• Work closely with engineers, quantitative researchers, and traders to deliver scalable, reliable solutions.

What We're Looking For

• Strong C++ development and systems programming experience.
• Experience building low-latency, real-time, distributed, or performance-critical systems.
• Backgrounds from trading, big tech, gaming, networking, infrastructure, embedded systems, or similar engineering environments are all welcome.
• Engineers who enjoy solving difficult technical problems and continuously improving performance.

Why Join?

• Engineering-first culture where technology drives the business.
• Work on systems that demand exceptional performance and reliability.
• Learn from some of the industry's strongest engineers in a highly collaborative environment.
• Competitive compensation, structured career development, and long-term growth opportunities.
