What they need


Paragon Alpha have recently partnered directly with the CTO of a tier-one prop, market making firm on a strategic C++ hiring mandate across Chicago and New York.

They’re an established global market maker building their entire trading stack in-house, with a strong focus on low-level C++, hardware optimisation, network protocols and ultra-low-latency systems.

The CTO is particularly interested in engineers from embedded, firmware, hardware/software integration or other performance-critical environments. Previous HFT experience isn't essential.

We have an open budget for these hires, so please do apply to find out more.
