 * Strong knowledge of STL, data structures, OOP, multithreading and concurrency
 * Experience with electronic trading, trading systems, HFT or other financial markets technology

 * Solid networking knowledge, including TCP/IP
 * Experience working with large and complex production codebases
 * Strong understanding of algorithms and computational complexity
 * Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field
 * Strong English communication skills

Particularly relevant experience

We'd especially like to hear from engineers who have worked with:

 * Electronic trading platforms
 * HFT systems
 * Market data
 * Exchange connectivity
 * Order management and execution systems
 * FIX or other trading protocols
 * RFQ / request-for-quote systems
 * Pricing or trading engines
 * Fixed Income or Derivatives
 * Low-latency financial infrastructure

Nice to have

 * SQL and relational databases
 * Experience with Fixed Income markets
 * Quantitative or pricing systems
 * Python
 * Experience using Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot or similar tools as part of an engineering workflow

This role may not be the best fit if your recent experience is primarily focused on

 * Game development
 * Embedded development
 * General enterprise backend without performance-sensitive systems
 * Frontend or application development
 * C++ development without exposure to financial/trading systems

Working hours

The engineering team works closely with colleagues in New York, so you should be comfortable with at least 4-5 hours of overlap with US Eastern Time. Longer overlap may be helpful during onboarding.

## Description

* Developing and enhancing core electronic trading systems in C++
 * Processing trading messages and transaction flows
 * Improving latency, throughput, and overall system performance
