Job summary

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Ultra-Low Latency (ULL) Market Making team. This is a hands-on engineering role at the frontier of high-performance trading systems, where nanoseconds matter and innovation drives competitive advantage.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement modern C++ (C++20/23) applications for ultra-low latency trading.
  • Optimize performance at the CPU, kernel, and network stack level to minimize latency and maximize throughput.
  • Engineer and maintain Linux-based systems tuned for high-frequency trading workloads.
  • Develop and refine TCP/IP networking solutions for market connectivity.
  • Collaborate with traders, researchers, and engineers to deliver robust, production-ready systems.
  • Explore opportunities to integrate AI/ML techniques into trading workflows, from signal generation to system optimization.

Qualifications

  • Proficiency in modern C with a focus on performance-critical applications.
  • Deep understanding of CPU architecture, cache optimization, memory management, and instruction pipelines.
  • Exposure to Linux kernel-level programming and tuning.
  • Solid knowledge of TCP/IP networking and experience building high-throughput, low-latency network applications.
  • Proven track record of developing real-time, high-performance systems (finance, gaming, or similar).
  • Beneficial: Experience with FPGA/ASIC development for hardware acceleration.
  • Beneficial: Exposure to AI/ML integration in performance-sensitive environments.
  • Bonus: Familiarity with kernel bypass technologies (DPDK, RDMA, Solarflare, etc.).

Benefits

  • Work on mission-critical trading infrastructure where your engineering directly impacts performance and profitability.
  • Collaborate with a world-class team of engineers, traders, and researchers.
  • Push the boundaries of system-level optimization, hardware acceleration, and AI integration.
  • Market leading compensation, benefits, and a culture that rewards innovation and technical mastery.
