• Sound understanding of what happens inside a computer when your code is running, e.g. caching, paging & system calls, how these work and why. (Knowledge of execution pipeline in a modern CPU is a bonus.)
• Familiarity with common algorithms and data structures and their performance trade-offs
• Practical experience of independently designing and implementing complex software systems is a plus
• Experience with Linux is a plus (theirs is a Linux environment), but by no means a necessity
• Financial experience is not required

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package
• Challenging work within a truly flat structure; ideas from everyone are encouraged and evaluated
• Very direct impact on the PnL, with very little bureaucracy
• Generous benefits package, including extensive medical & wellbeing provision, pension, onsite gym & sauna, fitness classes and regular staff social events

Summary

This is a fantastic opportunity to work in the Amsterdam headquarters of one of the world’s leading proprietary trading firms. With a company culture that is competitive yet collaborative, working in small, exceptionally talented teams, they build cutting-edge innovative technology solutions for their ultra-low-latency trading system.

They’re now looking for talented C++/Python engineers to join the team responsible for the full stack of applications required to run the trading business.

Sitting on the trading floor, you’ll work closely with traders and researchers to understand their needs and design effective solutions. There is very little red tape, and a rapid feedback loop on the software you build. Activities range from developing ultra-low-latency exchange protocol encoders/decoders, to writing & fine-tuning automated trading strategies, and providing the traders with user interfaces that give them better information and control.

This role would suit someone who relishes the challenges that come with an extremely fast-paced environment and can hit the ground running, making a tangible impact from day one.

Requirements

• Expert-level knowledge of C++ and/or Python is a must-have
• A successful track record as a software engineer (e.g. an active github repository for graduates; and/or years of experience working in the field for more senior roles)
• An entrepreneurial mindset and exposure to/interest in the financial industry
• Strong degree in Computer Science or IT Engineering (or similar) from a top-tier university

Rewards and Incentives 

• Incredible salary + profit-sharing structure
• Truly collaborative culture, working with the smartest minds in the industry
• Direct business impact with short feedback loop
• Benefits include: 25 days’ vacation, charitable match opportunities & fully-paid first-class travel

Summary

Unique trading firm that uses world-class technology to generate and implement outstanding research ideas, underpinned by a truly collaborative culture. Looking for a talented C++ Software Engineer to develop and maintain scalable trading applications and infrastructure, and assist with developing the full stack of infrastructure to support trading ops.

This is a fast-paced, critical role, with daily – or sometimes more frequent – release cycles, so you’ll be expected to understand how to prioritize between longer and shorter term needs. Projects will include systems custom optimization for latency, bandwidth or both, as well as multi-core/multi-threaded communications (using lock-free algorithms) to increase the theoretical computational limit per unit time.

The successful C++ Software Engineer will have a good understanding of trade-offs in terms of clock cycles and CPU cache effects, plus you’ll be expected to have a good grasp of run-time behavior, serialization delays, and asymptotic behavior in this environment.

This is a Linux shop running modern kernels, with a C++20 codebase and a Python layer on top. If you’d like to work in a collaborative environment where everyone programs, this is the role for you!

Requirements

• Strong skills and experience with C++11 and higher
• Excellent design and debugging skills
• Experience developing for production-critical systems
• Outstanding communication and prioritization skills
• Bonus points for experience with any of the following: Python, x86 hardware, performance engineering, AWS (or similar)
• Previous experience in quantitative finance or trading is a plus, but is not required

Benefits

• Competitive base salaries + discretionary performance bonus
• Hybrid working opportunities
• Catered meals and bountiful snacks
• Generous budget for home office set-up
• Health & Dental insurance, pension provision, plus fitness & wellness benefits
