About the role
Build and maintain high-performance distributed systems for real-time and historical market data, and develop low-latency C++ components for trading infrastructure, execution, and order handling. Collaborate with traders and engineers to implement strategy and modeling requirements, and use concurrency techniques and profiling tools to improve system throughput and latency. Requires at least four years of professional C++ experience in a high-performance, real-time trading environment, ideally at a proprietary trading firm, market maker, or similar electronic trading organization. Candidates should have strong foundations in algorithms, concurrency, and memory management; Linux system programming and networking experience; and hands-on debugging and profiling skills.
