Quant Developer - Crypto | Highest Calibre Quant Trading Firm | London

My client are quietly building one of the most technically ambitious crypto trading platforms in the hedge fund world: a fully systematic, low-latency, high-frequency architecture designed to dominate the world's most volatile, fragmented markets.

This is crypto at hedge-fund scale, with real capital, infrastructure and impact on PnL. You'll sit shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the sharpest quant researchers and traders in the space, designing and optimising alpha pipelines, market adapters and execution engines that operate 24/7 across global venues.

We're after C++20/23 engineers who live for performance, thrive in Linux, and can turn complex market logic into nanosecond-efficient code. If you've ever stared at perf traces for fun, built your own feed handler, or find beauty in a perfectly-tuned lock-free queue, you'll fit right in.

The Opportunity:

• Greenfield, high-budget crypto trading stack with no legacy or bureaucracy
• Work directly with portfolio managers and quants (your code is the strategy)
• Hedge-fund comp, startup pace - total package easily £150k+ for the right profile
• A culture of research, experimentation and raw engineering talent
• Real ownership, from alpha enrichment to exchange integration

If you're sitting at a large fund wondering when you'll actually get to build, this is that chance. Apply for a confidential, exploratory conversation.

If your profile is a good fit, I will reach out to you within 12 hours from application.
