Senior Software Engineer

Software Engineer, Low-Latency Systems

• Employment Type: Full-time
• Experience Level: senior-level (7–10 years)

About the Role

We are hiring a Software Engineer, Low-Latency Systems to design and optimize the core infrastructure powering our algorithmic trading systems. In this role, you will work on latency-critical execution paths where nanoseconds, cache lines, memory layout, and network behavior matter.

This is a hands-on engineering position for someone who enjoys building high-performance systems and reasoning deeply about correctness, throughput, and tail latency. Prior trading domain experience is helpful but not required—we value engineering depth and systems thinking above all else.

What You’ll Do (Responsibilities)

• Build Core Infrastructure: Design, develop, and maintain low-latency components including order routing, market data handling, and execution pipelines.
• Optimize Performance: Profile and optimize critical code paths to minimize throughput and tail latency.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with quant and trading teams to translate complex strategy requirements into highly efficient infrastructure primitives.
• Drive System Design: Contribute to architectural decisions around threading models, memory layout, and network stack configurations.
• Ensure Reliability: Improve observability and operational performance across trading infrastructure. Participate in on-call rotations, incident response, and post-mortems to keep systems running smoothly.

What We’re Looking For (Requirements)

• Experience: 7 to 10 years of professional experience in systems engineering, with a demonstrable focus on low-latency systems or high-performance computing (HPC).
• Language Proficiency: Strong, production-level proficiency in Rust and/or C++.
• Systems Depth: Comfort reasoning about memory management, lock-free data structures, compiler behavior, and CPU-level performance.
• Tooling: Experience using Linux performance tooling such as perf, flamegraphs, strace, or similar tools.
• Networking Fundamentals: Solid understanding of network stack behavior, including TCP, UDP, multicast, and kernel bypass.
• Problem Solving: Ability to debug complex production issues and optimize systems under real-world constraints.

Nice to Have (Bonus Points)

• Prior exposure to trading systems, market data feeds, or exchange connectivity.
• Familiarity with financial market protocols (e.g., FIX, ITCH, OUCH).
• Experience with low-latency networking technologies like DPDK, RDMA, or kernel bypass.
• Familiarity with co-location environments and latency-sensitive infrastructure.

Culture & Fit

We are looking for an engineer who takes ownership, thrives in ambiguous and fast-moving environments, and holds an incredibly high bar for correctness and performance. If you love drilling down into the lowest levels of software to squeeze out maximum efficiency, we want to hear from you.

Do you have what it takes?

·      Proficient in C, C++ development, OS concepts, Data Structures, Distributed computing, and Algorithms.

·      Actively engaged in projects related to architecture and design (architecture, design patterns, reliability, and scaling).

·      Excellent problem-solving capability with strong fundamentals in Computer Science.

·      Highly proficient in data structures and algorithms.

·      Ability to pick up new technologies rapidly to convert specifications to low level design.

·      Ability to clearly communicate the intent and approach when producing a code design document.

How can you contribute to our success?

·      Develop frontend as well as backend components for delivering product on cloud platforms.

·      Participate in activities that lead up to the code design. This may include activities such as developing prototypes, proof of concept, compare pros and cons of various implementation choices being considered and recommending the most appropriate one.

·      Mentor and influence junior developers to adhere to good coding standards and become quality conscious.

·      Review critical pieces of code that are developed as per this code design.

·      Ensure that the code being delivered is of the highest quality.

·      Ensure appropriate unit tests and functional as well as non-functional tests are considered.

·      Conceptualize and work towards building processes, methodology, and tools to improve team’s ability to deliver high quality software.
