## About the Role

Trading Systems, Systems Engineering, Cryptocurrency, Finance, Liquidity, Cryptography, Stock Market, Leading Edge Technology, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Network Topology, * 5+ years of experience in Infrastructure Engineering, Systems Engineering, or SRE, with a focus on low-latency electronic trading environments.

 * Deep Linux Internals Expertise: Advanced experience with kernel-level performance tuning, memory management, and network I/O optimization (isolcpus, network profiling, ring buffers).
 * AWS Low-Latency Design: Demonstrated experience leveraging AWS low-latency constructs (Placement Groups, ENA/ENI, high-performance EC2 instance optimization).
 * Trading Protocols & Infrastructure: Experience with FIX protocol, Aeron messaging, or low-latency colocation connectivity.
 * HFT & Market Workflows: Familiarity with high-frequency trading (HFT) workflows or crypto exchange API integrations.
 * Automation Mastery: Strong proficiency in Terraform for cloud infrastructure and Ansible for OS configuration and patching.
 * Networking Fundamentals: Deep understanding of physical network topologies, TCP/IP, UDP, and low-latency network routing.
 * Containers & CI/CD: Hands-on experience with Docker, Docker Compose, Jenkins, and modern deployment pipelines.
 * Observability Ecosystem: Experience setting up production monitoring using Grafana Cloud, Alloy, or Prometheus.

Bonus Points

 * Hands-on scripting capability in Python/Bash, with development experience in Rust or Java preferred.
 * Experience with hardware acceleration technologies (FPGAs, SmartNICs) or custom network card driver tuning.
 * Knowledge of PTP (Precision Time Protocol) / IEEE 1588 or clock synchronization setup for high-precision trade timestamping.

## Description

* Low-Latency Architecture: Design, provision, and maintain ultra-low latency AWS and hybrid network topologies, including VPCs, exchange gateways, and regional deployment expansions.
 * Performance Tuning: Optimize Linux OS kernels and compute performance using CPU isolation (isolcpus), AWS Cluster Placement Groups, and enhanced networking (ENA/ENI).
 * Infrastructure as Code: Drive infrastructure automation, provisioning, and configuration management using Terraform and Ansible.
 * Platform Scaling: Architect infrastructure to support expanding Exchange Market Making (EMM), Project Market Making (PMM), and TradFi exchange convergences.
 * Observability & Reliability: Build telemetry and monitoring pipelines using Grafana Cloud and Alloy to ensure continuous visibility into platform performance.
 * Technical Leadership: Guide the technical roadmap, mentor junior engineers, and act as an escalation lead for critical system incidents.
