This is a senior C++ role on the market data team, focused on building the low-latency libraries and services that distribute real-time market data across the trading platform. The team sits at the core of the stack, and the role exists to improve the speed, reliability, and operational robustness of data that downstream trading systems rely on for time-sensitive decisions.
You would design and deliver high-performance market data infrastructure, working closely with traders, quants, and adjacent engineering teams including execution, low-latency, and hardware. The work looks like a mix of greenfield platform development and production engineering, with real ownership over architecture, performance tuning, testing standards, and issue resolution in a live trading environment.
- Modern C++ in a genuine low-latency environment
- Direct exposure to feed handlers and market data protocols such as MDP3 and ITCH
- Strong focus on systems programming, networking, multithreading, and hardware/software optimisation
- Close interaction with traders, quants, and infrastructure teams
- Senior individual contributor role with meaningful end-to-end ownership
- Best suited to someone from an HFT or similarly performance-critical engineering environment
