Build and optimize ultra-low-latency trading infrastructure, connecting global markets while delivering resilient, high-performance systems through expert C++, networking, distributed systems, and innovative technology solutions.

What You'll Do:

Join a high-performance technology team building modern research and trading infrastructure where speed, reliability, scalability, and engineering excellence are critical.

Your responsibilities will include:

  1. Architect, develop, and optimize low-latency trading systems and infrastructure.
  2. Build and maintain connectivity to global exchanges and liquidity venues.
  3. Develop order management systems covering order routing, risk controls, and real-time state management.
  4. Profile, benchmark, and tune systems for ultra-low latency and high throughput.
  5. Collaborate closely with quantitative researchers, systematic portfolio managers, traders, and technology specialists.
  6. Design highly available, resilient systems and participate in on-call support when required.
  7. Evaluate emerging technologies and engineering practices for greenfield platform development.
  8. Apply automated testing, CI/CD, and robust software engineering principles throughout the development lifecycle.

Why Join Us:

Work on technically challenging systems where milliseconds matter and exceptional engineering directly influences trading performance. You'll have the opportunity to shape greenfield technology, solve complex infrastructure problems, and work alongside experts across quantitative research, trading, and technology.

About You:

You are an accomplished C++ engineer with expert knowledge of modern C++ standards and proven experience developing production-grade, low-latency, high-throughput systems. You bring strong foundations in algorithms, data structures, distributed systems, Linux, networking, and performance optimization.

You are comfortable working with TCP/UDP, multicast, profiling tools, Python or other modern languages, and automated testing. Experience with systematic or algorithmic trading is highly valued, alongside knowledge of FPGA, kernel bypass, RDMA, cloud-native platforms, Docker, or Kubernetes.

Most importantly, you're a collaborative problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced global environment and enjoys turning complex technical challenges into reliable, high-performance solutions.
