C++ Engineer - Trading Technology

We are partnered with a highly successful quantitative trading firm who are seeking a talented C++ Engineer to join one of their trading desks team in Dublin.

You'll be on the trading desk working closely with quantitative researchers, tradersa and fellow engineers working on:

• The Design, build, and maintain production C++ code that is correct, readable, and robust.
• Picking up unfamiliar code, understanding how it works, find where it goes wrong, and fix it with confidence.
• Make and explain design decisions, weighing tradeoffs such as simplicity, safety, maintainability, and speed.
• Work across different parts of a larger system, from how data comes in, to how it's processed, to how results are produced or acted on.
• Identifying where performance genuinely matters, and focus optimisation effort there rather than everywhere & reviewing code and share knowledge with teammates, communicating your reasoning clearly.

What the team is looking for:

• Strong, production grade, modern C++ (17/20/23/26) and its fundamentals (object lifetimes, memory and resource management, and data lifecycle)
• Meaningful experience with performance-sensitive or high-throughput systems and exposure to more than one layer of a larger system (e.g. ingestion, processing, and output or execution)
• Comfortable both writing new code from scratch and working within existing codebases.
• You think about tradeoffs before committing to an approach
• Clear communication
