We're working with a global financial brokerage building mission-critical trading and analytics platforms used across international financial markets.

What you'll be doing:

  • Designing and building low-latency C++ applications

  • Investigating and resolving production crashes

  • Performing deep debugging (call stacks, memory issues, threading)

  • Optimising multi-threaded, Real Time systems

  • Collaborating with engineers, QA, DevOps, and business users

  • Mentoring junior developers and raising engineering standards


What we're looking for:

  • Strong commercial experience in modern C++ (11/14/17)

  • Background in performance-critical systems

  • Hands-on experience with debugging and crash analysis

  • Solid understanding of concurrency, memory management, and optimisation

  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, production-focused environments

Hybrid working, long-term platform ownership, and genuinely complex engineering challenges.
