Infrastructure Developer

Squarepoint Capital's Infrastructure Engineering team is responsible for engineering the foundational services that power one of the world's leading quantitative investment firms. Our infrastructure spans global datacenters across AMER, EMEA, and APAC. We are seeking a hands-on Infrastructure Developer - a software engineer at heart who specializes in infrastructure automation through deep, programmatic integration of service-level APIs. This is not a traditional infrastructure operations role. You will write production-quality code every day, designing and building the API fabric that connects every layer of the infrastructure stack. API Design & Ownership Across the Infrastructure Stack • Bare Metal & Provisioning: API integration with provisioning systems to drive automated server lifecycle - from hardware discovery and BIOS configuration through OS installation, burn-in, and production handover. • Network Fabric: API-driven configuration of the network environments • Virtualization & Cloud: API integration with cloud providers and on-premises platforms, enabling consistent resource lifecycle management across environments. • Storage: API-driven management of file, block, and object storage services - including volume provisioning, replication, policy, data lifecycle, and performance tier assignment. • CMDB as Source of Truth: Own the enterprise CMDB API layer - ensuring it is the authoritative, real-time source of truth for all infrastructure configuration items and their relationships. Infrastructure Automation Engineering • Implement end-to-end automation pipelines that eliminate manual handoffs between teams (e.g., server provisioning → network configuration → storage attachment → scheduler registration). • Build event-driven workflows to propagate infrastructure state changes across dependent systems automatically. • Develop self-service interfaces (APIs, CLIs, integrate with internal developer portals) that delegate routine infrastructure operations to appropriate stakeholders - enabling teams to manage their own resources within defined guardrails. • Implement policy-as-code integrations: translating high-level security requirements into programmatic enforcement through the CMDB and automation layers. • Contribute to the evolving CMDB data model - schemas that capture the past, current, and future state of infrastructure across all layers (physical, network, compute, storage, cloud, application). • Ensure the CMDB schema is tolerant of evolution: new CI types, relationship types, and attributes must be expanded without breaking existing consumers. • Model topological relationships between infrastructure components Required Qualifications • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline. • 4+ years of experience in software development, with a strong focus on infrastructure automation, systems integration, or platform engineering. • Production-quality Python development: you write clean, tested, maintainable Python code as a core part of your daily work. • Experience with CMDB platforms: hands-on experience with enterprise CMDB vendors or open-source alternatives - including data model design, API integration, and migration from legacy sources of truth. • API design expertise: Deep experience designing RESTful APIs, including resource modeling, versioning strategies, pagination, error handling, and OpenAPI/Swagger documentation. • Schema and data modeling: proven experience designing relational database schemas for complex, evolving domains — including normalization, indexing, and schema migration strategies. • Infrastructure domain knowledge: working understanding of at least two of the following domains — bare metal provisioning, network configuration
