We’re hiring a Senior C++ Engineer to work on the systems that sit at the heart of a global trading platform. This is a backend, systems-focused role centred around performance-critical engineering — building the infrastructure that enables fast, reliable, and secure execution at scale.

🚀 The Role

You’ll be working on the core framework and performance-critical components that underpin the trading engine.

Your responsibilities will include:

* Designing and building low-level systems that support high-frequency transaction processing

* Developing robust, reusable components used across the trading platform

* Engineering for low latency, high throughput, and system resilience

* Working on concurrent and distributed systems operating under real production load

* Identifying and resolving bottlenecks across CPU, memory, and network layers

* Writing efficient, maintainable, and well-tested C++ code

* Partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver scalable technical solutions

🧠 What They’re Looking For

* Strong experience building production systems in C++

* Background working on high-performance, low-latency, or high-throughput systems

* Solid understanding of multithreading, concurrency, and memory management

* Experience working in Linux-based environments

* Familiarity with distributed systems or large-scale architectures

* Experience with performance tuning and profiling at system level

* Exposure to other languages (e.g. Python, Java, SQL) is beneficial

* Interest in trading systems, financial infrastructure, or market mechanics is a plus

* Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment

🌍 Why This Role

* Strong comp (including bonus & equity)

* Opportunity to solve complex, performance-driven engineering problems

* High ownership culture

* Remote-first setup with a globally distributed team
