• Manage and monitor Symantec Enterprise Vault and eVault Backup systems.
• Assist in developing, implementing, and monitoring network security policies.
• Maintain and test disaster recovery systems and update procedures.
• Provide daily trading floor technology support for Reuters Data Feed, RMDS, DACS, Kobra, Data Mirror, and other market data tools.

What You Bring

• Strong Windows networking skills with Windows Server and Exchange.
• Extensive experience with Market Data systems (Reuters RMDS, DACS, Kondor), Red Hat Linux Enterprise (Squid Proxy, Smart Filter), MS Office, Outlook, and data communication equipment.
• Database management experience with SQL Server and Sybase ASE.
• Security expertise with Check Point Firewall, RSA SecureID, and VMWare vSphere.
• Clear, confident communication skills and proven ability to prioritize effectively.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related discipline (required).
• Previous experience in a NYC-based branch of an international bank strongly preferred.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a prestigious global bank with a long-standing presence in New York.
• Work in a hybrid model: 3 days onsite in a collaborative, professional Midtown Manhattan office.
• Enjoy competitive compensation and one of the best benefits packages in the industry.
