Low-Latency C++ Developer (HFT)

Impax Recruitment

We are looking for a senior C++ engineer to build and optimize latency-critical trading systems in a high-performance proprietary trading environment. You will work on core components such as market data handling, order routing, and execution logic, with a relentless focus on determinism, throughput, and reliability under real market conditions. The role involves close collaboration with traders and other engineers, ownership of production systems, and continuous performance tuning across the stack, from application design down to OS, memory, and networking behavior. Strong modern C++ on Linux is essential, along with hands‑on experience in low‑latency or high‑performance systems; prior exposure to electronic trading infrastructure is a strong plus.
