Job description:

Client

This is a global, massively successful hedge fund employing thousands of people, but it operates like a start-up, with all the latest technologies and solely greenfield projects / building from scratch – with no legacy systems.

Tel Aviv is a key area of expansion for them in 2021, and this team operates nothing like what you’d expect from a traditional financial firm. This is a fantastic opportunity for expert C++ engineers who thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative culture, where your hard work is well-rewarded.

• Significant modern C++ skills on Linux, ideally with some Python experience too
• Minimum bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or related) from a top-tier university
• Strong analytical and maths skills, including algorithms and data structures
