We build next‑generation high‑frequency trading infrastructure.
No CRUD. Pure low‑level optimization, hardware‑near coding, and extreme networking.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
— Design and optimize HFT trading engines in C++ (17/20) with <10 µs latency targets

— Build and maintain distributed systems handling massive market data feeds
— Tune the entire network stack for deterministic, ultra‑low latency
MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS:
— HFT: Proven experience building trading engines or market data ingestion systems in a production HFT environment
— AWS: Deep hands‑on expertise with EC2 (C/P/Z instances, EBS‑optimized, CPU Pinning, Placement Groups, VPC), and low‑latency cloud deployments
— Market Making: Production experience designing and running automated market‑making algorithms (crypto or traditional equities)
— Networking: Expert‑level understanding of TCP/IP, UDP multicast (PIM/IGMP), socket buffer tuning, and congestion control
— Kernel Bypass: Mandatory production experience with Solarflare / OpenOnload or Mellanox VMA / DPDK
— Protocol Design: Building binary application‑level protocols (SBE, custom FIX engines, zero‑copy serialization)
— Distributed Systems: Low‑latency clustering, shared memory, lock‑free IPC, deterministic behaviour under load
— C++: Modern C++ (17/20), multithreading, lock‑free data structures, profiling (perf, VTune, Intel PCM)
NICE TO HAVE:
— Experience with crypto exchanges (Binance, Bybit, OKX) via WebSocket + UDP feeds
— DPDK / XDP / AF_XDP
— Order book microstructure and market dynamics
WE OFFER:
— Fully remote (European timezone alignment)
— Real engineering at the intersection of maths, algorithms, and finance
— Profit‑sharing program – you benefit directly from the strategies you build
— Minimal bureaucracy, maximum ownership and impact
