familiarity with many technologies with strong people and process skills.
This balance between superb technology strength, interpersonal communication
skills and process ability is a fundamental requirement. The appropriate

networking, voice, security and market data services.

* This is both a technical and managerial role.

* The successful candidate can expect to have regular interaction
with the highest levels of management.

* Beyond management of the 7 team members and interaction with the
architectural and development teams, there is additional responsibility for
working with vendors and carriers; managing contracts and SLA's.
