Senior C++ Software Engineer

I’m recruiting on behalf of a leading algorithmic-trading research company that develops and operates high-frequency trading systems.

This is an opportunity to join an experienced team of researchers and software engineers working on complex, data-intensive systems where performance, throughput and latency have a direct impact on real-world results.

What you’ll do

• Design, develop and optimize advanced distributed trading systems with demanding throughput and latency requirements.
• Take ownership of the full development lifecycle, from architecture and implementation through production and CI/CD.
• Work closely with quantitative researchers to build scalable infrastructure and develop algorithms for modeling financial markets.
• Develop tools and simulators for identifying market opportunities and analyzing competitive dynamics.
• Optimize performance across software and hardware, including bit-level and low-level considerations.
• Manage and monitor on-premises infrastructure and cloud environments running data-intensive pipelines.
• Contribute directly to live operational systems in a complex, research-oriented environment.

What you’ll need

• B.Sc. with honors in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics or Physics from a leading academic institution.
• Strong software engineering skills and experience developing scalable systems.
• Strong knowledge of C++, with hands-on development experience.
• A passion for large-scale data and data-driven decision-making.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Intellectual curiosity, independence, thoroughness and a high standard of execution.

Advantages

• Experience designing and developing large-scale enterprise or distributed systems.
• Experience with low-latency systems, performance optimization or high-throughput network programming.
• Background in algorithmic trading, financial markets or research-oriented development.

Why join

You’ll work alongside a highly experienced team on technically challenging systems where engineering decisions matter at every level-from architecture and distributed infrastructure to hardware-aware optimization.
