Is it common to have a job in HF trading as C++/infrastructure architect guy, but having no interest in quantitative or any other type of finance? I mean no interest in strategies.

Yes. Most of the people who work in an very HFT firm will be developers and ops people who are good at integrating cutting edge technologies. An understanding of how the exchanges operate is useful but knowledge of finance isn't really required.
