Physical Security Systems Engineer

We are looking to hire an expert in physical security information technology to help us keep our physical spaces safe and secure on a global scale. Technology is central to our business, and you will join a team dedicated to supporting our global physical security operations center (PSOC) which keeps our office buildings, disaster recovery sites, and colocation sites secure.

You’ll also monitor and maintain our access control, video management, intercom, and visitor management systems.

The right person will enjoy working independently on small teams, solving complex problems, and making decisions that have a real and immediate impact on the firm.

This role sits within our broader Technology group which designs, deploys, and supports all of the infrastructure underpinning our trading activities. Our firm is growing fast, and with over 2,000 employees across four office locations, our security challenges have become substantially more interesting over the last 10 years. We invest heavily in technology, and your expertise and ideas will help us continue to meet and grow the highest standard of security.
