Algorithmic Trading C++ (Programming Language) Linux Python (Programming Language) Low Latency

Job description

A technology-first algorithmic market maker operating at the cutting edge of digital asset liquidity, precision-driven, high-growth, and conviction-led on where financial markets are heading.

Flat, fast, and output-driven. Engineers own real problems from day one, work directly with leadership, and are judged entirely on what they deliver.

What you’ll do:

  • Own and build components within a high-throughput, globally distributed trading system
  • Develop real-time execution pipelines, exchange integrations, and market data infrastructure in C++ and Python on Linux
  • Learn from engineers and traders who built the system, with real autonomy and real accountability from the start

Requirements

Do you have experience in Python?, * Production-grade C++ with genuine low-level understanding, this will be tested

  • Strong analytical thinking across complex, high-stakes system behaviour
  • Solid grasp of network internals, CPU and memory architecture, assembly a bonus

Strong academic background and hunger to learn valued as much as experience. If you haven’t heard back within 3 days, your application was unfortunately unsuccessful.
