    • Work cross-functionally with DevOps, Security, and Trading Infrastructure teams.
    •  
    • Compliance & Security:

    • Create audit-ready logs and reports to support regulatory and security reviews.

    • Experience with enterprise-grade networking hardware (Cisco, Arista, Juniper).
    • Strong understanding of automation frameworks and version control (Git, CI/CD pipelines).

Preferred Skills:

    • Experience working in capital markets or low-latency financial trading infrastructure.
    • Exposure to SDN platforms and network APIs (e.g., NETCONF, RESTCONF, gNMI).
