- Data Center Engineer – Low Latency Trading Infrastructure (Mumbai) Location
- Mumbai, India (On-site)
About the Role
A leading low-latency trading firm is expanding its Mumbai data center operations team. They’re looking for a hands-on Data Center Engineer who understands the physical and network layers of ultra-low-latency infrastructure and can keep mission-critical trading systems running at peak performance.
This is not a standard DC ops role – you’ll be working in a performance-driven environment where milliseconds matter and operational excellence directly impacts trading outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
Install, rack, cable, and configure servers, network devices, and storage in a low-latency data center environment
Plan and optimise rack layouts, power distribution, cabling pathways, and patching schedules to support latency-sensitive workloads
Perform hardware diagnostics, break/fix, and RMA coordination with vendors to minimise downtime
Support deployment and maintenance of low-latency networking gear (switches, NICs, optics, transceivers, fiber infrastructure)
Work closely with network, systems, and trading infrastructure engineers on deployments, upgrades, and capacity planning
Maintain accurate documentation: rack elevations, asset inventory, cabling maps, change logs, and operational procedures
Monitor environmental conditions, power usage, and cooling; proactively identify and mitigate risks
Coordinate with colocation providers, smart-hands, and third-party vendors for onsite works and projects
Follow strict change management, security, and compliance processes in a regulated trading environment
Must-Have Experience
4+ years of hands-on data center engineering experience, ideally in a trading, fintech, or HPC environment
Strong practical knowledge of server hardware, network devices, and storage systems in production DCs
Experience with fiber optics, copper cabling, transceivers, and basic optical testing
Familiarity with Linux-based systems and basic CLI troubleshooting
Understanding of low-latency requirements and how physical design impacts performance (cable routing, port selection, NIC placement, etc.)
Ability to work under pressure, prioritise effectively, and respond quickly to incidents
Excellent attention to detail and commitment to documentation and process
Willingness to work flexible hours, including occasional evenings/weekends for changes or incidents
Nice-to-Have
Exposure to kernel-bypass networking (Onload, DPDK) or PTP/time-sync infrastructure
CCNA/CCNP or equivalent networking certification
Basic scripting skills (Bash/Python) for automation and reporting
Experience in colocation project rollouts or DC expansions
What’s on Offer
Competitive salary and performance-related bonus
Opportunity to work on cutting-edge, low-latency trading infrastructure
Exposure to global teams and complex, high-scale environments
Strong career progression into senior DC, network, or trading infrastructure roles
