Job Description

My client is a boutique hedge fund where elite engineers work on some of the world’s most sophisticated trading strategies.

Function:

• Building one of the fastest market-data platform in the finance industry.
• The trading engines get through billions of ticks per day; your code will decide whether trades land in microseconds or miss the window.

Why This Team?

• £20 billion AUM, cutting-edge hardware, a blank cheque for code that reduces latency.
• Your commits light up 20+ global desks within minutes, with no middle layers or bureaucracy.
• Elite colleagues, generally ex-Big Tech, large funds, Olympiad medalists.
• Outstanding compensation.

What You’ll Tackle:

• Build ultra-low-latency distributed code in modern C++ (20/23), leveraging lock-free designs.
• Engineer multi-asset feed handlers (NYSE, NASDAQ, B-Pipe, etc.) that stay green.
• Own the full lifecycle: design to benchmarking to deployment at microsecond granularity.
• Collaborate with infra to squeeze every last clock cycle from bespoke kernels, FPGA NICs, and bleeding-edge CPUs.

We Should Speak If You Have:

• Experience writing performance-critical C++ that moves real money (HFT, finance or gaming).
• Mastery of concurrency, memory models, cache hierarchies, and SIMD.
• A talent for turning packet captures into elegant, deterministic algorithms.
• Good educational background.

If your profile is a good fit, I will reach out to you within 12 hours from application.
