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.

Role

This specific team is operating like a core team of the company: 45 members globally have built a next-generation platform using micro-services architecture in C++17 and Python (3.8 with asyncio concurrency module), and using the latest cloud and containerisation technologies (AWS / Docker / Kubernetes).

This platform is only 18 months old, so there’s no legacy code involved, and nearly all of the work over the next 2-3 years (and likely beyond) is being built from scratch / completely greenfield.

Here you’ll find no ‘finance culture’ and very little ‘red-tape’; it is a team of techies who are there to build awesome, new, vital platforms. A hedge-fund salary without the long, finance-associated hours or work.

Skills and Experience Required

• 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

Benefits & Incentives

• Strong salary + bonuses + generous benefits package
• Work-from-home opportunities
• Collaborative working environment
• Unique company where you will work on engaging, greenfield projects

Salary: £150k base + £100k bonus

Company:

This small, high frequency trading (HFT) hedge fund is still very greenfield, but with market leaders at the helm they are growing fast and making a massive impression on the industry using C++.

Being a small team there is no red tape and no legacy code. Everything here is being built from the ground up and you’ll have the chance to really make your mark.

Role:

You will be designing, implementing and maintaining latency sensitive high frequency trading systems. You will be coding in C++ working on ultra-low latency systems.

Working alongside some of the brightest minds and top techies you’ll be pushed daily, but in a more relaxed, open environment where you are encouraged to express your C++ skills individually and as part of the team.

Benefits:

• Greenfield project
• Massive compensation package
• Small team – big impact to be made + growing fast

Requirements:

• Exceptional C++ skills
• Highly desirable: previous low-latency or HFT experience
