My client is a tech-focused market-maker with groundbreaking success in the high frequency trading space, looking to hire Software Engineers for their HFT team focused on designing, improving and executing fully automated trading strategies using machine learning.
In this role, you'll own complex technical projects and help shape the direction of the trading infrastructure. As a software engineer at this firm, you'll work on some of the most challenging algorithmic problems in the world. The team owns the problem end to end - from data to simulation to the execution of orders in production - and the system is built to be robust, enabling research at scale while running complex ML models with low latency across thousands of financial instruments.
If you relish the challenges of an extremely fast-paced environment where your work will make a tangible impact from day one, this is the role for you!
Skills and Experience Required
  • 2+ years preferred of C++ experience in low-latency systems, such as market data ingestion, order routing, execution performance, or simulation frameworks
  • Strong engineering instincts plus a deep understanding of computer science fundamentals
  • Expertise in C++ is strongly preferred; experience with C, Python or Linux is a plus
  • Innovative, out-of-the-box thinking grounded in real-world pragmatism
  • Readiness to set technical direction, promote engineering principles, and do the right thing
  • Candidates must have US citizenship/Greencard or a valid H1B/TN Visa

NB: please do not apply if you're a fresh graduate.
Benefits
  • Incredible salary + profit-sharing structure
  • Truly flat structure and highly collaborative culture, within a fun, stimulating office environment
  • Direct business impact with short feedback loop
  • Outstanding benefits package

Whilst we carefully review all applications, to all jobs, due to the high volume of applications we receive it is not possible to respond to those who have not been successful.
