Middle C++ Developer - Greenfield LowLatency Team

Middle C++ Software Developer

A well‑established quantitative trading firm is launching a brand‑new London engineering hub and is hiring a C++ Software Developer to work on a greenfield, low‑latency trading platform covering options, equities, and futures.

This is a genuine greenfield opportunity: designing and building core trading infrastructure from the ground up in a lean, research‑driven environment. Engineers have real ownership, working directly on production systems that trade live capital.

What you'll be building

• Greenfield, high‑performance execution engines and exchange connectivity
• Real‑time options pricing and automated quoting systems
• Ultra‑low‑latency market data pipelines and order handling
• Highly scalable systems operating at extreme message rates
• Close collaboration with quants, traders, and risk to embed models directly into production

What they're looking for

• 3-5 years of strong C++ experience within electronic trading, market making, or options desks
• Solid understanding of low‑latency systems, networking, and binary protocols
• Willingness to own end‑to‑end projects and work daily with traders and quants in a small, high‑calibre team

If you're looking for a high‑impact greenfield role building serious low‑latency trading systems in a top‑tier quantitative environment, this is a compelling opportunity to explore. Apply for more information.
