For over 20 years, the firm has been at the forefront of global derivatives trading, combining technology, data, and quantitative expertise to deliver consistent results across multiple markets.

Ensure the WAN and LAN networks operate effectively across global data centers and colocations. Contribute to capacity planning, connectivity improvements, and traffic flow optimization. Strong passion for network monitoring, performance, and capacity planning. Experience with LAN and WAN technologies in a trading or low-latency environment. Comfortable working in a multi-vendor environment (Cisco, Arista, Palo Alto). Solid understanding of network transport and routing protocols (TCP/UDP, OSPF, BGP, Multicast). Familiarity with firewalls and network security best practices. Experience with network monitoring and alerting tools. Strong communication skills, able to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical colleagues.
