C++ Engineer Trading & Market Infrastructure

Job Description

• Design, develop, and optimize low-latency C++ applications for financial and crypto trading environments
• Build and maintain multithreaded, concurrent systems handling high-throughput market data and order flows
• Implement lock-free or low-lock data structures, atomic operations, and efficient synchronization mechanisms
• Optimize end-to-end latency through memory management, CPU cache utilization, NUMA awareness, and thread affinity
• Develop real-time order management, execution, and matching components
• Profile, benchmark, and tune systems to eliminate latency spikes, contention, and GC-like pauses
• Ensure system reliability, fault tolerance, and correctness under extreme load and market volatility
• Collaborate closely with trading, quant, product, and infrastructure teams to deliver production-grade systems

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong experience in modern C++ (C++11/14/17/20) in production environments
• Deep understanding of multithreading, concurrency, and the C++ memory model
• Proven experience building low-latency financial or crypto systems (e.g., trading engines, market data handlers)
• Expertise in lock-free programming, atomics, and synchronization primitives
• Strong knowledge of Linux internals, including scheduling, CPU pinning, NUMA, and networking
• Hands-on experience with performance profiling and debugging tools (perf, gdb, valgrind, flame graphs)
• Solid understanding of financial market microstructure or crypto exchange mechanics is a plus.
