About the role
- This includes colocation hardware near the exchanges, research compute and developer services, and the security and release processes that connect these environments.
- We are not looking for a manager who delegates all technical work or an engineer who avoids leading people.
- We need someone who can do both and determine where their time and attention are most needed.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain Linux tuning standards for trading hosts, including CPU isolation, NUMA-aware pinning, IRQ affinity, and BIOS and kernel settings.
- Manage hardware failures, spare capacity, and capacity planning.
- Establish and maintain access controls for production trading hosts in colocation.
- Manage network segmentation across colocation, corporate, and research environments.
- The Team. Hire, develop, and retain infrastructure engineers. Set priorities across trading performance and latency, research compute needs, and operational tooling. Represent the infrastructure team and its priorities across the firm.
Requirements
- Experience operating infrastructure for a trading firm or another environment with strict uptime and latency requirements, including hands-on experience with colocation hardware and bare-metal Linux servers.
- Deep, demonstrable expertise in low-latency Linux, including kernel and network tuning, CPU and NUMA isolation, IRQ affinity, and kernel-bypass NICs and technologies such as Solarflare/Onload, Exanic, and Mellanox/DPDK.
- Experience leading an infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE team, including hiring, setting priorities, and taking accountability for outcomes while remaining a hands-on technical contributor.
- Experience consuming these services alone is not sufficient.
- Strong Linux systems administration skills and experience with container orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
- A track record of managing structured on-call and incident response processes, including escalation paths, post-mortems, and follow-through on action items.
Nice to have
- Experience with FPGA-based or other hardware-accelerated market data and order-entry systems.
- Experience with HPC storage and networking, including NFS at scale, parallel filesystems, and InfiniBand.
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, and Ansible.
- Experience with log aggregation and security information and event management (SIEM) systems.
- Understanding of compliance frameworks relevant to financial services.
Skills
- Select low-latency NICs, such as Solarflare, Exanic, and Mellanox, and kernel-bypass technologies.
- Oversee colocation infrastructure for trading, along with on-premises and cloud environments supporting research and corporate workloads.
Benefits
- Health, visual and dental insurance
- Flexible sick time policy
