Job Description - Quantitative Developer (Low Latency Trading)

Contract Type:

Permanent

Location:

Singapore, Singapore

Date Published:

Salary:

Overview

We are looking for a Quantitative Developer to join a high-performance trading technology team focused on building and optimizing real-time market-making systems across multiple crypto derivatives exchanges.

In this role, you will work closely with senior engineers and traders to design, build, and enhance latency-sensitive trading infrastructure, including execution systems, market data pipelines, and exchange connectivity. This position is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving complex performance challenges in event-driven, low-latency environments.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain latency-critical components of the trading platform, including market data handlers, order routing systems, and quoting engines
  • Optimize system performance by improving latency, throughput, and jitter across trading and market data pipelines
  • Build and maintain exchange connectivity using WebSocket, REST, and FIX-style APIs
  • Profile, debug, and tune system performance in cloud-hosted and distributed environments
  • Develop internal monitoring and analytics tools to track latency metrics, order round-trip times, and market data delays
  • Implement performance optimizations such as CPU pinning, garbage collection tuning, and asynchronous event loop improvements
  • Contribute to automated stress-testing and load-testing frameworks to simulate exchange conditions and high market volatility
  • Collaborate with traders to support strategy configuration, safeguards, and scenario testing
Requirements
  • 5+ years of experience building low-latency or high-performance distributed systems
  • Strong programming skills in Python and at least one high-performance language such as Rust or C++
  • Experience developing market data systems, order management systems, or internal order books
  • Familiarity with low-latency programming techniques (e.g. lock-free structures, ring buffers, cache optimization)
  • Hands-on experience with performance profiling and system tuning
  • Good understanding of network latency and system-level performance factors
  • Familiarity with exchange microstructure, including order types, rate limits, order book events, and trading halts
  • Experience working with containerized environments (Docker) and automated deployment pipelines
  • Experience with Pub/Sub or streaming frameworks such as Kafka, NATS, Redis Streams, or similar
  • Prior experience working in crypto trading, market making, or electronic trading environments is highly preferred
  • Familiarity with CEX API behaviours and exchange-specific quirks
