• Set infrastructure strategy:
  Own the architecture, operating model, investment roadmap, and service levels for trading infrastructure across data centers, colocation facilities, networks, compute, storage, and cloud services where appropriate.
• Deliver low-latency performance:
  Measure and improve the path from market-data receipt through order submission and venue acknowledgment.
• Address tail latency, jitter, packet loss, throughput, and performance under peak load—not just average response times.
• Lead high-performance networking:
  Oversee exchange and venue connectivity, cross-connects, routing, multicast market data, bandwidth and burst capacity, time synchronization, and diagnosis of congestion or microbursts.
• Support distinct trading workflows:
  Ensure infrastructure meets principal trading needs for pricing, quoting, hedging, position visibility, and risk limits, as well as agency trading needs for client order intake, algorithmic execution, routing, timestamps, and complete order and execution records.
• Build resilience:
  Define recovery objectives, engineer failover, test disaster recovery under realistic conditions, and maintain readiness for market-open incidents, volume spikes, and venue disruptions.
• Lead operations and incidents:
  Establish observability, capacity planning, on-call practices, and disciplined incident response.
• Communicate business impact promptly and drive corrective actions that address root causes.
• Establish governance:
  Set standards and decision rights for architecture, service ownership, change management, access, security, vendor risk, and operational controls.
• Maintain transparent reporting on service health, exceptions, and risk.
• Work across the organization:
  Partner with trading desks, product and application engineering, cybersecurity, risk, compliance, operations, finance, procurement, and client-facing teams to align priorities and resolve trade-offs.

  Use performance data, incident reviews, automation, and engineering feedback to remove recurring problems and demonstrate sustained gains in reliability, recovery, efficiency, and cost.
• Guide modernization:
  Lead large-scale platform change and adopt Dev Ops, data, and AI-enabled engineering practices where they provide measurable value, with appropriate security, governance, and responsible-AI controls.
• Represent infrastructure at the executive level:
  Present a compelling platform vision, make evidence-based investment recommendations, and provide calm, credible updates during incidents and periods of change.
