What you will do:
- Develop and maintain high-frequency trading systems and core trading modules in C++
- Build and optimise low-latency market data, order management, trade execution, risk, and position management systems
- Optimise critical trading paths, including order placement, cancellation, execution reports, market data processing, and exception recovery
- Improve system performance across latency, throughput, CPU usage, memory usage, lock contention, network I/O, and concurrency
- Analyse system bottlenecks using profiling, benchmarking, logs, monitoring, and production metrics
- Optimise multithreading, async I/O, memory allocation, data structures, messaging queues, and event-driven architectures
- Process real-time market data, order book data, trade data, and exchange execution reports
- Build and maintain monitoring tools for latency, throughput, exchange connectivity, order status, PnL, positions, and risk
- Maintain exchange API connectivity and ensure stable market data, order routing, and execution workflows
- Troubleshoot trading issues, system issues, network issues, data anomalies, latency spikes, and risk control problems
- Continuously improve system architecture, code quality, observability, stability, and operational efficiency
What we are looking for:
- Strong hands-on C++ development experience with solid systems programming skills
- Strong understanding of Linux development, operating systems, networking, concurrency, and memory management
- Experience with multithreading, lock optimisation, async I/O, network programming, and performance tuning
- Experience building low-latency systems, high-concurrency systems, real-time systems, trading systems, or distributed systems
- Practical experience using profiling, benchmarking, monitoring, and logs to identify and resolve system bottlenecks
- Good understanding of how CPU, memory, network I/O, serialisation, queues, cache, and context switching impact system performance
- Familiarity with WebSocket / REST APIs, TCP/IP, logging, monitoring, exception handling, and failure recovery
