Job Description:

C++ Software Engineer

McGregor Boyall has been mandated by a systematic quant firm that is looking for C++ execution engineers who can push the boundaries of algorithmic trading performance. They're rebuilding their order execution engine and need experts who understand both market microstructure and high-performance distributed systems.

You'll design and implement sophisticated order scheduling algorithms that intelligently prioritize and sequence trading activities based on multiple dynamic factors, including market conditions, liquidity levels, and strategic objectives. These algorithms will leverage real-time data to optimize execution timing and reduce market impact.

In addition, you will develop high-performance optimization engines capable of processing vast streams of market data instantaneously, enabling real-time recalibration of trading strategies. These engines will utilize advanced mathematical models and machine learning techniques, ensuring optimal trade execution.

You will also build robust execution strategies that operate at nanosecond-level precision, harnessing ultra-low latency infrastructure and cutting-edge networking technologies. This includes implementing complex transaction cost analysis tools that evaluate historical and real-time cost metrics, identifying opportunities to minimize trading expenses.

This is a unique opportunity to work within a world-class engineering team that consistently pushes the boundaries of technology, driving innovation and excellence.
