Job description

Now looking for a Quant Developer to join the HFT team in London, responsible for designing and operating ultra-low-latency systems that run at global scale. This role offers the opportunity to work across the latency-critical stack; from kernel-level tuning and network optimization to highly efficient C++ components.

Working alongside talented engineers in FPGA, hardware and infrastructure, you’ll design end-to-end architectures where every nanosecond counts.

The successful Quant Developer will be a C++ engineer who cares deeply about performance, efficiency and elegant, ultra-optimized systems.

Requirements

  • 5+ years’ development experience in performance-critical C++ (C++17 or above)
  • Solid understanding of systems programming, low-level understanding including memory management and CPU’s architectures
  • Deep familiarity with Linux internals, kernel parameters, and low-level profiling
  • Experience working at a hedge fund or trading firm is highly advantageous

Benefits & conditions

  • Great opportunity to be part of a collaborative, creative environment where you can feel valued for your input
  • Competitive salary + generous benefits
  • Professional and personal development
  • Relaxed, casual culture, with a healthy work-life balance

Whilst we carefully review all applications, to all jobs, due to the high volume of applications we receive it is not possible to respond to those who have not been successful.
