The tech stack is modern, the problems are genuinely interesting, and the team around you cares about doing things the right way.

This is a collaborative, engineering-first environment where technical decisions are taken seriously and good ideas get heard regardless of their source. The structure is flat, and your work has visibility from day one.

While you are in the trading space, it does not feel like a traditional hedge fund. The pressure typically associated with that territory is absent here. People work hard because they enjoy what they are doing and the autonomy they are given.

You will be working in a hybrid model, allowing for collaboration in the office and focused work at home.

You should come from a similar front-office trading environment and be well-versed in modern C++, working in a Linux environment. Experience with performance-sensitive systems is essential.
