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

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.
