Job Description

Salary: £200k + bonus

Summary

Not your standard financial services provider, this firm prides itself on its flat hierarchy, avoiding bureaucracy whilst rewarding people on merit and excellence. Specialists within electronic market-making in FX, equity, fixed income and commodity markets, they have one of the best names in the industry.

Based in London, Chicago, Sydney & Amsterdam, they are looking to expand their low-latency team with a developer well-versed in modern C++ (C++11 onwards). They design, build and maintain the entire software stack and everything they build is used in-house, trading over $175 billion of assets every day.

Requirements
  • Strong knowledge of C++11 onwards (they have a completely post-2011 codebase)
  • Sound understanding of what happens inside a computer when your code is running, e.g. caching, paging & system calls, how these work and why. (Knowledge of execution pipeline in a modern CPU is a bonus.)
  • Good proficiency in mathematics, especially being comfortable with calculus and matrices (as much of the work involves designing and implementing numerical algorithms)
  • Familiarity with common algorithms and data structures and their performance trade-offs
  • Practical experience designing and implementing complex software systems is a plus
  • Experience with Linux and/or Python is a plus, but by no means a necessity
  • Financial experience is NOT required

NB: Please do not apply if you are a fresh graduate.

Benefits
  • Significant compensation package - you are making a direct impact on the PnL - they will pay leading market rate / are flexible for the right candidate
  • They're willing to be flexible with WFH
  • Collaborative and friendly environment with highly engaged colleagues
  • Culture of trust, innovation and scientific rigour


Whilst we carefully review all applications, to all jobs, due to the high volume of applications we receive it is not possible to respond to those who have not been successful.
