Wireless Network Engineer - Quant Trading infrastructure

Radley James

A leading quantitative trading fund is expanding its core infrastructure team to support the next generation of ultra-low latency market access. Renowned for its algorithmic edge and continuous investment in custom technology, the firm operates across all major global financial markets at high frequency.

Check out the role overview below If you are confident you have got the right skills and experience, apply today.

As a Network Engineer, you will own, automate, and optimize the firm's live, high-frequency wireless tower network connecting key trading hubs across the US:

  • Maintain live topology maps, path visualizers, and health monitoring tools to ensure zero packet loss across line-of-sight routes.
  • Build production-grade Python automation scripts and telemetry pipelines that proactively identify potential connectivity degradation.
  • Perform real-time troubleshooting, outage response, and performance tuning on microsecond-sensitive, production infrastructure.
  • Direct field crews, vendors, and tower operators on physical upgrades, spectrum adjustments, and path optimization.

Qualifications

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience in RF, telecom, or network operations.
  • Practical Python coding experience for automation, device integration, and data pipelines (building tools used by other engineers, not just one-off scripts).
  • Solid foundation in RF fundamentals (path analysis, signal modulation, spectrum analysis, interference, antenna systems) and network engineering (routing, multicast, L1 optical, SNMP, out-of-band management). xhyhwjd
  • Hands-on proficiency in Linux/UNIX environments, advanced shell usage, and git-based workflows.

This opportunity offers a highly competitive compensation package and hybrid working arrangement; along with relocation support should US-based candidates need it.
