We’re building meaningful ways to support professional and personal development while strengthening the trust we’ve earned as a global market leader. Our teams are empowered to share ideas, actively pursue them and bring on a challenge. As champions of internal mobility and access to opportunity, we encourage our people to “go for it” and equip our managers with the training to coach their teams to the next level.

Role Overview The Sr. Manager of Network Engineering is a senior technical leader responsible for leading a high-performing network engineering team that designs, builds, and operates the low-latency infrastructure supporting Cboe’s global financial exchange platforms. This role sits at the intersection of hands-on technical depth and strategic execution, ensuring the network consistently meets the performance, reliability, and determinism required for global markets.

Cboe’s network directly underpins market integrity and fairness, requiring expert-level understanding of low-latency architecture, routing design, and the practical limitations of network hardware and software platforms. This is not a generalist leadership role—technical credibility and the ability to guide engineers through complex, research-driven design and implementation work is essential. The Sr. Manager is expected to operate independently, own outcomes end-to-end, and align engineering efforts to key business and market initiatives with a strong “make it happen” mindset.

The team is responsible for a broad and evolving network footprint, including low-latency trading infrastructure, global WAN/MPLS, hybrid cloud connectivity, remote office networking, network authentication, packet capture and timestamping systems, and automation tooling. The Sr. Manager works closely with Network Operations and Security teams to provide escalation support, drive resolution of complex issues, and ensure seamless collaboration across infrastructure domains.

Success in this role requires the ability to lead in a fast-paced, highly dynamic environment with shifting priorities and parallel workstreams. The Sr. Manager serves as a technical authority, mentor, and decision-maker—setting direction, establishing best practices, and driving execution across both strategic projects and day-to-day operations. Strong communication skills are critical, including the ability to clearly articulate technical risks, trade-offs, and priorities to senior leadership while maintaining alignment across engineering teams.

Your responsibilities will be:

• Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing network engineering team, fostering technical excellence, strong accountability, and disciplined engineering practices across a global, multi-region environment
• Drive strategic network initiatives from concept through execution, including pre-implementation research, design validation, vendor evaluation, and production deployment, ensuring high-quality delivery and strong execution discipline
• Own the architecture and long-term evolution of low-latency trading network infrastructure, guiding design decisions around topology, routing, performance optimization, and scalability in environments where latency and determinism are critical
• Partner closely with senior technical contributors, including Principal Engineers, to lead complex design efforts, validate architectural decisions, and raise the overall technical bar of the organization
• Manage a dynamic project portfolio, continuously reprioritizing work based on business needs, market events, and operational risk while maintaining alignment to key strategic initiatives
• Collaborate across infrastructure, security, cloud, and application teams to deliver integrated solutions, ensuring reliable, secure, and high-performance connectivity across all …
