C++ Software Engineer/Developer : Elite Quant Trading Firm : £200-500k : Hybrid

Our client builds lightning-fast systems that move markets. They are a quantitative trading firm driven by data, algorithms, and raw performance, and their edge comes from code that outpaces the competition. We’re looking for a top end C++ Software Engineer to join them.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and optimize ultra-low-latency C++ systems for real-time trading
• Push hardware to its limits: zero-copy messaging, kernel bypass, lock-free programming
• Profile and fine-tune every nanosecond: L1 cache, branch prediction, CPU affinity, etc
• Collaborate directly with quant researchers and traders to bring strategies to production in microseconds

What You Bring:

• Expert-level C++ (C++17/20); deep understanding of memory models, multithreading, and performance tuning
• Experience with low-latency systems, high-frequency trading, or real-time embedded environments
• A hacker’s mindset: obsessed with speed, elegant in execution
• Bonus: Knowledge of networking (UDP, TCP, multicast), Linux kernel internals, FPGA integration, SIMD

Stack:

• Language: Modern C++ (no compromise on latency)
• OS: Bare-metal tuned Linux
• Networking: Solarflare, Exablaze, kernel bypass
• Monitoring: Nanosecond-level instrumentation
• Hardware: We co-design software and custom hardware to shave off every cycle

Why Join:

• No red tape. No legacy. Just performance
• Work with a team where engineers lead innovation
• Competitive comp that rewards measurable impact—plus research-aligned bonuses
• Global presence, startup energy, and scale that matters

Client welcomes applications from overseas, and can pay for visas/relocation to London.
