“I studied Computer Network Management and Design at the University of Portsmouth, following this I worked at a small UK hosting company for several years, running their OpenStack-based public cloud platform. I’ve been at G-Research since 2018 and have been solely focused on engineering and operating an internal compute platform based on open-source software.
“My favourite thing about working at G-Research is the people. G-Research strives to hire not only the brightest minds, but good people, which in turn creates a brilliant collegiate and social atmosphere at the company.”
"My intern experience was really good. You get the opportunity to impact a business, which is important if you’re preparing to enter the workplace. You get to do something useful and see how it gets used; I worked on a project that is still being used now."
"What I like the most about my job is it’s super open. I’m able to work with a lot of folks from other teams, too, such as working closely with Engineers and other Quantitative Researchers."
"Before G-Research I’d completed internships at a few companies whilst studying Computer Science at the University of York. Since joining, I’ve progressed from an intern to a graduate to an engineer, having worked on systems and technology core to the business my entire time."
"G-Research makes a lot of effort to have a very open culture and gives a lot of freedom to its individual researchers to pursue directions that they think are valuable, with each researcher very much driving their own research. I didn’t feel like I was losing a lot of freedom (compared to academia)."
"There was a lot I didn't know about the G-Research, so I gained insights from those who interviewed me. They all came across as intelligent, curious, and interested in exploring problems from different angles. I figured if people like this enjoy their jobs then I most certainly will."
Hear from Jay, an Open Source Software Engineer, on tackling technical debt in OpenStack. As technology evolves, outdated code becomes inefficient and harder to maintain. Jay highlights the importance of refactoring legacy systems to keep open-source projects sustainable and future-proof.
