Job summary

XTX Markets in Singapore is expanding its Datacentre Operations team. We seek an experienced datacentre engineer with networking and systems background to run the physical layer of the datacentre infrastructure.

The role combines hands-on server racking, cabling, power management and hardware refreshes, with collaboration across Trading Development and Procurement teams. Flexible weekends may be required.

Qualifications

• 5+ years working in datacentres or infrastructure operations.
• Hands-on experience with switches/routers and low-latency network design (Cisco, Mellanox, and Arista preferred).
• Proven experience building/operating low-latency trading infrastructure and APAC colocation projects.
• Network routing knowledge: BGP, OSPF and multicast routing (implementation and troubleshooting).

• Strong change management, documentation and verification discipline.
• Excellent communication skills for vendor coordination, exchange/Broker integration and remote-hands instruction.
• Due to the nature of our trading, some work would necessarily have to happen during weekends, as such flexibility to work on Saturdays (with time-off in lieu) or a willingness to work a shifted week would be necessary.
• Fluent in both Mandarin & English.

Responsibilities

• Lead and execute deployment of physical infrastructure in APAC datacentres primarily, and support datacentre operations activities globally.
• Supervise and execute large projects (colocation setup/expansions, moving large equipment) and maintain datacentres.
• Install and maintain well-ordered datacentre infrastructure (structured cabling, power, space and cooling capacity).
• Perform server integration work and hardware refreshes; coordinate with third parties for infrastructure support.
• Produce and maintain runbooks, install guides, test plans and post-change verification; review and approve changes.
• Assist with inventory and logistics tasks to support deployments.
