Job Description
A leading trading firm in Austin is seeking a senior Telecom Hardware Infrastructure Manager to own the end‑to‑end delivery of mission‑critical, low‑latency network infrastructure supporting high‑performance, latency‑sensitive environments. This role is ideal for someone who has personally built and commissioned telecom hardware in the field-from rooftop acquisition and spectrum licensing to microwave link turn‑up and handover to operations. You will lead the deployment of point‑to‑point microwave, wireless backhaul, and telecom hardware infrastructure across multiple countries, working directly with regulators, landlords, vendors, and internal RF and network engineering teams. What We're Looking For 5+ years experience in telecom hardware, microwave, wireless backhaul, or network infrastructure deployment. Proven track record delivering point‑to‑point microwave links in live production environments. Hands‑on experience with site acquisition, rooftop access, tower leasing, and data‑centre connectivity. Direct ownership of spectrum licensing and telecom regulatory processes (European experience strongly preferred). Experience managing contractors, vendors, and on‑site installations. Comfortable operating across multiple countries and regulatory regimes. Technical & Professional Skills Strong understanding of microwave link design (frequency bands, antennas, path engineering, fade margins, power budgets). Familiarity with RF planning and link‑budget tools (Pathloss, ICS Telecom, EDX SignalPro). Solid project and program management skills (PMP / PRINCE2 a plus). Strong commercial and contract negotiation skills. Proficiency with project tracking tools (Jira, Confluence, MS Project, Smartsheet). Excellent written and verbal communication in English; German, French, or Dutch are strong advantages. Nice to Have Experience supporting low‑latency, high‑frequency trading, or financial‑services networks. Exposure to latency‑sensitive infrastructure, redundancy design, and performance optimization. Experience with fibre or dark‑fibre procurement alongside microwave. Existing relationships with European regulators, tower companies, or site‑access providers. Why Join Build and own high‑performance telecom hardware infrastructure with real business impact. Work in a fast‑moving fintech / trading‑adjacent environment where execution quality matters. High autonomy, visibility, and accountability. Competitive compensation and long‑term growth opportunities.
