Build the Fastest Systems in Global Markets
Are you looking for a role where your ideas ship fast, your code runs live, and your work shapes how modern markets move?
We’re looking for a C++ engineer to join a high-performance team pushing the boundaries of low-latency trading. You’ll design, optimize, and deploy real-time systems where every nanosecond counts – running on world-class hardware, deployed across global co-location sites, and supporting some of the most advanced strategies in modern markets.
This role blends deep technical challenge with real-world impact. You’ll work across the full stack of performance – software, hardware, and networking and collaborate with some of the sharpest minds in trading, systems, and infrastructure.
What You’ll Build:
- High-performance systems that process market data, manage risk, and execute trades in microseconds or less
- Custom tick-to-trade pipelines designed for maximum determinism, throughput, and efficiency
- Low-level components tuned for cache alignment, memory models, and lock-free concurrency
- Integrations with advanced networking technologies including DPDK, Solarflare/Onload, and RDMA
- Observability and diagnostics tools built in-house to trace latencies from wire to CPU
What You’ll Work With:
- Modern C++ (C++20/23) with custom frameworks built for speed and safety
- DPDK, XDP/eBPF and kernel-bypass networking stacks
- High-precision PTP-based timing, packet timestamping, and custom time sync infrastructure
- Advanced performance profiling tools: perf, Intel PCM, custom tracing frameworks
- The latest CPUs, NICs, and co-location deployments at global exchanges
The Company:
- Speed is the strategy. Every microsecond matters and your code shapes how they win in the market.
- Engineering leads here. Youll have real influence, drive decisions, and ship high-stake systems that matter.
- Full ownership, front to back. Design it. Build it. Tune it. Run it. Its yours.
- Tools that push limits. World-class infra, custom hardware, and benchmarking at your fingertips.
- Grow without ceilings. Whether you’re into ultra-low latency, systems design, or scaling globally.
Your Profile:
- Strong experience with modern C++ (C++17 and beyond), ideally in low-latency or real-time systems
- Deep understanding of computer architecture, concurrency, memory management, and networking
- Curiosity and drive to explore every layer of performance, from compiler flags to wire protocols
- Experience working close to the hardware – profiling, optimizing, and iterating fast
- A builders mindset and a desire to work on problems that are intellectually demanding and commercially impactful
