C++ Trading Systems Engineer | Dubai (On-site)

High-performance trading. Greenfield. Low-latency.

We’re building a new trading platform from the ground up, fast, stable, and built to scale across traditional and digital markets.

It’s a team of engineers obsessed with latency, efficiency, and clean design: no legacy systems, no red tape, just absolute ownership and real impact.

The system connects directly to NSE, BSE, MCX, CME, Gift City, and leading crypto exchanges, blending low-latency infrastructure with modern architecture.

If you like working close to the metal, solving complex problems, and writing C++ that actually moves markets, this is the kind of work that stays with you.

What You’ll Build

• Core trading infrastructure in modern C++ (17/20)
• Event-driven systems processing high-throughput market data
• Exchange adapters across global and crypto venues
• Multithreaded, latency-sensitive components tuned for performance
• Full-stack performance profiling and optimisation

What You Bring

• 2–5 years of professional C++ (11 or later) experience
• Solid understanding of low-latency or real-time systems
• Deep comfort with multithreading, networking, and memory management
• Interest or experience in trading systems or exchange connectivity (FIX, CME, NSE, crypto APIs)
• Precision, persistence, and a taste for clean, efficient code

Nice to Have

• Hands-on with Linux, performance tools, and system-level tuning
• Understanding of market data, order types, and trading lifecycles

Why Join

• Build from zero, nothing inherited, everything matters
• Direct line to traders and quants, ideas move fast
• Tight team, zero politics
• Base: Mumbai or Dubai (relocation supported)
• Compensation: strong base, serious upside

If you want to work on systems that trade at scale in markets that never sleep, let’s talk.
