We build high-performance systems designed to compete in some of the most demanding and latency-sensitive markets in the world. Our developers collaborate closely with quantitative researchers and infrastructure teams to solve complex technical and strategic problems that drive significant business impact.

We’re looking for a C++ Strategy Developer to join our Trading Technology team in Dublin. In this role, you’ll design, build, and optimise high-frequency trading systems that process massive data streams in real time. You’ll work side‑by‑side with experienced technologists and quantitative analysts, gaining deep exposure to the logic and technology that powers automated decision‑making in global financial markets. Trading experience is beneficial but not required.

• Collaborate with quantitative researchers and technologists to implement and refine strategies.
• Build and tune systems to achieve optimal performance, reliability, and scalability in a competitive trading landscape.
• Optimise and troubleshoot infrastructure for latency, throughput, and system bottlenecks.
• Own the full software development lifecycle—from idea to production—while contributing to our long-term architecture and tooling.

What we’re looking for

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field; professional experience developing performance-critical applications in modern C++ (C++11/14/17/20).
• Strong command of multi-threading, memory management, IPC, STL, Boost, and network/socket programming.
• Deep understanding of performance tuning, profiling, and optimisation methodologies.
• Familiarity with designing high-performance systems in real-time environments (prior trading or financial industry experience is a plus, but not required).
• Passion for solving challenging technical problems, iterating quickly, and writing clean, maintainable code.

• Collaboration: You’ll partner directly with quants and technologists, working on cross-functional teams where your input truly matters.
• Challenge & Growth: We value individuals who thrive on solving hard problems and continuously push to learn and improve.
