HFT C++ Engineer (New York City Metropolitan Area)

For C++ engineers with 3+ years in low-latency systems at a live HFT or quant shop.

If you're a strong engineer at a big firm, you probably know the pattern:

– Inherited systems you can't fundamentally change.

– Three layers between your code and production.

– A queue of approvals before you can ship.

– Comp tied to politics, not output.

This isn't that.
