C++ Software Engineer - Selby Jennings : Job Details

One of the leading high frequency trading firms in NYC is looking for a C++ developer to join their greenfield project and work directly with the head of platform technology, who is a pioneer of C++ trading systems development.

The team has not started trading yet and is still in the process of building their core team and hiring key contributors. They have around 7 individuals, including junior researchers, a senior PM, and quant developers. They are making a crucial hire of a C++ engineer who has experience building high-performance simulation engines for microsecond trading strategies.

The team is about 6 months away from their target 'go-live' date, where they hope to begin trading, so it's a great time to get on board to really build from scratch. The team is comprised of veterans from Radix, Jump Trading, Virtu Financial, and other Prop/HFT businesses in the market, so they have a strong team already.

As a C++ developer, you will:

• A STEM degree from a world-leading university.
• Low latency background or experience working on low latency distributed systems/platforms.
• To be a C++ enthusiast! (Experience with C++20 is a bonus but not a must-have.)
• Ideally, some experience in a high-frequency trading environment, but out-of-industry profiles will also be considered.
