Job description

C++ Trading Platform Developer - Leading Global Crypto Market Maker

This is a unique opportunity at a highly ambitious market maker involved in high-frequency algorithmic trading of cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and decentralized finance. As a C++ Trading Platform Developer, you will be passionate about technology, interested in both low-level hardware details and high-level system design, with a good understanding of data infrastructure.

With significant autonomy to shape your role, your main focus will be to expand and scale the global trading platform, primarily using C++ and Python. Projects include real-time data capture, order entry across multiple exchanges, robust connectivity, and built-in monitoring.

There are no legacy systems, bureaucratic hurdles, or multiple approval layers; all developers report directly to the CTO, who is very hands-on. If you love coding and can make an immediate impact on revenue, this role is ideal for you.

Requirements

• Strong C++ skills are essential — this will be tested.
• Experience with C++ standard libraries and understanding their workings.
• Solid background in developing scalable and robust C++ and Python code.
• Knowledge of networking, CPU and memory models, and assembly language is a plus.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or related fields from a top-tier university.

Benefits

• Flat, non-hierarchical structure with independence and autonomy.
• Join a high-growth startup with a great work culture.
• Social events, onsite gym, unlimited food and drinks at the office.

We review all applications carefully; however, due to high volume, we cannot respond to unsuccessful candidates.
