Network Engineer Ultra-Low Latency Infrastructure

What Youll Do

• Architect, implement, and optimize ultra-low latency networks for high-frequency trading
• Design and deploy microwave and RF infrastructure, including link planning, site selection, and propagation analysis
• Configure, maintain, and troubleshoot high-performance routing and switching systems (Arista, Cisco, Juniper)
• Collaborate closely with software and infrastructure teams to optimize end-to-end performance

Required Skillset

• 4-7 years of experience in low-latency or high-frequency networking environments, particularly with time-sensitive network infrastructure
• Strong technical foundation in RF engineering principles, including link budget analysis and antenna optimization
• Comprehensive knowledge of network protocols including TCP/UDP, BGP, OSPF, multicast implementations, and PTP time synchronization
• Demonstrated expertise with network hardware platforms (Arista, Cisco, Juniper) and implementing low-latency networking strategies
• Practical experience optimizing network performance, conducting latency measurements, and performing packet-level analysis using tools like Wireshark and tcpdump
• Proficient with Linux networking environments, scripting/automation (Python, Bash, Ansible), and network monitoring solutions
• Working knowledge of AWS and GCP cloud networking architecture

Good to Have

• Hands-on experience with dark fiber deployments, optical networking technologies, and custom RF solutions
• Previous work in low-latency environments, financial market infrastructure, or telecommunications network design
• Expertise with precision time synchronization technologies (PTP, GPS-based timing, atomic clock systems)
• Capability to implement robust network security measures, redundancy configurations, and failover mechanisms
• Exceptional diagnostic and problem-solving abilities in time-sensitive, business-critical production environments
