Job Description:

Our client, a prestigious hedge fund based in London, is seeking a Senior C++ Quant Developer to join their team. This role involves close collaboration with traders and risk managers to deliver both real-time and end-of-day pricing and risk analytics across all trading activities within the firm.

As a key member of the core technology team, you will be responsible for building and enhancing high-performance Linux-based services, as well as integrating and supporting pricing models used for trading and risk calculations. The role offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of financial technology, developing cutting-edge systems alongside leading quantitative analysts, developers, and trading professionals.

• Engage directly with traders and risk managers to gather requirements and deliver high-impact solutions.

• 4 - 12 years of experience in a front-office or middle-office development role.
• Advanced proficiency in C/C++ (including STL) for low-latency, high-throughput development on Linux.
• Strong background in designing and implementing multithreaded and distributed systems.
• Experience working with pricing models is highly desirable.
• Solid understanding of execution and instrument lifecycles (e.g., corporate actions, bond coupons, swap resets, settlement processes).
• Proficiency with the Linux/GCC toolchain and Red Hat-based systems.
