Location: Mumbai, India (onsite)

Type: Permanent

Experience: 10 plus years in data centre / infrastructure engineering (trading/HFT experience strongly preferred)

About the role

Own the physical and logical infrastructure that powers ultra-low-latency trading systems. You'll design, deploy and maintain rack layouts, structured cabling, servers and network hardware across primary data centres and colocation sites—working closely with network, systems and trading-technology teams.

This is a hands-on role where clean builds, precise documentation and fast, safe changes directly impact trading performance and resilience.

What you'll do

Design and implement low-latency data centre infrastructure: rack layouts, power, cooling, cable paths and connectivity plans. Perform rack-and-stack of servers, switches, trading appliances and specialist hardware; manage asset lifecycles. Install, test and maintain structured cabling (fibre and copper): LC/MPO/MTP, patch panels, transceivers, SFPs/QSFPs.

Configure and support high-speed network hardware (10/25/40/100 Gb E+) from vendors such as Arista, Cisco, Juniper, Mellanox/NVIDIA. Work with Linux server hardware and remote management (i LO, i DRAC,



IPMI); perform firmware/BIOS/BMC updates and hardware diagnostics.

What we're looking for

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, Electronics/Telecommunications or related field (or equivalent hands-on experience). Hands-on data centre experience in latency-sensitive environments (trading/HFT, exchanges, financial infrastructure).

Solid knowledge of data centre design: power distribution, redundancy, rack capacity, environmental considerations and best practices.

Proven experience with structured cabling: fibre (LC, MPO, MTP) and copper (Cat6/Cat6a), cable dressing and management. Practical experience deploying and supporting servers, switches and network appliances in production.

Nice to have

Exposure to low-latency trading infrastructure: kernel-bypass NICs, FPGA/Smart NIC appliances, PTP/NTP timing. Experience with colocation projects across APAC exchanges and data centres. Scripting/automation for provisioning or validation (Python, Bash, Ansible). Vendor certifications (Arista, Cisco, Juniper) or data centre design credentials.
