Job description

Now looking to expand the HFT team with an experienced C++ engineer to be responsible for the latency-critical stack: from kernel-level tuning & network optimisation to highly efficient C++ components. In this role, you will design end-to-end architectures where every single nanosecond counts in close collaboration with colleagues from FPGA, hardware and infrastructure engineering.

Requirements

  • 5+ years’ engineering experience in performance-critical C++ (C++17 or newer)
  • Strong grasp of systems programming, low-level understanding including memory management and architecture of CPUs
  • Solid proficiency with Linux internals, kernel parameters, and low-level profiling

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.
