C++ Software Engineer - High Frequency Trading

This is an exceptional chance to become part of a quantitative and systematic hedge fund management firm where innovative technology is fundamental to its trading strategies. As part of a team focused on global connectivity, you will be creating next-generation software solutions, proprietary trading strategies, and algorithms to support thousands of trades every second. You'll work closely with business leaders to develop and implement tailored software solutions that enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of execution systems.

Additionally, you will be an essential member of the engineering team, playing a significant role in building and refining critical performance elements. This role could influence various aspects of electronic and algorithmic trading, including exchange price feeds, core trading systems, back-testing engines, management of tick data, and exchange simulators. You will work with quantitative research to design and construct advanced systems that keep the business at the leading edge of the industry.

The firm is looking to make several important hires, from junior to senior individual contributors, as well as hands-on team leaders.

Ideally, you should have experience in the following areas:

- Strong knowledge of object-oriented programming, particularly C++ (14/17).

- Familiarity with common algorithms, data structures, their performance, and the capability to independently design complex systems is essential.

- Experience in another buy-side firm or a role aligned with a front office trading desk.

- Understanding of market data feed handlers and execution gateways is a plus.

- Experience with Python, C#, and modern web frameworks is useful but not required.

Candidates with lengthy non-competes are also encouraged to apply.
