Requirements
• At least 5+ years of experience in a similar role in the industry • Extensive hands-on experience with both AWS and GCP in performance-sensitive environments • Deep, hands-on expertise in cloud networking: VPC design, hybrid connectivity, routing, and traffic control across AWS and GCP • Extensive experience with Terraform at scale • Direct experience supporting electronic trading or low-latency systems • Demonstrated ability to build shared platform capabilities and drive adoption across engineering teams • GCP & Cloud Migration • Experience migrating latency-sensitive workloads to GCP; familiarity with Compute Engine, GKE, and sole-tenant nodes • Working knowledge of GCP IAM, Organization Policies, and multi-project governance • Understanding of multi-cloud networking patterns and cross-cloud security posture management • Familiarity with exchange API security models, crypto key custody patterns, and WebSocket-based market data infrastructure • Awareness of crypto-specific threat landscape: API key theft, BGP hijacking, and chain reorganization events
Responsibilities
• Own the architecture and operation of cloud infrastructure supporting latency-sensitive trading systems across all desks. • Design VPC and network topologies with explicit routing, isolation, and traffic control; partner with the network team to build a robust, highly available, and latency-optimized global network, including Direct Connect to DV office locations and hybrid connectivity across cloud providers (Cloud Interconnect, VPN, Transit Gateway). • Define compute placement strategies, including cluster placement groups and locality-aware scheduling. • Build and maintain shared platform capabilities that enable engineering teams across the firm to self-serve reliably and safely. • Own FinOps visibility and cost optimization frameworks across all trading and research workloads. • Serve as the primary escalation point for cloud infrastructure incidents firm-wide, owning issues from detection through resolution. • Define firm-wide observability standards and own the cloud layer of the monitoring and alerting stack. • Mentor engineers and establish infrastructure standards that raise the engineering bar across teams. • Lead infrastructure planning and execution for the migration of CME colocation workloads to GCP, maintaining continuity of latency-sensitive trading operations throughout. • Design hybrid connectivity between colocation environments and GCP (Cloud Interconnect, Cloud VPN). • Architect GCP VPC topology, IAM, and Organization Policy to mirror the security posture enforced on AWS. • Define GCP compute strategy (Compute Engine, GKE, sole-tenant nodes) with trading-appropriate placement and locality considerations. • Extend Terraform IaC standards to GCP; establish cross-cloud observability using Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, and Cloud Trace. • Design secure, low-latency connectivity to cryptocurrency exchanges via private peering or dedicated API gateways. • Build DDoS-resilient perimeter for crypto-facing infrastructure and enforce strict network segmentation from other trading desks. • Establish WebSocket connection management infrastructure for real-time market data feeds with redundant failover and feed health observability.
