C++ Developer - Strategy Implementation Engineering

C++ Developer - Strategy Implementation & Alpha Signal Engineering

We are currently working with a leading global quant fund that's scaling its Strategy Implementation and Development Desk - a high-impact team operating at the intersection of quantitative research and real-time execution.

They are seeking high-performance C++ developers to work on signal implementation, execution algorithms, and real-time alpha-capturing models. This is a speed-critical environment where your code directly impacts trading outcomes.

Responsibilities:
  • Design and implement real-time trading strategies and execution algorithms in C++20, leveraging GCC 12.
  • Collaborate closely with quantitative researchers to translate models into production-ready code.
  • Optimise systems for ultra low latency, throughput, and determinism.
  • Monitor and improve live trading performance, identifying bottlenecks and tuning systems.
Requirements:
  • Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++17/20) with a deep understanding of performance optimisation.
  • Experience with GCC 12 or similar toolchains that support C++20 features.
  • Solid understanding of low-latency systems, multithreading, and memory management.
  • Background in real-time systems, high-frequency trading, or performance-critical applications.
