Got 0 to 3 years of desktop support and want to get into financial services at a hedge fund? This is the one.
A top NYC hedge fund is hiring a Desktop Engineer. You’ll be on the front line keeping portfolio managers, traders and quants up and running. You’ll also be learning from a senior team that will actually invest in you.
What you’ll do:

Run Active Directory: new hires, departures, permissions, password resets and MFA
Build and support Bloomberg terminals and trading-floor systems
Install developer and quant tools (VS Code, Visual Studio, SSMS) and approved AI apps
Patch workstations with KACE and help senior staff with server patching
Set up and troubleshoot VPN and RDP access
Help with tape restores and file recoveries, including quarterly audit restores
Deploy and retire workstations and handle desk moves, printers, phones and asset tracking
Own the ticket queue: walk-ups, email, chat and calls
What you bring:
Less than 3 years of experience. That’s it, no more.
Hands-on Active Directory and Windows/M365 support
Some PowerShell, or a real desire to learn it
Comfort with patching tools (KACE, SCCM, Intune) and imaging
A great personality: friendly, sharp, calm under pressure, and you actually like helping people
Discretion. You’ll see sensitive data.
Bloomberg, financial services or certifications are a bonus
The must-haves:
Local to NYC, 100% onsite. No remote, no hybrid.
US Citizens only
US Educated is a must
Occasional after-hours work for patching and restores
Total comp: around $100K
