Job description

C++ Systems & Performance Engineer – Quant Trading – NYC

This is an opportunity to build performance-critical systems within a highly technical quantitative trading environment, where C++ is central to the engineering rather than simply one implementation language among many.

Depending on your strengths, you could work across real-time market data, execution systems, pricing and risk infrastructure, simulation platforms, foundational libraries or large-scale compute.

What you’ll do

Build performance-critical systems in modern C++

Work across areas including market data, execution, simulation and core trading infrastructure

Profile and optimize systems across memory, CPU, compiler, operating system and network

Own technically challenging components from design through production

What we’re looking for

Deep production experience with C++

Strong systems fundamentals: memory, concurrency, data structures and computer architecture

Experience building high-performance, real-time or large-scale systems

Engineers who care about cache locality, allocations, compiler behaviour and how software performs in practice

C, Rust, Linux, networking, GPU or compiler experience is highly relevant

You’ll join a small, exceptionally strong engineering team, work on systems where performance has measurable impact and receive compensation at the top end of the market.
