About VNT Technologies
VNT Technologies is a quantitative research and technology firm focused on developing algorithmic trading infrastructure. We combine mathematical modelling, software engineering, and low-latency technologies to build systematic trading architecture for financial markets.
If you’re excited about solving hard technical problems, working with real-time systems, and seeing your code impact markets, you belong with us.
About the Position
We are looking for an experienced Linux system administrator who can help us with performance tuning, maintenance, and security. Each machine has a unique network setup, and every system is tuned for its specific workload. This is a hands-on and versatile role — while the main focus is on SysAdmin responsibilities, there may also be tasks related to monitoring, automation, alerting, or light DevOps work, depending on your experience and interests.
What You Bring to the Team
-
Good understanding of Linux kernel tuning and customization. We isolate cores, steer interrupts, and build custom drivers.
-
Strong understanding of IP network setup and tuning. Improvements in network latency can be more important than improvements in code.
-
Understanding of best security practices. We take security seriously, and you should too.
We Would Consider as an Advantage
Some experience with modern CI/CD systems. We still need to deploy and test, and helping hands are always welcome.
What Does Not Matter
-
Years of experience — mastery takes time, but we don’t put arbitrary numbers on it.
-
Your previous industry — finance or trading experience is not required.
The bar is high, but don’t be intimidated — different people shine in different ways. If you’re curious, driven, and enjoy solving meaningful problems, you’ll fit right in.
Life at VNT Technologies
-
Our team is shaped by diverse backgrounds and career paths. Some bring strong academic credentials - graduates of Cambridge and Oxford, medalists in International Olympiads, and PhDs. Others built exceptional expertise through hands-on experience and deep curiosity. What unites everyone is a passion for solving hard problems.
-
While we expect a significant contribution from every team member, work–life balance matters to us. We do not believe that overworked or burned-out people can give us any edge.
-
We offer strong compensation, a fascinating business domain, and an unlimited supply of deep and exotic technical challenges.
What We Offer
-
Base salary range: €4,000 - €8,000 gross per month based on your qualifications, competencies, and professional experience.
-
Year-end performance-based bonus.
-
Small but important perks — parking, private health insurance, high-end equipment, tooling of your choice, and more.
-
Regular team buildings to strengthen our teamwork.
-
Real ownership and real impact from day one.
-
A friendly, collaborative culture where good ideas can come from anyone.
-
Office at the heart of the business district - “Europa” Business Center, Vilnius, Lithuania.
