Job Description:

C/C++ Software Engineer - Core Dev

Summary

Leading global HFT firm is looking for a pragmatic C/C++ Engineer to join the Core Development team. Despite serving as the hub for managing the substantial operations across the UK, Europe and the Middle East, the London office retains a lively, positive environment of a start-up with the stability of a longer-established player.

Core Dev is a global group of technologists who architect, build, and maintain the algorithmic trading platform. This is a fast-paced area, where taking ideas through to deployment must be fast and accurate. As a high-performance software engineer, you'll work with technologists & traders to build the next generation of software solutions in areas such as fast networking, high-performance computing, and real-time acceleration.

Technology is prized by the traders as crucial to their continued success. This role would suit someone who has a combination of low-level software engineering skills paired with computer architecture understanding, and exposure to low-level network architecture. This will enable you to fully contribute to co-designing hybrid hardware/software applications.

• Strong C/C++ design and programming skills with good API design
• Broad knowledge of algorithms and basic understanding of statistics and algebra
• Experience with Python, Matlab, or R for data analytics; Matplotlib, numpy are also preferred
• Experience developing low-level and/or embedded software applications
• Proven individual contributor in a dynamic environment
• Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, Computer Science (or related)

Benefits:

• Enormous opportunity to grow, learn and have a significant business impact
• Contributions are rewarded; career progression supported
• Substantial benefits package, including private medical, paid parental leave, group life assurance & parking/cycle schemes

Whilst we carefully review all applications, due to the high volume of applications we receive, it is not possible to respond to those who have not been successful.
