Network Engineer

Join our forward-thinking team as a Network Engineer, where you will play a key
role in designing, implementing, and supporting high-performance, low-latency
network infrastructure.
At IMC, the Trading Infrastructure team is responsible for the WAN, LANs, and
all low-latency connectivity to trading venues. You will work closely with
Systems Engineers, internal teams, and external partners to deliver
best-in-class solutions that support our trading business and help evolve our
infrastructure to meet the demands of a dynamic industry.

Your Core Responsibilities:

* Design, implement and support the networking infrastructure. Key areas
include Low-latency networking, Unicast and Multicast routing, OSPF, BGP, PIM
SM, as well as things like QoS, STP, NAT, protocol tuning, etc.
* Monitor, guard and analyze the proper functioning of our network
infrastructure. Take adaptive, retentive and corrective measures and perform
structural maintenance.
* Proactively improve our infrastructure by contributing scripts and code to
our automation efforts (e.g. Bash, Python).
* Accurately create and maintain documentation detailing the implemented
network components, as well as relevant procedures and other documentation.
* Responsibility for our IT security related platforms. Key areas include Palo
Alto firewalls, VPNs, Security policies, etc.
* Work flexible hours. We are proud of the uptime of the trading environment,
so every now and then you will be working outside of regular business hours
to apply critical changes. This could be from your desk, your couch at home
or also inside of one of our datacenters abroad.
* Liaise with external vendors, exchanges and providers to explore new
technology solutions, implement new services or troubleshoot problems.

Your Skills and Experience:

* 5+ years of experience as a Network Engineer, with a passion for all aspects
of networking
