About the Role
The Opportunity
You will play a central role in designing and scaling the infrastructure that powers the firm's high-frequency trading operations. Working closely with quantitative traders and fellow engineers, you will build and own core system components across execution, order management, real-time market data and exchange connectivity — across both centralised and decentralised trading venues. This is a technically deep, hands-on role in a lean, non-siloed engineering environment. Full global relocation support is provided.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop low-latency, high-throughput trading systems to support a broad range of algorithmic strategies
- Build and maintain robust connectivity with exchanges and protocols, ensuring reliable execution and seamless market access
- Develop and optimise OMS, pricing engines and smart order routing components
- Profile, tune and improve system performance to achieve ultra-fast execution at scale
- Collaborate directly with quantitative traders to translate trading ideas into production-grade systems
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience building and maintaining low-latency systems for algorithmic trading
- Production proficiency in C++ or Rust
- Hands-on experience integrating exchange and broker APIs, order management systems, pricing engines and smart order routers
- Strong systems-level understanding: performance profiling, memory management, OS tuning and debugging in latency-sensitive environments
- Background from an HFT firm, prop trading shop or quantitative market maker
- Open to relocation to Singapore
