C++ Storage Systems Engineer

Acquire Me

C++ Storage Systems Engineer | Quantitative Trading | New York / Chicago

We are working with a leading quantitative trading firm looking for a C++ engineer to work on high-performance storage and data infrastructure.

The team builds systems responsible for moving, storing and accessing large volumes of data with extremely demanding requirements around latency, throughput and reliability. This is a strong fit for engineers coming from high-performance storage, database or distributed systems teams in Big Tech or similarly technical environments.

What you’ll work on:

  • Design and build high-performance storage systems in modern C++
  • Optimize I/O, memory usage, concurrency and data access paths
  • Work on distributed storage and large-scale data infrastructure
  • Profile systems and identify performance bottlenecks across the stack
  • Solve problems involving caching, filesystems, networking and CPU/memory performance

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong professional C++ experience
  • Excellent systems fundamentals across Linux, concurrency, memory and networking
  • Experience with storage engines, databases, filesystems or distributed storage
  • Strong understanding of performance optimization and profiling
  • Background from a high-calibre engineering environment

Experience in finance is not required . Engineers from companies such as Google, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, NVIDIA and other systems-focused organizations are particularly relevant.
