As a Linux Engineering intern, you'll work side by side with full-timers to learn how we maintain and improve the critical infrastructure underlying our firm's technology, including our production trading systems. On any given day, we might be debugging kernel performance, developing management tools, or resolving production issues in real time. Our mix of in-house and open source software allows us to investigate and innovate at every level. During the program you'll work on up to two projects, mentored closely by the full-time employees who designed them. Some projects consider big-picture questions that we're still trying to figure out, while others involve building something new. We will choose your projects so you'll gain a better understanding of the wide range of problems we solve every day - from finding new and interesting ways to resolve production issues quickly, performing comprehensive root-cause analyses, and integrating long-term fixes in a clean and robust way. We automate as much of our work as we can, because we find that automation reduces our error rate and overall workload - plus, we think it's fun. You'll have a unique opportunity to see how our team interacts with almost every other group, both reacting in real time when things go wrong and building future-looking solutions that work on a firm-wide scale. In fact, as part of your internship experience we'll ask you to help out with both!
