Summary:
Fantastic chance to join this rapidly growing crypto trading firm, as they seek an outstanding individual to be their very hands-on CTO contributing to C++ development at this exciting time of growth.
A small but established company with a strong track record, it was founded by highly successful individuals, all of them formerly senior figures at market-leading high frequency trading firms. Hugely tech-driven, they create HFT algorithms to increase the liquidity of the cryptocurrency markets and deploy arbitrage trading strategies.

You will also manage a small team of engineers and take charge of the team hiring, bringing them along as you realize the vision and potential of this business.

Requirements:
- 10+ years’ hands-on experience, with good grasp of high-level architecture design
- Solid team lead/management experience
- A background in HFT is a necessity
- Strong programming skills ideally in low latency Python (or low latency C++ with some Python exposure)
- In-depth knowledge of design patterns, data structures and algorithms
- Exceptional communication skills in English, at all levels of technical know-how
- Able to travel to the office in Dubai
Benefits:
- Competitive salaries + strong bonus tied to results
- Flexible hours and a healthy work-life balance
- Up to fully remote, with paid ‘workations’ 3-4 times a year to cool places all over the world to meet your colleagues!
