This is a high-impact position that offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology and directly influence the firm's trading performance.

You will collaborate closely with a talented team of engineers and work across the entire tech stack – from execution systems and research infrastructure to real-time market data processing and simulation. This role provides an exciting chance to build high-performance systems that drive one of the most innovative and influential quantitative platforms in the industry.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Take ownership of critical areas of the platform, helping to drive improvements in performance, scalability, and overall system efficiency.
  • Optimize systems for minimal latency and maximum throughput, ensuring our systems operate with precision in real-time market environments.
  • Develop across multiple layers of the stack, from data feeds and order routing to execution and system monitoring.
  • Continuously enhance the platform by integrating the latest advances in trading algorithms, machine learning, and high-performance computing.

Requirements:

  • Strong experience in C++, with expertise in developing low-latency, high-performance systems.
  • Deep understanding of algorithms and data structures, particularly in the context of real-time processing and latency-sensitive systems.
  • Market systems experience: Experience with financial systems such as execution platforms, order routing, or market data processing is beneficial but not required.
  • Real-time systems: Proven experience building systems that require real-time, low-latency data processing, ideally in high-frequency trading or similar environments.
  • Able to work effectively with cross-functional teams, including quantitative researchers, traders, and engineers, in a highly collaborative environment.
  • Experience: 3+ years of relevant experience, ideally in trading, finance, or other performance-critical computing environments.

  • Access to cutting-edge technology and the opportunity to innovate within a world-class trading platform.
  • Collaborate with a high-caliber team of engineers, traders, and quantitative researchers who are leaders in their fields.
  • Competitive compensation package, including base salary and performance-based bonuses. Total compensation can range from $600,000 to $1.5M based on experience and performance.
