Telco Engineer

About the Position

We are looking for a strategic Telecom (Telco) Engineer with a strong understanding of capacity, demand management and telecom operations who can help us shape the direction of telco at Jane Street and our larger network infrastructure.

Our numerous distributed systems are built on a reliable, multi-vendor network infrastructure that supports all traffic profiles, from trading to internet connectivity. These systems are critical to our daily business – they connect our people worldwide and keep us growing. We are almost always working on expansions, new builds and additional connectivity, all while supporting a network that meets a 100% uptime requirement. We think a lot about integration, resilience and capacity, and our goal is to do our work so smoothly that users never notice.

We will rely on your expertise and existing telco relationships to create the blueprint for our telco systems based on future needs and current usage. You’ll work closely with our traders, engineers, developers and systems teams to identify their needs and help them explore options on the latest, cutting-edge telco offerings in terms of geo-diversity, cost, latency, throughput and improved tooling.

Managing projects and relationships with service providers is a key part of this role. You will be responsible for ensuring that carriers meet their service-level agreements and proactively keep Jane Street aware of their newest available routes.
