Senior C++ developer

We are a team of highly motivated and skilled engineers, architects and mathematicians that successfully works on international electronic markets for more than 10 years. We have offices in Italy and Russia and constantly need the most advanced technology, trading software, and better connections to the market. So, we are looking for talented and experienced software engineers to develop, optimize, and support our systems and tools. We have a large variety of roles for C++ developers. Some of them are:

• Optimizing our unique trading framework. Can you squeeze a 10-microsecond task into 1 microsecond? Perfect, we need you.
• Developing and optimizing connectors to new or existing electronic markets. FIX, FAST, ITCH, SBE, etc. are low latency trading protocols that we use. Slower HTTP REST and WebSocket connectors are also present.
• Optimizing backtest infrastructure. Developing new trading algorithms requires a lot of testing. It is always good if test runs faster.
• Time series database evolution. We have implemented our own database that is used to store market history. Backtest performance highly depends on it.

Your particular responsibilities will depend on your experience and personal preferences.

We are looking for you if you are:

• Fluent in C++ (we use C++17) and algorithms
• Self-motivated, smart and creative, prefer to be on the cutting edge of technology
• Able to write code that works 24/7

Even better if you:

• have working experience with multithreading/concurrency/lock-free
• have contributed a lot to open source
• wrote ultra-low latency applications in the past
• love Linux as much as we do
• used vector instructions for performance
• have solid experience with networks

We offer:

• wide range of highly challenging C++ development tasks
• cutting edge hardware and software in production (fast CPUs and network cards, fresh Linux and GCC, Conan for package management, latest Boost)
• team of brilliant and talented people
• relocation support
• paid business trips to Italy a few times a year
• no tight deadlines, no over management, family-friendly work hours
• a lot of space for your ideas

For the acquaintance with job assignments and experience sharing we send new employees to Savona (Italy) for one month + we pay travel expenses.
