About the role

Job Title: HPC Network Engineer | High-Performance Infrastructure
Location: New York or Chicago preferred | Other US locations considered (Flexible work arrangements)
Salary: Up to $800,000 TC (Depending on experience)
Do you want to join a global quantitative trading firm expanding the high-performance infrastructure behind its research and computing platforms. You’ll join a lean engineering team with ownership across network architecture, deployment and operations. With a long-term data centre expansion programme underway, you’ll help shape how large-scale infrastructure is designed, built and supported.
What you’ll do: Design, deploy and support high-performance Ethernet and RoCEv2 data centre networks. Develop BGP-based connectivity supporting HPC/GPU infrastructure. Troubleshoot complex network issues and improve performance, capacity and reliability. Improve automation using internal tools. Work closely with compute, storage and data centre teams on infrastructure expansion.
What we’re looking for: Strong hands-on BGP, Ethernet and RoCEv2 networking experience. Experience across at least two areas: network design, deployment and operations. Strong troubleshooting skills and an understanding of how networks work beneath the management tools. An automation mindset—you don’t need to be a software developer. The initiative to own technical problems and work independently. Optics experience is highly desirable, particularly transceiver diagnostics, troubleshooting and interpreting EEPROM data. If this could be any of interest, apply now!

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
