## Role details

## Role

Data Operations Analyst – Global Data Operations

## Overview

Two Sigma is a leading quantitative investment management and trading firm. We apply a scientific approach to investing, combining cutting-edge technology, artificial intelligence, data science, and quantitative research with rigorous human inquiry to capitalize on market opportunities and deliver alpha for investors. Our team of engineers, quantitative researchers, and data scientists tests hypotheses and develops creative solutions to some of the world’s most complex economic problems.

## Location

London, United Kingdom

## Team & Focus

Global Data Operations (GDO) is a service provider for data-driven operations and operational risk management. We create, maintain, and operate the optimized workflows that provide and curate the data used in live trading. You will be part of a close-knit, global team whose daily execution is essential to the success of Two Sigma’s business. This is a hands-on, technical operating role requiring comfort with the underlying technology, including the UNIX/Linux command line, databases, logs, and file systems. You will work to make our operations measurably better by writing and improving the runbooks we run every day.

## Responsibilities

  
- Investigate and remediate production alerts using incident-specific runbooks, owning each issue through to resolution or escalation.
  
- Author and improve runbooks, applying data-management workflow standards to turn recurring fixes into clear, repeatable procedures that reduce risk and increase throughput.
  
- Mine data to surface patterns, root-cause issues, validate data, and reveal trends across large datasets.
  
- Apply predefined acceptance and quality criteria to guarantee the integrity of financial data sets.
  
- Collaborate with business partners, software engineers, data analysts, and other data operations specialists to understand and improve business processes.
  
- Recommend and improve data-management policies and procedures to enhance efficiency and accuracy.

## Qualifications

  
- Comfort with underlying technology: use the UNIX/Linux command line, query databases (SQL) to mine and validate data, read logs, navigate file systems, schedulers, and storage.
  
- Exposure to scripting (Bash, Python, or similar) and the judgment to know when a script helps versus when a runbook is the right answer.
  
- A genuine interest in operations: you execute daily at volume, follow workflows precisely, and feel the impact of work done right.
  
- Ability to switch between systems and tools (Linux/Windows, database/file-server, UI/command-line, text/numbers) without relying on a single framework.
  
- Strong attention to detail and exceptional verbal and written communication.
  
- BS in a technical discipline or equivalent hands-on experience in a comparable operational or technical role.
  
- Minimum 1 year of experience; 1–5 years is preferred.

## Preferred Experience

  
- Professional experience in data operations, technical operations, or a similar discipline (e.g., data operations analyst, systems/support engineer, data analyst, process engineer, systems administration, QA) or a structured operational background (such as defense analysis, logistics, or maintenance technician work) where you followed and built step-by-step procedures and worked with data and tooling.
  
- Hands-on experience performing data-management and data-quality tasks in data-intensive environments.
  
- Desire to grow knowledge of finance and trading.

## Hours & Work Schedule

This is a London-hours operational role within a global team supporting trading 24/5 across Houston, Tokyo, and London. The work is interrupt-driven and time-sensitive, with early starts (approximately 7:00 AM London time) to cover the period before and during the trading day. Out-of-hours and weekend support are not required.
