Requirements
Must:
We are looking for an exceptional candidate with expert-level proficiency in modern C++, showcasing a deep understanding of low-level systems programming. You should have a strong grasp of computer architecture, concurrency, and performance engineering. Experience with kernel bypass technologies, such as DPDK or Solarflare/OpenOnload, as well as high-performance networking is essential. Familiarity with Linux internals, NUMA, CPU affinity, and custom memory management is also critical. A proven track record of building latency-critical systems in trading, gaming, or telecom environments will make you a strong fit. Additionally, experience with FPGA acceleration, RDMA, or custom NIC firmware is a bonus.
Responsibilities
In this role, you will architect and implement high-performance C++ systems with extreme latency sensitivity. You will optimise every layer of the stack, from CPU cache and memory allocation to kernel bypass and network I/O. Collaboration is key, as you will work alongside traders, quants, and infrastructure engineers to deliver robust, scalable, and lightning-fast trading solutions. Profiling, benchmarking, and tuning systems using advanced tooling and custom diagnostics will be part of your responsibilities. Furthermore, you will contribute to the design of proprietary protocols, lock-free data structures, and real-time analytics pipelines.
Description
We offer a unique opportunity to work with some of the fastest systems and the smartest minds in the industry. Your work will have a direct impact on trading performance and strategy execution. You will gain access to bespoke infrastructure, cutting-edge hardware, and proprietary tooling. Our culture embraces excellence with a flat structure, minimal bureaucracy, and a relentless focus on performance. We provide compensation at the top end of the market, along with significant upside tied to your impact. If you are ready to take on this challenge, we encourage you to apply now!
