Based in London, Chicago, Sydney & Amsterdam, they are looking to expand their low-latency team with a developer well-versed in modern C++ (C++11 onwards).

Requirements

1. Strong knowledge of C++11 onwards (they have a completely post-2011 codebase)
2. Sound understanding of what happens inside a computer when your code is running, e.g. caching, paging & system calls, how these work and why. (Knowledge of execution pipeline in a modern CPU is a bonus.)
3. Good proficiency in mathematics, especially being comfortable with calculus and matrices (as much of the work involves designing and implementing numerical algorithms)
4. Familiarity with common algorithms and data structures and their performance trade-offs
5. Practical experience designing and implementing complex software systems is a plus
6. Experience with Linux and/or Python is a plus, but by no means a necessity
7. Financial experience is NOT required

NB: Please do not apply if you are a fresh graduate.

Benefits

2. They're willing to be flexible with WFH
3. Collaborative and friendly environment with highly engaged colleagues
4. Culture of trust, innovation and scientific rigour
