- Position C++ Development (Senior Manager)
- Grade Senior Manager Department Technology
- Job Description /Roles & Responsibilities
- - The Technical Lead – C++ Development (Senior Manager) will act as the core technical authority and delivery anchor for our ultra-low-latency
- engineering pod. This role balances hands-on, high-performance C++ systems programming (roughly 60–70% of the time) with technical
- mentorship and agile sprint management (30–40%).
- The ideal candidate will bridge the gap between high-level architectural designs and concrete, microsecond-optimized code implementation.
- Core Role Information
- • Designation: Technical Lead (Senior Manager) – C++
- Development
- • Department: Technology
- • Reporting To: Assistant Vice President (AVP) – Development Head
- Key Responsibilities
- 1. Hands-on Low-Latency Systems Engineering
- • Write, optimize, and maintain high-performance execution
- engines and market data applications using Contemporary C++
- (C++17/20).
- • Implement deterministic, low-latency programming paradigms,
- strictly avoiding runtime heap allocations (malloc/new) on the
- trading hot-path through custom memory pools and placement
- new.
- • Develop ultra-fast Inter-Process Communication (IPC)
- frameworks—such as shared memory rings and lock-free circular
- queues—to pass data across trading components with sub-
- microsecond overhead.
- - • Design highly concurrent, multi-threaded workflows, configuring
- thread affinity (pthread_setaffinity_np) and optimizing data
- layouts to prevent CPU cache thrashing and lock contention.
- - • Incorporate proprietary template-based architectures or High-
- Level Template (HTL) constructs to shift computational logic to compile-time.
- - 2. Core Data Engineering & Domain Integration
- - Classification: Confidential
- - • Apply expert-level knowledge of Data Structures and Algorithms
- to engineer optimal custom indexing, sorting, and binary parsing
- solutions.
- • Design and maintain high-throughput relational tracking
- databases using MySQL for order logs,



risk configurations, and
- reference data management.
- • Leverage trading domain knowledge to translate complex
- financial logic (such as order routing, compliance checks, risk
- management parameters, or exchange protocols like FIX, ITCH, or
- SBE) into concrete technical implementations.
- 3. Technical Leadership & Code Governance
- • Lead daily sprint cycles, translate functional specifications into
- technical tasks, and ensure timely product delivery.
- • Enforce absolute code quality via strict peer code reviews,
- continuous profiling (using tools like Valgrind, gprof, or Perf), and
- performance regression benchmarking.
- • Provide daily technical guidance and mentorship to engineers,
- establishing standardized coding guidelines for the team.
- Job Specific Skills • C++ & Metaprogramming Expertise: Exceptional mastery of
- systems-level C++, including template metaprogramming, RAII,
- smart pointers, and strict memory safety.
- - • Concurrency Mastery: Practical experience writing production-
- grade, lock-free, atomic, and multi-threaded processing pipelines.
- - • Low-Latency Infrastructure: Transparent understanding of CPU
- architectures (cache line synchronization, branch predictors) and
- Linux OS tuning (core isolation, kernel bypass).
- • Data Layout & DB Optimization: Advanced ability to optimize
- algorithms for hardware cache locality and structure complex
- database queries, indexes, and schemas in MySQL.
- • HTL Frameworks: Experience using template libraries or
- customized HTL concepts to achieve zero-overhead abstractions.
- Minimum Qualifications & Experience
- • Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science,
- Computer Engineering, or a related quantitative stream.
- • Experience: 8+ years of professional software development
- experience in systems programming, with at least 3+ years of
- experience leading small-to-mid-sized developer teams or pods.
- • Domain Advantage: Prior background in High-Frequency Trading
- (HFT), investment bank execution desks, derivatives risk systems,
- or market data feeds is highly desirable.
