With a focus on delivering high-performance trading systems and infrastructure, the company serves a diverse client base across global markets. N P Associates is committed to fostering a collaborative and dynamic work environment where talented professionals can thrive and contribute to cutting-edge projects that shape the future of financial trading technology.

About The Role

We are seeking a skilled C++ Software Engineer with expertise in C++ and Python, ideally within the financial or banking sectors. This role involves developing high-performance, low-latency trading systems that handle substantial transaction volumes and support the sophisticated needs of global financial markets. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with product, infrastructure, and QA teams to design, implement, and maintain critical software components that drive efficiency and reliability. A strong understanding of equities, futures, options, fixed income, and exchange connectivity protocols such as FIX and SBE is highly desirable. Candidates at various experience levels, from intermediate to senior, are encouraged to apply, especially those with a background in critical systems development and low-latency environments.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will possess a minimum of 2 years of professional experience in C++ development, particularly with C++ 11 and Boost libraries, creating scalable and performant applications. Proficiency in Python programming, including testing frameworks like Pytest, is essential. Candidates should have a solid understanding of networking protocols such as UDP, Multicasting, and TCP, along with experience working on Linux systems. Familiarity with capital markets exchange connectivity, including protocols like FIX and SBE, is preferred. A good grasp of modern software development methodologies, version control systems like Git, and agile practices such as continuous integration, sprints, and Jira are required. Knowledge of cloud technologies is a plus but not mandatory. Strong problem-solving skills, creativity, and the ability to work effectively within a team are critical for success in this role.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
