Network Engineer

Verition Fund Management LLC (“Verition”) is a multi-strategy, multi-manager hedge fund founded in 2008. Verition focuses on global investment strategies including Global Credit, Global Convertible, Volatility & Capital Structure Arbitrage, Event-Driven Investing, Equity Long/Short & Capital Markets Trading, and Global Quantitative Trading.

Our software engineers tackle some of the most challenging problems in finance. We design the core platforms and infrastructure, build sophisticated risk management tools, and scale distributed systems that analyze exceptional volumes of data in real time. Everything we build is in service of sharpening the firm’s trading edge. We focus on high-impact problems aligned to commercial goals, so the work is both technically engaging and personally rewarding.

Our engineers are versatile, lead from where they sit, and take on new problems across the stack as we push to be the very best at what we do.

The Platform and Infrastructure group engineers and operates the foundational systems that power every application and business  disciplines span datacenter infrastructure to large-scale cloud services, with a shared goal: providing the most reliable, performant, and modern technology stack possible to accelerate time‑to‑market for the businesses we support. We work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where challenging the status quo of our infrastructure is the expectation, not the exception.

Network Engineering owns the platform that connects every application, trading system, cloud environment, and user s is deep, hands‑on infrastructure work spanning high‑performance datacenter fabrics, cloud networking, internet edge, market connectivity, and automation. The platform is engineered for resiliency, predictable performance, and operational consistency today, while continuously evolving to support the increasingly latency‑sensitive demands of a quantitative trading firm. As a Senior Network Platform Engineer, you’ll own significant portions of that surface directly—from designing modern datacenter fabrics and optimizing routing convergence to building the tooling and automation that enables the network to operate as a cohesive platform rather than a collection of individual devices.

• Engineer, operate, and continuously improve the firm’s global network platform across private data centers, cloud environments, internet edge, colocation facilities, and market connectivity, holding it to the reliability, performance, and security standards demanded by a quantitative trading environment.
• Design, build, and evolve modern datacenter fabrics using technologies such as EVPN/VXLAN, BGP, and leaf‑spine architectures, emphasizing predictable performance, fast convergence, operational simplicity, and scalability.
• Engineer high‑performance network infrastructure supporting market connectivity, cloud services, and critical production applications, continuously improving latency, resiliency, and operational efficiency.
• Design and operate resilient routing, switching, WAN, multicast, DNS, load balancing, and internet edge services that provide a stable foundation for the firm’s global infrastructure.
• Measure, analyze, and optimize network performance using telemetry, packet captures, synthetic testing, and performance instrumentation, identifying opportunities to reduce latency, improve convergence, and increase platform resiliency.
• Build and maintain automation for provisioning, configuration, validation, compliance, and monitoring using Python, APIs, and modern infrastructure management practices.
• Continuously improve the network platform through automation, standardization, and tooling that reduce operational overhead, improve consistency, and simplify lifecycle management.
• Own significant portions of the firm’s network architecture across datacenter, cloud, WAN, internet edge, DNS, DDoS protection, load balancing, and network observability.
• Define and enforce network security standards in partnership with Security Engineering, including segmentation, secure routing, encrypted transport, privileged access, and Zero Trust principles.
• Partner closely…
