C++ Developer – Quantitative Trading Systems

Are you ready to push the boundaries of C++ development in a live trading environment?

Our client, a quantitative investment firm, uses scientific rigor and mathematical precision to optimize trading strategies in global markets. They’re looking for a C++ Developer who has proven experience in asset management, fintech, or hedge funds. This isn’t optional; if your background doesn’t align with these industries, this role isn’t the right fit. In this high-impact position, you’ll collaborate closely with Co-CTOs, building and scaling systems that enable real-time trading decisions based on complex market data.

What sets this firm apart? This firm doesn’t deal in theoretical coding—every line you write directly contributes to systematic trading success, with an immediate impact across trading, data, research, and operations. The Core Technology team combines engineering, data science, and trading expertise to create solutions that drive investment performance, making this a unique opportunity for developers who understand the intricacies of financial systems and real-time applications.

Your mission:

  • Build, enhance, and maintain the core components of the trading system, from exchange connectivity to monitoring systems.

  • Design new features and collaborate with internal users to continuously improve the proprietary platform.

  • Participate in on-call rotations to support a 24/7 trading environment, handling troubleshooting as issues arise.

  • Support projects beyond the core trading system, contributing to data pipelines, operational tooling, and post-trade systems as needed.

    What you bring:

  • Mandatory: A background in asset management, fintech, or hedge funds.

  • UK Citizenship (this role requires UK-based applicants with full rights to work).

  • A degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or similar.

  • 2+ years of professional experience in C++ and Python, ideally within high-performance environments.

  • Knowledge of distributed systems and network programming; experience with C++ template metaprogramming is a plus.

  • A keen interest in trading technology and a readiness to tackle complex challenges.

    If you’re a UK citizen with industry-specific experience and a desire to dive into quantitative trading systems, this role offers exposure to all areas of the firm and an environment where innovative ideas thrive. Apply today to join a team at the forefront of financial technology
