Job Description & How to Apply Below

We’re a fast-growing trading firm built by people who care deeply about performance, clean systems, and real-world impact. Our software doesn’t sit on a shelf, it trades live capital, shapes market decisions, and is evolving into commercial products used beyond our own desks.

We’re looking for a C++ Software Developer who wants to work close to the action: building automated trading systems, refining low-latency infrastructure, and helping transform internal tools into polished, market-ready platforms.

What You Will Be Doing
  • Design and implement strategies focused on equity options and equities, with futures coming next.
  • Help shape our existing platforms into commercial‑grade software—stable, scalable, and user‑ready.
  • 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.
Core Requirements
  • 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
Nice-to-Have (but not required)
  • 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
  • Background in high-performance or systems‑level programming
