Day-to-Day Responsibilities

\n

\n
• Partner directly with quantitative researchers to design, back-test, and deployment of high-frequency futures strategies.
\n
• You will investigate market microstructure at the finest level of granularity - how orders arrive, queue, and move prices - and translate that understanding into optimized, production-grade C++.
\n
• You will build and maintain the simulation, data pipeline, and research infrastructure that lets ideas get tested and iterated at speed.
\n
• The team is small, the ownership is real, and your work is visible to the top of the engineering organization.

Your Profile

\n

\n
• You have expert-level C++ and a proven track record building high-performance software, with deep understanding of memory, caches, concurrency, and profiling. Professional grade C++ is mandatory.
\n
• You are equally comfortable reasoning about a statistical model and reading a flame graph.
\n
• You have worked at a trading firm, exchange, or similarly latency-obsessed environment - or you are an exceptional systems engineer with a demonstrated and genuine interest in markets.
\n
• Curiosity about how markets work is non-negotiable. The interview tests for it early.
