Job description

We are looking for a software engineer to join a lean and technical quantitative trading startup. You’ll be responsible for developing and maintaining scalable trading applications and infrastructure for many financial markets and assist with developing the full stack of infrastructure to support trading operations. The role is fast paced, with daily or even more frequent release cycles, and requires a good sense of prioritization between longer and shorter term needs.

Requirements

Within our systems, from hardware drivers to TCP/multicast handlers to Python interfaces, each layer requires custom optimization for latency, bandwidth, or both. An understanding of trade-offs in terms of clock cycles and CPU cache effects is a must. Multi-core/multi-threaded communications using lock-free algorithms will be employed to increase the theoretical computational limit per unit time; consequently, the candidate should have a good grasp of run-time behavior, serialization delays, and asymptotic behavior in this environment. Compensation consists of base salary, discretionary performance bonus, and possible participation in longer-term incentive schemes., * C++11 and higher experience

Excellent design and debugging skills
Experience developing for production critical systems
Excellent communication and prioritization skills, * C++20 codebase, Python layer on top
Technical expertise throughout (everyone programs)
Cloud-scalable research infrastructure

Desirable Skills

Experience with Python
