Client: Top-tier quantitative trading firm
Compensation: Competitive (Not Specified)
Location: NYC (Hybrid)

Overview
We’re working with a top-tier quantitative trading firm to hire a C++ engineer who wants to work close to the metal on systems that directly power live trading and research. This role is about owning and evolving a high-performance C++ platform used by elite researchers and trading teams. Think low-latency, careful memory management, and design decisions where performance actually matters — not abstract benchmarks.

The Role
This is core platform C++, not application-level glue code. Your work underpins research and production trading systems, and you’ll be optimising real workloads used by multiple teams globally. No finance knowledge required — strong engineering thinking wins here.

Key responsibilities include:

• Design and maintain a high-performance C++ computational platform

• Push performance boundaries: latency, throughput, memory efficiency

• Build scalable, reusable components that multiple teams rely on

• Work closely with researchers to turn ideas into production-grade systems

• Keep performance guarantees intact as the platform grows

Requirements

• Strong C++ experience with a focus on performance-critical systems

• Background in computer science (MSc / PhD or equivalent depth)

• Experience outside academia solving real production problems

• Low-level optimisation and profiling

• Compiler concepts, type systems, or language tooling

• Writing code that other engineers depend on

• Experience with DSLs, compilers, or runtime systems

• Rust or Python alongside C++

What’s on Offer

• Engineers surrounded by other exceptionally strong engineers

• Minimal bureaucracy, no ego-driven hierarchy

• Hybrid working, standout NYC office, excellent benefits

• Long-term investment in both people and technology

If you’re a C++ engineer who cares about correctness, performance, and clean abstractions, and you want your work to sit at the heart of a world-class trading platform — this is one to explore.
