Infrastructure Engineer

Your job

As an Infrastructure Engineer at Mathrix Netherlands you are responsible for designing, improving and deploying Mathrix' physical and digital infrastructure. You spend a lot of time setting up (low latency) network routes, writing code and building the tools to automate the constantly changing on‑premise hardware and cloud infrastructure for both the production trading and development environments. You configure the provisioning with security, integrity and low latency performance in mind.

Leveraging the infrastructure pipelines you will be able to work on performance testing hardware and software configuration projects to aid the low latency trading.
