C/C++ Software Engineer – Core Dev- Global Quant Firm

Salary: up to £200k base + bonus

Summary

Leading global HFT firm is looking for a pragmatic C/C++ Engineer to join the Core Development team. Despite serving as the hub for managing the substantial operations across the UK, Europe and the Middle East, the London office retains a lively, positive environment of a start-up with the stability of a longer-established player.

Core Dev is a global group of technologists who architect, build and maintain the algorithmic trading platform. This is a fast-paced area, where taking ideas through to deployment must be fast and accurate.

Technology is prized by the traders as crucial to their continued success.

This will enable you to fully contribute to co-designing hybrid hardware/software applications.
