About the Position
We are looking for an experienced Data Centre Engineer who can help our team keep Jane Street’s data safe and accessible around the clock, involving a mix of hands-on work in our data and colocation centres, process thinking, and project management.
Your work will mostly involve designing, building, scaling, and performing daily upkeep in our regional data and colocation centres. You’ll also get to collaborate with really talented people from all different areas of expertise across Jane Street to optimise our data environments and prevent major problems before they happen.
You will join an interdisciplinary team made up of several groups across Jane Street, including our Network, Server, Facilities Engineering, Market Data, and Trading teams, along with some external data centre operators, colocation and smart hands service providers, and cabling, hardware, and telco vendors. Together, you will:
- Design plans for new equipment deployments using data centre best practices
- Coordinate logistical tasks across locations, including procurement, shipping, moving, and keeping inventory of our equipment, cabling, and parts
- Install and configure server OS in a PXE environment (fundamental Linux knowledge is required to deploy our network equipment)
- Install, cable, configure, and troubleshoot different types of network and server equipment
- Ensure that all our data centres uphold the highest standards in terms of security, organisation, documentation, safety, cleanliness, and supply management
