  • Improve existing systems for performance, reliability, maintainability, and efficiency.
  • Contribute to components involving real-time data processing, networking, messaging, and I/O.
  • Investigate and troubleshoot issues across application, system, and occasionally network layers.
  • Collaborate with engineering, infrastructure, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into practical technical solutions.
  • Write clean, well-tested, production-quality code and documentation.
  • Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and ongoing improvements to engineering practices.
  • Support delivery and operation of systems in production environments as needed.
Required Qualifications
  • Strong proficiency in modern C++.
  • Professional experience building production software in C++ environments.
  • Experience working on performance-sensitive, distributed, or real-time systems is strongly preferred.
  • Solid computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, memory management, and concurrency.
  • Experience with debugging, profiling, and performance analysis tools.
  • Familiarity with Git and standard build tooling such as CMake or similar.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment.
  • Good communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams.
Nice to Have
  • Experience in low-latency or high-throughput systems.
  • Exposure to Linux systems, networking, or systems-level performance tuning.
  • Familiarity with Python, Bash, or similar scripting languages for tooling and automation.
  • Experience in financial services, market data, trading systems, or other data-intensive domains.
  • Exposure to cloud platforms, HPC/research environments, or large-scale data platforms.
  • Familiarity with modern developer productivity tools, including AI-assisted coding tools.
  • For Analytics-Oriented Roles, some assignments may benefit from experience with:
    • KDB+/q or large-scale time-series / market data environments
    • Data analysis tooling such as pandas, PyTorch, or Apache Arrow
    • Basic statistics or analytical workflows
Personal Attributes
  • Practical, hands-on engineer with strong ownership mindset
  • Comfortable working across the software lifecycle, from development through production support
  • Collaborative and adaptable, with a focus on delivering value
  • Interested in building reliable, efficient systems and continuously improving them
  • High accountability and ownership; able to self-manage time, set priorities, and meet deadlines.
