C++ Developer, Low-Latency Trading Systems Firm: Leading global proprietary trading firm<\/p>\n

About the firm<\/p>\n

Our client is a highly successful proprietary trading firm that trades only its own capital across global markets. Technology is at the core of its edge: it builds its trading systems in-house, from market data to order execution. Engineers work in small, flat teams alongside traders and researchers, with real ownership and visible impact on the business.<\/p>\n

The role<\/p>\n

You’ll design, build and optimise the ultra-low-latency systems behind the firm’s automated trading strategies. That includes market data feed handlers, order gateways, trading engines and risk systems, where every microsecond, and often every nanosecond, matters.<\/p>\n

What you’ll do<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Design and build high-performance, low-latency trading infrastructure in modern C++ (17\/20\/23).<\/li>\n
  • Develop exchange connectivity: market data feed handlers and order entry gateways across global venues.<\/li>\n
  • Profile and optimise performance at the system level, covering CPU caches, memory layout, lock-free data structures, kernel bypass and networking.<\/li>\n
  • Work closely with quant researchers and traders to turn strategies into robust production code.<\/li>\n
  • Build tools for simulation, backtesting, monitoring and real-time risk.<\/li>\n
  • Own the reliability, testing and deployment of critical production systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What we’re looking for<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 3+ years of professional C++ development, ideally in HFT, market making or another latency-sensitive field.<\/li>\n
    • Expert knowledge of modern C++: templates, move semantics, the memory model and performance-oriented design.<\/li>\n
    • Strong understanding of computer architecture, operating systems (Linux), multithreading and concurrency.<\/li>\n
    • Experience with low-latency networking: TCP\/UDP, multicast, kernel bypass (Solarflare\/OpenOnload, DPDK).<\/li>\n
    • A degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics or a related field from a top university.<\/li>\n
    • A data-driven approach to performance: you measure, profile and benchmark rather than guess.<\/li>\n
    • Strong ownership, pragmatism and the ability to work in a fast-paced trading environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Nice to have<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Exchange protocols and market data formats (FIX, ITCH\/OUCH, SBE, CME MDP3).<\/li>\n
      • FPGA or hardware-acceleration experience, or working closely with hardware engineers.<\/li>\n
      • Python for tooling and analysis.<\/li>\n
      • Knowledge of market microstructure and electronic trading.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        What’s on offer<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Highly competitive compensation: market-leading base plus a significant discretionary bonus.<\/li>\n
        • Direct impact on trading performance, with clear visibility of your contribution.<\/li>\n
        • Cutting-edge technology, including co-located infrastructure and the latest hardware.<\/li>\n
        • A collaborative, non-hierarchical culture alongside world-class engineers, traders and researchers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
