## Description

Leading global HFT firm is looking for a pragmatic C/C++ Engineer to join the Core Development team. Despite serving as the hub for managing the substantial operations across the UK, Europe and the Middle East, the London office retains a lively, positive environment of a start-up with the stability of a longer-established player.

Core Dev is a global group of technologists who architect, build and maintain the algorithmic trading platform. This is a fast-paced area, where taking ideas through to deployment must be fast and accurate. As a high performance software engineer, you'll work with technologists & traders to build the next generation of software solutions in areas such as fast networking, high performance computing, and real-time acceleration.

Technology is prized by the traders as crucial to their continued success. This role would suit someone who has a combination of low-level software engineer skills paired with computer architecture understanding, and exposure to low-level network architecture. This will enable you to fully contribute to co-designing hybrid hardware/software applications.
