- Improve system design for performance, reliability, and future expansion into new asset classes.
- Translate trading ideas and market intuition into robust, efficient technical solutions.
- Work with large datasets to test, refine, and improve strategy performance.
- Optimize systems for low latency and high throughput in time‑sensitive trading environments.
- Develop systems that monitor risk, enforce constraints, and support regulatory requirements.
- Produce clear documentation and reporting that supports both internal development and external users.
- Experience building or maintaining real‑time, multithreaded systems
- Solid grasp of data structures, thread safety, and modern C++ practices
- Comfort working with networked and distributed systems
- Ability to learn new tools and concepts quickly
- Experience optimizing for high performance and low latency
- Exposure to financial markets or trading systems
- Familiarity with SQL and/or No
SQL databases - Knowledge of other programming languages or frameworks
