Interface with application owners and traders to enable business workflows in a secure way

Proactively enhance support by improving network infrastructure observability, scripting, and communicating requirements to our software engineers

A holistic approach to system design is critical for this role. The Networking department prioritizes flexibility, compatibility, and efficiency when crafting solutions, all while seeking ongoing buy-in and feedback from users across the firm. Our firm’s culture prizes intellectual humility, openness, and continuous improvement, which translates directly to the daily work of this team. We’re all partners working towards shared goals and are always looking for the next best idea that will make our work stronger.
