- Build market data ingestion, exchange connectivity, order execution, and trading infrastructure.
- Optimise systems for latency, throughput, reliability, and scalability.
- Work closely with quantitative researchers and traders to translate strategies into production systems.
- Profile and optimise critical code paths, including memory allocation, concurrency, networking, and CPU utilisation.
- Develop tools and frameworks for simulation, backtesting, monitoring, and performance analysis.
- Contribute to system architecture and technical decisions across the trading stack.
Requirements
- Strong professional experience with C++/ Rust.
- Candidates must come from a traditional HFT / electronic trading firm
- Strong understanding of systems programming, concurrency, networking, and performance optimisation.
- Experience building low-latency or high-throughput systems.
- Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, memory management, and computer architecture.
