Job description

A leading global alternative investment firm is hiring a C++ Quantitative Developer. You will join a team that builds and runs a systematic platform for equity volatility execution across APAC markets, plus options market-making in Hong Kong.

Equities experience is essential. This is an equity derivatives role. We want people who already know how equity or index options markets work, not people who are learning them from scratch.

This role sits between quantitative research, electronic trading and high-performance engineering. You'll work directly with researchers and traders around the world. Together you'll turn trading ideas and models into robust, low-latency production systems. These cover market making, pricing, risk controls, market-data handling and exchange connectivity.

What you'll do

• Design, build and maintain core parts of a systematic volatility execution platform across APAC
• Write fast, reliable C++ for latency-sensitive trading environments
• Build market making, pre-trade and real-time risk checks, order controls and market-data handling
• Work with quants and traders to turn models and execution requirements into production-quality software
• Own the full development lifecycle, from design through testing, deployment, monitoring and optimization
• Analyze trading and market data to improve execution quality, and investigate latency, connectivity, pricing and production issues
• Use modern tooling, including AI-assisted development, to improve productivity, code quality and testing
