• Partner with quantitative researchers and traders to translate trading ideas, models, and execution requirements into production-quality software.
• Contribute across the full development lifecycle — requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, and ongoing optimisation.
• Analyse trading and market data to improve execution quality, system performance, and operational robustness, and investigate pricing, market-data, latency, connectivity, and production issues.
• Collaborate across global locations and apply modern tooling, including AI-assisted development, to enhance productivity, code quality, and testing.
• Professional software-development experience in C++, with strong problem-solving skills on complex, time-sensitive technical challenges.
• A solid grasp of software-development best practices and the end-to-end development lifecycle, automated testing, CI/CD, and observability.

• Knowledge of low-latency trading systems, performance optimisation, concurrency, profiling, and Linux development/troubleshooting.
