C++ SOFTWARE ENGINEER – TRADING SYSTEMS

Overview

In this role you will build and optimize latency-sensitive C++ components for a real-time trading platform. You will work on market data processing, signal evaluation, and order routing within a high-performance, low-latency environment deployed to production. You’ll collaborate with researchers, infrastructure teams, and hardware specialists to own critical software from design to deployment. The opportunity combines low-level systems programming with impactful, production-ready architecture at scale.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement high-performance C++ systems used across trading infrastructure
• Work on real-time market data processing to order execution
• Optimize at micro-architectural level (cache, pipelines, memory layout)
• Contribute to distributed or parallel computation frameworks
• Collaborate with researchers, infrastructure teams, and hardware specialists
• Write clean, maintainable post-C++11 code and modernize components

Key requirements

• Strong command of modern C++ and tooling
• Deep understanding of system internals (memory management, caching, CPU pipelines)
• Solid knowledge of algorithms, data structures, and performance trade-offs
• Experience designing complex long-uptime/high-availability systems
• Familiarity with Linux systems and tooling is beneficial but not essential
• Comfortable working independently on technically challenging problems
• No finance background required—engineering fluency

• Independent problem solving
• Cross-functional collaboration
• Strong analytical mindset
• Modern C++ (C++11 and beyond)
• System internals (memory management, caching, CPU pipelines)
• Algorithms and data structures
