C++ Engineer - Low Latency Market Data (Greenfield Team)
We're partnering with a top-tier quantitative trading firm operating market-making strategies across global electronic venues. The team is building a greenfield tick-data and market-data platform optimised for deterministic latency and extreme throughput.
Role
- Design and implement ultra-low-latency market-data pipelines from exchange feed-handler to downstream consumers
- Hands-on development in modern C++23 on performance-critical hot paths
- Exchange connectivity, feed normalisation, sequencing, and recovery logic
- Deep involvement in latency profiling, optimisation, and systems architecture
- Close work with low-latency engineers and quantitative teams

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you

- Kernel-bypass networking (e.g. DPDK, Solarflare/Onload, RDMA)
- Strong background in low-latency / high-performance systems
- Solid understanding of Linux internals, CPU architecture, cache behaviour, memory layout, and profiling tools
