Role: AWS & Low Latency Infrastructure Engineer Location: Gurugram, India (on-site) Description: In a domain where microseconds matter and cloud-native edge counts, tensorfox is building systems to compete head-to-head with high-frequency trading firms — but on crypto rails. We are seeking a deeply technical infrastructure engineer who knows AWS inside out and has lived and breathed low latency. You’ll design and maintain the foundational systems that allow us to see, act, and win faster than the competition — across global markets and ephemeral network conditions. While the core focus is latency and performance, you’ll also own key aspects of DevOps: automation, observability, and reliable deploy pipelines. This isn’t about managing dashboards — it’s about engineering systems that deliver speed without fragility. The Mission Architect and operate ultra-low latency infrastructure optimized for AWS-based crypto exchanges (e.g., Binance). Benchmark and reduce every millisecond across the stack — network hops, instance placement, serialization, and code execution. Own AWS infrastructure: design for resilience, tune for performance, automate for scale. Set up and manage CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and system observability. Collaborate with trading and engineering teams to deploy and monitor high-performance market data and order execution pipelines. Build observability systems that don’t just monitor — they help predict and prevent latency degradation. Stay current on the evolving cloud exchange landscape and proactively adapt systems to maintain a competitive edge. The Skills and Qualifications Deep experience with AWS networking, compute, and systems internals — EC2, ENA, placement groups, Nitro, latency tuning. Strong grasp of Linux performance tuning, networking (TCP/UDP, DNS, BGP), and low-level debugging tools (e.g., perf, tcpdump, strace). Hands-on experience optimizing for low latency in a trading, gaming, or real-time systems environment. Comfortable with infrastructure automation — Terraform, Ansible, or similar. Experience building and maintaining CI/CD workflows and monitoring infrastructure. Programming proficiency for infrastructure tooling (Python preferred). Bonus: Familiarity with Rust or C++ in performance-critical systems. Bonus: Exposure to crypto exchanges, market data APIs, or cloud-based trading infra. Bonus: Experience with kernel bypass (DPDK), FPGA, or other high-performance network stacks. The Compensation A starting salary of $40,000 – 50,000 USD per year (depending on experience). For the right infrastructure engineer — latency-aware, automation-savvy, and cloud-native — this is a high-impact foundational role. Equity and/or performance-linked upside may be available for candidates who can demonstrably move the needle on latency and execution speed.
