Low Latency C++ Engineer – Market Data Systems
I am hiring for a team building the fastest market data platform on the planet.
They operate at the bleeding edge of C++ engineering, systems architecture, and real-time financial data. Their software ingests, decodes, and distributes live market data from global exchanges, with latencies measured in single-digit microseconds.
Engineers in this team work in an environment where:
- C++ is pushed to its absolute limits – with attention to every CPU cycle and cache line.
- Latency is key; performance is benchmarked and obsessively tuned.
- Code goes live in globally distributed systems supporting elite quantitative strategies.
- Engineers drive technical direction: from architecture to tooling to micro-optimisations.
Technologies in use include:
- Modern C++ on bare-metal Linux.
- Userspace networking, NUMA-aware memory design, lock-free data structures.
- Custom profiling and telemetry tools.
- Aeron, Kubernetes, and whatever else delivers speed and stability.
Ideal candidates will bring :
- A proven track record building ultra-low latency systems – in finance, gaming, telecoms, or similarly demanding domains.
- Deep systems-level knowledge, including performance tuning, concurrency, and CPU/memory architecture.
- An good eye for elegant, high-performance design.
- The ability to take ownership, work independently, and deliver high-grade and production-ready code.
I want to speak to engineers who build systems that move faster than thought.
