• Experience building high-performance, low-latency, or high-throughput systems.
• Strong understanding of multithreading, concurrency, and distributed systems concepts.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
• Experience working within Linux environments.
• Exposure to trading systems, quant infrastructure, HFT, or market‑making environments is beneficial.
• Strong debugging and performance optimisation capabilities.

Why This Role

• Performance‑critical engineering problems with direct business impact.
• Lean, highly technical environment.
• High ownership and autonomy.
• Close proximity to the trading side of the business.
• Flexible working hours and healthy work‑life balance.
• Remote setup
