We're building a Real Time trade monitoring and market data system operating across a distributed Linux environment, where latency, determinism, and throughput are critical.
This is a hands-on C++ engineering role focused on building and optimising the low-level systems that move and process trading data in Real Time.
Key Skills- Strong modern C++ (11/14/17) in production systems
- Deep experience in low/ultra-low latency environments
- Strong Linux systems programming background
- Multithreading, concurrency, memory/performance optimisation
- Network-level understanding (TCP/IP, sockets, latency tuning)
- Market data/trading/exchange systems experience
- FIX protocol, matching engines, or trade messaging
- eBPF/Kernel tracing/performance tooling (bcc, bpftrace, kprobes)
- High-performance distributed systems (non-observability focused)
You will be working on systems that sit close to the data path, ensuring trade events can be captured, processed, and correlated in Real Time across distributed infrastructure. This is not a dashboard or platform observability role - it is systems-level engineering on live trading data flows.
