• Network Management – Coordinate with telecom providers and internal teams to maintain reliable low‑latency connectivity to exchanges and data centres. Keep network topology documentation audit‑ready.
• Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) – Drive automation of the trading system development process. Participate in the full SDLC – from requirements and architecture design to deployment – with strict version control, change management, and release governance.
• System Support – Work directly with traders and technology teams to resolve system issues, provide L1/L2 support, lead incident management, and use automation to prevent recurrence.
• AV Support – Ensure meeting room readiness daily, quickly respond to failures, and assist with hardware upgrades and deployment.
