizations. Everyone on the team participates in on-call duties, but they are usually quite minimal. We will continue to work hard to keep it that way.

About the infrastructure security engineering role

Many of the projects on our security roadmap involve infrastructure, which is why we are hiring for this role right now. TGS has multiple networks in a unique architecture, a large high performance computing environment, a variety of operating systems (mostly Linux-based), and our own physical data centers. Securing this infrastructure is the primary challenge that our first dedicated infrastructure engineer will address.

Example projects include figuring out a way to patch servers in an HPC cluster, improving network monitoring, creating analytics from security logs (we use Splunk), and helping the team be prepared for incident response.
