My client is a global, technologist-driven quant firm where cutting-edge research and ultra-low-latency engineering unite to move real capital in real time. Every line of code committed reaches live markets quickly and measurably influences PnL.
What Is the Opportunity? - You will sit on the trading desk, collaborating daily with quantitative researchers and portfolio managers. Your work ships to production in real time.
- Building ultra-low-latency stack (single-digit microseconds), custom network hardware, and unrestricted high-performance compute: whatever is required to push performance.
- From concept and design through implementation, deployment and continuous optimisation, you will own the full life-cycle of your solutions.
- Tackle challenges across execution engines, terabyte-scale research platforms and advanced analytics.
- Extremely strong compensation, performance-driven bonuses, and relocation/visa support where needed.
Your Core Strengths: - Expert command of modern C++ (C++20/23) and a rigorous understanding of systems internals - CPU architecture, memory hierarchy, operating systems and networking.
- Demonstrated ability to design, implement and maintain production-grade, performance-critical systems with minimal oversight.
- Clear, concise communication and a collaborative mindset in a fast-moving environment.
Helpful Extras: - Python for data analysis and tooling.
- Experience within quantitative trading, market-making or other latency-sensitive domains.
