🧠 C++ Developer – Low-Latency Systems
📍 London (Hybrid)
💷 Up to £190,000 + Bonus + Full Benefits
💻 1+ Years’ Experience
🚀 The Opportunity
Passionate about performance at the microsecond level?
Join a leading buy-side firm as a C++ Engineer, building ultra-low-latency trading systems where every nanosecond counts. You’ll operate at the cutting edge of high-performance engineering, solving complex problems across systems that demand absolute precision, speed, and reliability.
This is a hands-on role with direct impact on live trading, working alongside elite engineers to push hardware and software to their limits.
🔧 What You’ll Do
- Design and optimise ultra-low-latency trading infrastructure
- Fine-tune performance across CPU, cache, and memory layers
- Build high-performance data structures and latency-critical algorithms
- Identify and eliminate bottlenecks across the full technology stack
- Contribute to advanced systems design and hardware-level optimisation
🌟 Why This Role Stands Out
🎯 Direct Trading Impact – Your code drives real-time global trading performance
🧪 Deep Technical Work – Work close to the hardware on cutting-edge optimisation
🤝 Elite Engineering Team – Collaborate with world-class low-latency specialists
📈 Fast Progression – Flat structure, high ownership, rapid growth
✅ What You Bring
💻 Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++11/14/17/20) with a performance-first mindset
🧠 Deep understanding of computer architecture, CPU internals, and memory hierarchy
🔄 Experience with multi-threading, concurrency, and scalable systems
- ⚙️ Background in low-latency, real-time, or trading systems is a strong plus
If you’re ready to push limits and engineer the future of ultra-low-latency trading systems, we’d love to hear from you.
