C++ Software Engineer – Low Latency
Durlston Partners is working with a leading quantitative trading firm looking to hire exceptional C++ engineers to join its core engineering team.
You’ll work on performance-critical systems at the heart of the trading stack, solving complex engineering problems where latency, throughput and reliability matter.
What you’ll be working on:
- Designing and developing high-performance, low-latency systems in modern C++
- Optimising latency, memory usage and system performance
- Building highly concurrent and distributed systems
- Working closely with quantitative researchers and trading teams
- Improving the performance and scalability of core trading infrastructure
- Taking ownership of systems from design through to production
What we’re looking for:
- Strong modern C++ development experience
- Excellent understanding of data structures, algorithms and computer science fundamentals
- Experience with multithreading, concurrency and performance optimisation
- Strong Linux knowledge
- Experience building performance-sensitive or highly scalable systems
- Background in HFT, quantitative trading or financial markets is beneficial, but not essential
- Strong academic background in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering or a related technical discipline
We’re interested in engineers from both trading and high-performance technology environments. If you’ve worked on complex, performance-critical C++ systems and are interested in moving closer to quantitative trading, we’d be keen to speak.
