About the job
Toss Securities is seeking an IDC Infrastructure Engineer (Network & System) to help build and maintain the backbone of our data center operations in Seoul. This position focuses on ensuring the stability, efficiency, and continuous improvement of our large-scale infrastructure, covering everything from network design to physical equipment and operational processes. The role is primarily based at our modern data center (IDC), working closely with a team of network and system engineers.
What you will do
- Design hardware architectures for network and server infrastructure, including equipment selection and implementation standards.
- Develop data center network architectures (such as Spine-Leaf and redundancy) and server/storage configurations.
- Define technical standards for bandwidth, NIC specifications (10G/25G/100G/400G), cabling (OM, LR/SR, MPO), and switch port setups.
- Plan physical infrastructure, taking into account rack space, power, and environmental needs.
- Set and manage organization-wide standards for equipment models, firmware, and configuration templates.
- Install, configure, and operate servers, storage, and network equipment on site, driving ongoing improvements.
- Oversee equipment transport, installation, and relocation, ensuring quality and safety throughout the process.
- Coordinate with contractors for cabling and equipment setup, maintaining technical standards and quality control.
- Monitor the IDC environment (power, temperature, network, equipment status) and respond proactively to anomalies.
- Lead first-level incident response and root cause analysis, working to prevent recurrence and resolve complex issues across network, system, and physical layers.
- Manage the lifecycle of IDC assets, ensuring data integrity and optimizing long-term operational plans for capacity, power, and space.
- Collaborate with colocation service providers and partners to manage schedules, quality, and costs.
- Automate repetitive operational tasks, such as firmware upgrades and configuration deployments, and build monitoring/CMDB integrations using SNMP and REST API.
- Establish and refine operational standards, procedures, and policies for ongoing efficiency.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of experience in data center (IDC) or infrastructure design and operations.
- Experience designing data center network architectures (Spine-Leaf, redundancy, etc.).
- Understanding of server/storage hardware and operating systems (Linux, Windows, Hypervisor).
- Ability to design at the hardware level, with knowledge of NICs, cabling, and switch ASICs.
- Experience with IDC space planning, rack layout, power, and space design and operations.
- Background in large-scale equipment installation, relocation, and asset management within IDC operations.
- Problem-solving skills that address both physical and logical aspects of incidents.
- Strong communication skills for effective collaboration with contractors and internal teams.
- Experience with equipment implementation proof-of-concept (PoC), vendor evaluation, and performance validation.
- Proven ability to create infrastructure standard documents, such as design guides and operational procedures.
