Description

C++ Engineer - Low Latency Market Data (Greenfield Team)

We're partnering with a top‑tier quantitative trading firm operating market‑making strategies across global electronic venues. The team is building a greenfield tick‑data and market‑data platform optimised for deterministic latency and extreme throughput.

Role

• Design and implement ultra‑low‑latency market‑data pipelines from exchange feed‑handler to downstream consumers
• Hands‑on development in modern C++23 on performance‑critical hot paths
• Exchange connectivity, feed normalisation, sequencing, and recovery logic
• Deep involvement in latency profiling, optimisation, and systems architecture
• Close work with low‑latency engineers and quantitative teams

Requirements

• Professional experience writing C++23 in production trading systems
• Kernel‑bypass networking (e.g. DPDK, Solarflare/Onload, RDMA)
• Strong background in low‑latency / high‑performance systems
• Solid understanding of Linux internals, CPU architecture, cache behaviour, memory layout, and profiling tools

Nice to have

• Direct exposure to market data or HFT environments
