Job Description:

Do you want to work on some of the most advanced technology in the world?

Our client operates one of the most powerful private HPC clusters globally, with 10s of thousands of GPUs (including 1000s of A100s), 100s of petabytes of storage, and almost 10 petabytes of RAM. This cutting-edge infrastructure supports state-of-the-art Deep Learning models that process trillions of data points, driving trading algorithms that handle $300 billion across 80+ exchanges daily. They are one of the youngest, yet most innovative and successful algo trading firms on the planet. All with under 200 people.

Their mission? To harness this world-class technology and the expertise of exceptional people like you to make financial markets more efficient and fairer for everyone. Technology is their heartbeat, but they don’t rely on off-the-shelf solutions—they build their own to ensure unparalleled scale, reliability, and resilience.

This is where you come in…

They are looking for an exceptional C++ Engineer to join their most critical engineering group across the whole firm. This elite team of engineers is responsible for developing all of their on-exchange proprietary trading technology—the single biggest driver of the firm’s revenue. As part of this team, you’ll be among the highest-paid engineers in the company, working on super low-level, close-to-the-metal projects that turn cutting-edge research ideas into reality.

What can they offer you?

• Build the unimaginable: Explore and work on a wide scope of projects that push the boundaries of technology. From creating an exabyte-scale distributed filesystem to custom compilers for massively parallel computation, your work will be challenging and complex. At every turn, it will contribute to the core trading stack and have a direct impact on the success of the firm.
• Work with the Best: Collaborate with some of the most talented engineers, researchers, and quants in the world. You’ll be surrounded by colleagues who are at the top of their fields, pushing the boundaries of technology and finance every day.
• Innovation & Impact: Work in a modern, young codebase with minimal legacy code and technical debt. You’ll have the freedom to choose the best technology for the job, allowing you to innovate and deliver at an unmatched scale.

They also have a pretty epic office, amazing perks, a great culture and pay very well!

What are they looking for?

You’re the kind of engineer who knows what’s going on under the hood and thrives on working at the lowest levels of software engineering—borderline hardware.

Your expertise includes some blend of modern C/C++ with the following:

• GPU programming
• Assembly Language
• Hardware knowledge (ASICs/FPGAs)
