Design and implement high-performance C++ systems targeting sub-microsecond and nanosecond-level latency
Optimise production code for speed, reliability, and throughput under live market conditions
Collaborate directly with traders, quant researchers, and fellow engineers on technically demanding problems
Work across the full software lifecycle in a fast-paced, results-driven environment
