Start Date - ASAP

Salary - Top End

TCG have partnered with a high-growth trading technology business building ultra-low latency infrastructure, now looking to scale their C++ engineering team.

This is a strong opportunity for engineers who care about performance, efficiency, and working on systems where latency genuinely matters.

The role

You'll be focused on building and optimising core trading infrastructure, with a direct impact on system performance and execution speed.

Key responsibilities:

• Build new market connectivity and trading infrastructure
• Optimise high-load, low-latency C++ systems
• Continuously reduce latency across critical components
• Maintain and improve core platform performance and reliability
• Work closely with engineering, trading, and data teams

What they're looking for

• 3–5+ years experience in modern C++
• Background in low-latency / high-performance systems
• Strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, and system design
• Solid understanding of networking (REST, WebSockets, etc.)

Nice to have:

• Experience in trading, HFT, or financial systems
• FIX protocol exposure
• Experience with AWS, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana
• Python or Kafka exposure

Environment

You'll be working closely with both the Python team and trading operations in a highly collaborative setup.

They're looking for someone who is proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment.

Why this role stands out

• Direct exposure to real trading systems
• Work on genuinely latency-sensitive infrastructure
• Strong engineering culture, flat structure
• Clear opportunity to grow within a high-performing team

If you're currently working on low-latency systems and want to push further into trading infrastructure, this is a strong move.
