Job Description:

Design, develop, and maintain high-performance trading systems using C++, Rust, and/or Golang.

Optimize code for ultra-low latency and high throughput to meet the demands of HFT environments.

Implement and enhance trading algorithms, order execution systems, and market data processing pipelines.

Collaborate with quantitative researchers, traders, and infrastructure teams to integrate new features and improve system performance.

Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code adhering to best practices.

3+ years of professional experience in software development, with a focus on C++.

Strong understanding of low-latency programming, multithreading, and concurrency.

Experience with network programming (e.g., TCP/IP, UDP) and socket-level optimizations.

Familiarity with Linux/Unix environments and performance profiling tools.

Knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and system design for high-performance applications.

Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Nice to have:

Experience in high-frequency trading or financial systems development.

Knowledge of market data protocols (e.g., FIX, ITCH, OUCH) and exchange connectivity.

Familiarity with Rust’s memory safety features or Golang’s concurrency model (goroutines, channels).
