We’re partnering with a leading global hedge fund at the forefront of quantitative trading and systematic investment strategies. They’re looking to hire an exceptional C++ developer to join their Risk Technology team, working directly alongside quants, traders, and risk managers.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of high-impact projects in a fast-moving, low-latency environment — building the systems that monitor, simulate, and manage risk across billions in global trading positions.
The Role
- You’ll join a small, elite engineering team responsible for:
- Designing and implementing C++ libraries and services underpinning real-time risk and valuation systems.
- Optimising performance and scalability for large-scale data analytics.
- Collaborating closely with quant researchers and risk analysts to translate models into robust, production-grade systems.
- Contributing to architecture decisions that impact trading, portfolio management, and firm-wide exposure monitoring.
Ideal Background
- Expert-level C++ (modern C++17/20 preferred) with strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and concurrency.
- Experience in risk systems, pricing engines, or real-time analytics within a trading, hedge fund, or investment banking environment.
- Familiarity with Python, Linux, distributed systems, or numerical libraries is a plus.
- Strong communication and a collaborative mindset — comfortable working at the intersection of technology and finance.
Why Apply?
- Work in a technologist-led environment where engineering excellence is prized.
- Direct exposure to front-office stakeholders and the investment process.
- Competitive compensation with significant upside (base + performance bonus).
- Hybrid working and a culture that values intellectual curiosity, autonomy, and impact.
