- HFT experience- US/ Crypto Markets
- Attractive package with well career development
We are a fast-growing quantitative trading firm specialising in mid- to high-frequency strategies across US equities and cryptocurrency markets. We are looking for a talented Low Latency Quant Systems Developer to design, build, and optimise ultra-high performance trading platforms that operate at microsecond-level latency.
Role Overview
This is a hands-on technical role where you will work closely with quant researchers, traders, and infrastructure engineers to deliver production-grade, real-time trading systems. You will focus on creating low-latency architectures for market data handling, order execution, and risk management at scale.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop high-performance trading systems using modern C++ (C++17/20) for equities and crypto venues.
- Build efficient market data processors, order execution gateways, and real-time risk control modules.
- Create and enhance backtesting and simulation frameworks to support quantitative strategy research and development.
- Continuously profile, optimise, and tune code for sub-millisecond performance, minimising network, kernel, and serialization overheads.
- Implement advanced low-latency techniques (NUMA awareness, kernel bypass, RDMA, DPDK, TCP/UDP tuning) across critical execution paths.
- Collaborate with quant teams to integrate new trading strategies into live production environments.
- Partner with infrastructure specialists on bare-metal deployments, low-latency networking, and precision time synchronisation.
- Ensure system reliability through robust monitoring, logging, alerting, fault-tolerance, and disaster recovery mechanisms.
What We’re Looking For
- Expert-level proficiency in modern C++ including multi-threading, lock-free data structures, and template metaprogramming.
- Strong hands-on experience with low-latency optimisations and high-performance computing environments.
- Deep understanding of US equity and crypto market microstructure, order types, and execution algorithms.
- Practical knowledge of major market data and execution protocols (ITCH, OUCH, FIX, WebSocket, native exchange APIs).
- Solid experience in Linux systems programming and network programming.
- 3–7 years of relevant experience building low-latency trading systems or in HPC environments.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
- Strong problem-solving, debugging skills, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, iterative environment.
Nice-to-Have (Bonus Points)
- Experience with GPU acceleration (CUDA) or FPGA programming.
- Knowledge of blockchain protocols and cryptography for crypto execution systems.
- Python scripting for data analysis or integration tools.
What We Offer
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge, high-impact trading infrastructure in global markets.
- Competitive compensation package with performance-based bonuses.
- Collaborative environment with top quants, researchers, and engineers.
- High-ownership role in a rapidly expanding quantitative trading firm.
