Software Engineer

I am working directly with one of the highest performing systematic trading firms globally. This is a small, highly selective team building performance critical C++ systems that sit directly on the trading path, where latency, design decisions and engineering quality translate into real PnL. The work is focused on execution, market data and core infrastructure.

You would be designing and optimising low latency systems used in live trading, working end to end from architecture through to production, alongside researchers and traders where your code directly influences strategy performance. This environment tends to attract engineers who care deeply about performance, clean system design and solving technically difficult problems under real constraints. It is not a place for generalists or people who want to sit away from the impact of their work.

The bar is high. Deep C++ expertise is essential, particularly around memory, concurrency and performance. Most people coming into these teams have experience building latency sensitive systems and a strong academic background in a STEM subject.

Prior exposure to trading or financial systems is strongly preferred. Most engineering roles optimise for scale. This is about speed and precision, where small improvements have a direct and measurable impact on outcomes. #J-18808-Ljbffr
