Design, build and optimise high-performance C++ systems used in a high-frequency trading workplace
Develop and improve exchange connectivity, market data and execution infrastructure
Improve latency, throughput and reliability across distributed systems
Build clean,
maintainable software using modern C++
Work closely with traders and quantitative researchers to deliver ideas into production
Profile, benchmark and optimise system performance
Contribute to the ongoing evolution of the firm's trading platform and engineering tooling
What we're looking for
Solid commercial experience with modern C++
Experience within top-tier HFT/electronic trading/market making
Experience building high-performance, distributed or latency-sensitive systems
Good understanding of networking and concurrent programming
Solid problem-solving skills and a desire to tackle complex technical challenges
Why join?
Fully remote
Small, highly selective team of engineers, traders and researchers
Direct ownership of projects from idea to production
Flat structure with minimal bureaucracy
Performance-critical systems with immediate business impact
