C++ software engineer - core

Oxford Knight
London

Summary

Leading global HFT firm is looking for a pragmatic C/C++ Engineer to join the Core Development team. Despite serving as the hub for managing the substantial operations across the UK, Europe and the Middle East, the London office retains a lively, positive environment of a start-up with the stability of a longer-established player.

Core Dev is a global group of technologists who architect, build and maintain the algorithmic trading platform. This is a fast-paced area, where taking ideas through to deployment must be fast and accurate. As a high performance software engineer, you'll work with technologists & traders to build the next generation of software solutions in areas such as fast networking, high performance computing, and real-time acceleration.

Technology is prized by the traders as crucial to their continued success. This role would suit someone who has a combination of low-level software engineer skills paired with computer architecture understanding, and exposure to low-level network architecture. This will enable you to fully contribute to co-designing hybrid hardware/software applications.

Requirements

  • Strong C/C++ design and programming skills with good API design
  • Broad knowledge of algorithms and basic understanding of statistics and algebra
  • Experience with Python, Matlab, or R for data analytics; Matplotlib, numpy are also preferred
  • Experience developing low-level and/or embedded software applications
  • Proven individual contributor in a dynamic environment
  • Degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science (or related)

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary & bonus
  • Enormous opportunity to grow, learn and have a significant business impact
  • Contributions are rewarded; career progression supported
  • Substantial benefits package, including private medical, paid parental leave, group life assurance & parking/cycle schemes

Whilst we carefully review all applications, to all jobs, due to the high volume of applications we receive it is not possible to respond to those who have not been successful.
