HFT C++ Engineer
Fionics
Job Description
For C++ engineers with 3+ years in low-latency systems at a live HFT or quant shop.
\n \nIf you're a strong engineer at a big firm, you probably know the pattern:
\n \n– Inherited systems you can't fundamentally change.
\n– Three layers between your code and production.
\n– A queue of approvals before you can ship.
\n– Comp tied to politics, not output.
\n \nThis isn't that.
\n \nThe firm
\nA proprietary HFT firm in New York. ~40 people. Profitable for over a decade. Built quietly, on purpose. Everything in-house. PnL per person well above industry norm and still growing.
\n \nThe work
\nExecution engines, market data infrastructure, full-stack performance engineering on systems that trade live. Trading, research, and engineering in the same room. Your code in production in days, not quarters.
\n \nYou'll get
\nReal ownership from day one. A small team with a high bar. Comp highly competitive at every level.
\n \nNew York. On-site.
