About the Role

The Role

You’ll be part of a core engineering team responsible for low-latency, high-throughput systems that sit directly on the trading path. The work spans strategy execution, market data processing, and core infrastructure, with a strong focus on performance and reliability.

You’ll collaborate closely with quants, traders, and other systems engineers, taking research ideas and turning them into robust, production-grade software.

Key Responsibilities

Design and develop high-performance C++ systems used in live trading
Build and optimise components for market data ingestion, pricing, and execution
Profile, tune, and debug systems where latency and throughput are critical
Contribute to system architecture and low-level design decisions
Maintain high engineering standards around testing, code quality, and reliability

Core Technical Requirements

Strong professional experience with modern C++ (C++17/20)
Deep understanding of data structures, algorithms, and low-level system behaviour
Experience working on latency-sensitive or performance-critical systems
Strong knowledge of Linux, memory management, and concurrency
Comfortable debugging complex issues across large, long-lived codebases

Additional Languages & Technologies (Nice to Have)

Experience with one or more of the following is a strong plus: Python, Rust, Go, Java, or C#
Experience with networking, TCP/UDP, multicast, or kernel-level tuning
Familiarity with build systems, CI/CD, and performance profiling tools

Nice to Have (But Not Required)

Exposure to electronic trading systems or financial markets
Experience with lock-free programming, custom allocators, or SIMD
Background in distributed systems or real-time systems
