We are working with a top quantitative trading firm looking for an engineer with deep expertise in C++, Linux and systems performance.

  • Investigate CPU, memory and concurrency bottlenecks
  • Work on memory allocation, threading, synchronization and runtime behaviour
  • Profile applications from software down to the underlying hardware
  • Improve cache efficiency, data layout and execution performance
  • Develop low-level tooling and infrastructure used by other engineers

What we’re looking for:

  • Deep C++ and Linux experience
  • Strong understanding of memory management, concurrency and CPU architecture
  • Experience profiling and optimizing complex systems
  • Knowledge of caches, NUMA, allocators, atomics and synchronization
  • Experience with compilers, runtimes, kernels, databases, browsers, networking or other performance-sensitive systems is highly relevant

No previous trading experience is required. This is particularly relevant for engineers working on performance-sensitive infrastructure, runtimes, operating systems, compilers, browsers or large-scale C++ systems.
