Technical Lead: C++ Development (Manager)

Position- C++ Development (Manager)

Location- Andheri, Mumbai

Department: Technology

Reporting To: Technical Lead (Senior Manager) or AVP Development Head

Minimum Qualifications & Experience:

Education: Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a heavily quantitative science/engineering discipline.

Experience: 6+ years of production-level experience in systems-level software development, with at least 2+ year of experience as team lead. Domain Advantage: Exposure to financial engineering environments, proprietary trading operations, asset management systems, or core fintech infrastructure is a distinct advantage.

Roles and Responsibilities:

1. High-Performance C++ Engineering (Primary Focus)

• Write clean, robust, and exceptionally fast systems-level code using Modern C++ (C++17/20) for market connectivity, risk engines, and execution routing.
• Apply low-latency programming principles to minimize execution paths, utilizing custom memory pools and placement new to entirely eliminate runtime heap allocation (malloc/free) on critical code paths.
• Build and maintain highly optimized Inter-Process Communication (IPC) channels, leveraging shared memory and lock-free ring buffers to stream data seamlessly between local processes.
• Implement complex multi-threading strategies, ensuring safe concurrent access via atomic operations and configuring thread affinity (pthread_setaffinity_np) to maximize CPU cache performance.
• Leverage template metaprogramming or High-Level Template (HTL) idioms to build powerful, compile-time optimized code abstractions that incur zero runtime performance penalty.

2. Algorithmic Data & Domain Processing

• Utilize deep knowledge of Data Structures and Algorithms to construct custom high-performance indexing, bitwise data packing, and efficient binary parsing mechanics.
• Develop optimized relational database structures, high-speed transactional logs, and lookup queries in MySQL to maintain reference data and audit trails.
• Apply trading domain knowledge to correctly parse and implement financial exchange protocols (such as FIX, ITCH, OUCH, or SBE), matching engines, order lifecycles, and risk constraints.

3. Team Management & Code Quality

• Act as the immediate supervisor for a small pod of 34 developers, facilitating daily standups, breaking down technical tasks, and tracking sprint execution.
• Maintain an uncompromising standard for code quality by conducting granular peer reviews and enforcing strict static analysis guidelines.
• Incorporate automated profiling routines (using tools like Valgrind, gprof, Google Benchmark, or Linux perf) directly into the development workflow to instantly catch latency or memory regressions.
