About the Role

The Company is in search of a Head of Electronic Trading Systems, a pivotal role that demands a visionary technical leader to take charge of the global execution and connectivity ecosystem. The successful candidate will be responsible for defining the blueprint of how trading strategies interact with various exchanges, leading an elite engineering team to build a high-speed market access gateway, and standardizing the ingestion of real-time liquidity and order execution across different asset classes and geographies. This role requires a deep experience in architecting core execution components within a high-frequency or quantitative trading environment, mastery of C++ with a focus on low-latency optimization, and a proven track record in managing specialized engineering teams to deliver mission-critical trading infrastructure. Applicants for the Head of Electronic Trading Systems position at the company must possess an intimate understanding of exchange protocols and the technical nuances of global market connectivity. The role offers architectural autonomy, a premier technical culture, and the opportunity to make a mission-critical impact on the firm's core engine. The ideal candidate will have the ability to lead the technical expansion into new markets and asset classes, particularly across North America and the APAC region. The company values a clean-slate engineering philosophy and is seeking a leader who can operate without legacy constraints to maintain a dominant edge in global electronic trading. A strong background in C++ programming, with a focus on low-latency optimization, hardware-level tuning, and efficient concurrency, is essential for this position.
