Description

🚀 I’m working with a leading trading firm hiring a Quant Developer (C++ | Low Latency)

No fluff, this is a proper engine-room role where your code hits live markets and directly impacts P&L.

đź’¸ Visa + relocation fully covered OR Remote

🏢 The client (quick breakdown)

  • Systematic/high-frequency trading environment
  • Heavy focus on performance engineering + low latency
  • Tight collaboration between traders, quants, and engineers
  • Lean, high-calibre teams — no passengers
  • Strong engineering culture (think clean code, profiling, optimisation obsession)

🔥 What you’ll be doing

  • Turn quant research into production-grade C++ (C++17+)
  • Optimise tick-to-trade paths down to the wire
  • Build + refine latency-critical trading strategies
  • Profile + squeeze performance across core systems
  • Work directly with traders + researchers (no middle layers)
  • Monitor live systems (Grafana / Prometheus)
  • Drive engineering improvements that actually move the needle

⚙️ What they’re looking for

  • 4–6 years C++ in performance-critical environments
  • Strong multithreading / concurrency / lock-free knowledge
  • Solid fundamentals (algos, data structures, systems)
  • Experience in low-latency or real-time systems
  • Comfortable profiling + debugging live production systems

⚡ Nice to have

  • Network programming (TCP/UDP, Multicast, FIX)
  • Trading / market exposure
  • AWS (backtesting / research infra)
  • Python / Bash

💥 Why it’s worth your time

  • Your code runs live in production markets
  • Direct impact on performance + P&L
  • Work with seriously sharp quants + traders
  • High ownership, zero bureaucracy

If you’re a C++ performance purist who gets a kick out of shaving microseconds…
