technology and global financial markets, where performance is measured in nanoseconds and innovation drives competitive advantage. You'll be part of a team that designs and builds ultra-lowlatency trading systems deployed across global exchanges. Your work will directly impact trading performance, and you'll be empowered to push the boundaries of what … s possible in software and hardware optimisation. Key Responsibilities Architect and implement high-performance C++ systems with extreme latency sensitivity. Optimise every layer of the stack - from CPU cache and memory allocation to kernel bypass and network I/O. Collaborate with traders, quants, and infrastructure engineers to deliver robust, scalable, and lightning-fast trading solutions. Profile, benchmark … kernel bypass technologies (e.g., DPDK, Solarflare/OpenOnload) and high-performance networking. Familiarity with Linux internals, NUMA, CPU affinity, and custom memory management. Proven track record of building latency-critical systems in trading, gaming, or telecom environments. Bonus: Experience with FPGA acceleration, RDMA, or custom NIC firmware. Why Apply? Work with some of the fastest systems and smartest More ❯
custom allocator design , branchless algorithms , and profile-guided optimization . A habit of benchmarking rather than assuming - data, not theory. Ideal Background Proven experience building ultra-low-latency systems in trading, gaming, or networking. Deep understanding of CPU architecture , from cache hierarchies to speculative execution. The mindset of someone who thinks in nanoseconds and … bureaucracy, no excuses. Engineering, hardware, and trading sit shoulder-to-shoulder. Code that's 10ns faster doesn't just run better - it changes the business.
