A fast-growing trading firm is expanding its U.S. infrastructure and is seeking a Data Center Engineer to join its new team in Miami.
This role is unique: while it is primarily data center oriented, it also includes on-site IT support responsibilities for the Miami office. The engineer will act as the go-to technical resource locally, supported by the infrastructure team, with the autonomy to directly influence both mission-critical trading systems and day-to-day IT operations.
The environment spans Miami, New Jersey and Chicago, with the engineer playing a central role in ensuring the reliability and performance of low-latency, high-availability systems.
Data Center Responsibilities;
- Execute hardware installation and configuration plans prepared by network engineers
- Perform validation checks after installations (e.g., server reachability, BGP session status).
- Commission and maintain servers, switches, firewalls, and specialty trading hardware.
- Coordinate and manage smart hands services with colocation providers.
- Support asset tracking, capacity planning, and change management processes.
Local IT & Office Responsibilities;
- Act as the primary IT Operations contact in Miami, dedicating approximately 20-30% of time to local support.
- Set up and configure workstations, handle help desk requests and perform basic troubleshooting.
- Lead IT aspects of office moves or redesigns (cabling, connectivity, AV setup, etc.).
- Collaborate with European IT/Infra teams and escalate issues when needed.
Your Profile;
- 36 years of experience across data center operations, IT support, or infrastructure engineering.
- Solid foundation in rack-and-stack, structured cabling and power chain setup.
- Familiarity with systems troubleshooting and network protocols (e.g., IP addressing, routing/BGP basics).
- Comfortable balancing data center work and end-user IT support.
- Experience coordinating colocation exchanges or remote-hands services.
- Proactive and adaptable – able to work independently in a small, high-impact environment.
- Motivated by scale: the firms infrastructure includes 2 operational DCs, 2 in setup, and 2 more planned across NJ, Miami, and Chicago (12 racks each)
Growth Opportunities;
- Join a ground-floor infrastructure team supporting U.S. expansion.
- Gain visibility across both mission-critical trading systems and local IT operations.
- Contribute directly to uptime, latency and scalability outcomes.
- Work in a culture with no bureaucracy – just execution and innovation.
Benefits;
- Competitive base salary aligned with experience and performance.
- Annual performance-based bonus.
- Potential equity or long-term incentive participation.
- Comprehensive relocation package (flights, housing search, onboarding support).
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
- 25 days of paid vacation per year.
- On-site meals, collaborative engineering culture and regular team events.
This is a career-defining opportunity for an engineer ready to combine data center expertise with IT operations to support a low-latency trading environment and a high-performing office setup.
