C++ Developer - Strategy Implementation Engineering

C++ Developer – Strategy Implementation & Alpha Signal Engineering

We are currently working with a leading global quant fund that\’s scaling its Strategy Implementation and Development Desk – a high-impact team operating at the intersection of quantitative research and real-time execution.

They are seeking high-performance C++ developers to work on signal implementation, execution algorithms, and real-time alpha-capturing models. This is a speed-critical environment where your code directly impacts trading outcomes.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement real-time trading strategies and execution algorithms in C++20, leveraging GCC 12.
• Collaborate closely with quantitative researchers to translate models into production-ready code.
• Optimise systems for ultra low latency, throughput, and determinism.
• Monitor and improve live trading performance, identifying bottlenecks and tuning systems.

Requirements:

• Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++17/20) with a deep understanding of performance optimisation.
• Experience with GCC 12 or similar toolchains that support C++20 features.
• Solid understanding of low-latency systems, multithreading, and memory management.
• Background in real-time systems, high-frequency trading, or performance-critical applications.
