⚡ Quant Dev
📍 Fully Remote 🏦 Low Latency Trading Systems
We’re currently hiring a Quant Dev to work on the systems underpinning a global proprietary trading firm.
This role sits at the intersection of quantitative research, trading logic, and high-performance C++ engineering, with a strong focus on building and optimising latency-sensitive trading systems operating under real production load.
The environment is highly technical and engineering-driven, with engineers working very closely alongside traders and researchers on live trading infrastructure and strategy development.
The Role
The trading team is growing rapidly, creating increasing demand for engineers who can help implement, optimise, and maintain live trading strategies at production quality and speed.
This hire will work closely with traders and researchers to translate trading ideas into robust, performance-critical systems, with a strong focus on latency, reliability, and scalability.
