Requirements

We are looking for exceptional engineers to join our Latency Systems Team , a team that builds the technological backbone of Quadeye trading operations. As part of this team, you will work on optimizing and designing real-time systems that operate at nanosecond-level latency , where every hardware cycle and every CPU instruction matters.

You will work at the intersection of operating system internals, networking, hardware architecture, and high-performance software design . This role involves full-cycle ownership: from understanding system requirements, designing solutions, writing efficient code, testing performance, deploying at scale, to monitoring systems in production.

You collaborate closely with quantitative researchers, traders, system engineers, and infrastructure teams to ensure our systems push the edge of performance and reliability.

This internship is ideal for students who enjoy low-level programming, system design, OS internals, and algorithmic optimization.

What You Work On

As an Intern Systems Engineer, your responsibilities include:

1. Real-Time System Development
   • Design and implement real-time trade execution systems and risk management pipelines
   • Build software that handles extreme throughput and executes thousands of decisions within microseconds
2. Performance Optimization
   • Identify bottlenecks in critical execution paths
   • Optimize code to reduce latency and improve throughput using:
3. End-to-End Ownership
   • Gather system requirements
   • Translate them into design documents
   • Implement features
   • Write performance-sensitive code
   • Deploy into production under guidance
   • Monitor systems using real-time tools
4. Research & Innovation
   • Operating system kernel
   • System interrupts, clock sources, CPU affinity
   • High-performance networking stacks
   • Kernel bypass technologies
   • Low-latency system tuning
   • CPU microarchitecture (caches, pipelines, prefetchers, NUMA)
   • Optimizing algorithms to run predictably within tight latency budgets
   • Using cache-efficient, lock-free, or wait-free data structures
5. Monitoring Tools
   • Build performance monitoring tools that track:
   • CPU cycles
   • Network throughput
   • Memory allocation patterns
   • System latency metrics
   • Develop utilities that help diagnose issues and improve system behavior
