Maven is a market-leading proprietary trading firm allocating internal capital across discretionary, systematic, and market-making strategies. Our collective expertise spans traders, engineers, and technologists, unified by an unwavering dedication to enhance our efficiency as a premier liquidity provider for globally listed derivatives. We leverage groundbreaking execution and pricing technologies to elevate and improve how financial markets operate.

The Maven Infrastructure team is a set of broad-minded technologists with diverse backgrounds, who focus on continuously improving the end-to-end performance, resiliency, scalability, visibility, and supportability of Maven's computing systems.

  • Proactively identify enhancements to existing configurations, technologies and procedures to improve performance
  • Own and project manage global network initiatives from requirements gathering, design review, implementation, deployment and documentation
  • Contribute to the documentation of network processes, systems, and configurations
  • Collaborate with systems teams to build and manage manage datacenter infrastructure
  • Maintain network security infrastructure to ensure perimeter protection and that internal environments remain appropriately separated


What we’re looking for:

  • Previous experience working on complex, high performance networks at a global scale
  • Demonstrable experience implementing complex projects from initiation through production handover
  • Experience with point to point low latency wireless networks and knowledge of RF principles
  • Passionate about troubleshooting and getting to the root cause of incidents
  • Be experienced with net-ops tools for configuration management, and network monitoring and analysis
  • Experience with Cisco, Arista, and/or Juniper hardware and the associated network operating systems
  • Experience working with high performance networking fabrics or matrix switches
  • Experience with optical tap and packet capture infrastructure
  • Deep knowledge of multicast networking and configuration
  • Strong working knowledge of Linux
  • Scripting skills in python to automate tasks and perform analysis
  • CCIE level knowledge and experience
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; experience collaborating in global teams


What we offer:

  • Amazing opportunity to be a key member of a highly ambitious trading firm.
  • A decentralised global engineering environment
  • Great friendly, informal and highly rewarding culture
  • Fast growing global firm with plenty of opportunity where you will have significant impact
