Senior Software Engineer, C++ (Market Data)
You will lead the next-generation architecture of the market data and execution platforms that power fully systematic trading. As a senior individual contributor, you will help set the technical direction for the Core Platform that underpins quantitative research, pricing, strategy development, and execution across hundreds of venues, and drive its global rollout. You will work in a tight, iterative loop with quants and technical traders, applying deep expertise in modern C++, OS internals, CPU and memory architecture, lock-free concurrency, and low-latency networking to push systems toward state-of-the-art performance, robustness, and observability.
Responsibilities
- Lead the development and global rollout of the Core market data platform used across multiple focus areas (Market data, Research engineering, Pricing, Strategies)
- Design and implement high-performance components for market data ingestion, normalization, and distribution, as well as its usage for order execution and strategy infrastructure
- Develop tools and frameworks that enable quants and technical traders to build, tune, and deploy data-driven systematic pricing and trading strategies
- Own the full lifecycle of components in a fast-paced, iterative environment: deploy, monitor, profile, and optimize code in production
- Work closely with focus group engineers, quants, and technical traders to refine requirements, collect feedback, and iterate on the platform's design and implementation
Requirements
- BSc, MSc, or PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field
- 7+ years of post-graduation professional C++ software development experience
- Experience building low-latency market data ingestion, order execution, and algorithmic trading systems (proprietary trading industry preferred)
- Strong knowledge of algorithms and data structures
- Experience in parallel, asynchronous, and multithreaded programming
- Demonstrated ability to write clean, reliable, and highly scalable C++ code
- Interest in extracting maximum performance from available hardware and software (CPU caches, memory layout, networking, etc.)
- Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical colleagues
