  • Turn architecture standards into implementation patterns, automation, validation, documentation and runbooks.

  • Lead or support complex changes, migrations and technical improvement work.

  • Evaluate new technologies and improve existing designs and operating practices.

  • Implement effective instrumentation and use operational data to identify problems and improvements.

  • Mentor engineers and spread knowledge across the function.

Requirements

  • Strong knowledge of WAN, data-centre networking, BGP, multicast, and ultra low-latency environments.

  • Strong packet-analysis, telemetry and structured troubleshooting skills.

  • Strong knowledge of financial market architectures

  • Experience with automation, source-controlled configuration, validation and monitoring.

  • Knowledge of FPGA-connected network paths.

  • Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical decisions.
