Operating at the high-stakes intersection of institutional finance and cutting‑edge tech, our client delivers institutional‑grade products across trading, asset management, and high‑performance computing.
The Role This high‑impact role sits at the critical intersection of software engineering and low‑latency infrastructure.
Your primary objective will be minimizing latency, maximizing throughput, and ensuring completely deterministic performance across critical trading workflows.

Optimize multiple layers of the technology stack, moving fluidly from the application layer down through the OS, network layers, and supporting hardware.
Work independently, solving highly analytical problems with a strong drive to own issues through to resolution.
Embrace and champion the thoughtful adoption of AI tools (generative AI, automation, data copilots) to maximize team productivity and output quality.
