Low-Latency C++ Platform Engineer for Trading Systems
Hunter Bond
Role: C++ Platform Engineer Client: Top-tier quantitative trading firm Compensation: Competitive (Not Specified) Location: NYC (Hybrid) Overview We’re working with a top-tier quantitative trading firm to hire a C++ engineer who wants to work close to the metal on systems that directly power live trading and research. This role is about owning and evolving a high-performance C++ platform used by elite researchers and trading teams. Think low-latency, careful memory management, and design decisions where performance actually matters — not abstract benchmarks. The Role This is core platform C++, not application-level glue code. Your work underpins research and production trading systems, and you’ll be optimising real workloads used by multiple teams globally. No finance knowledge required — strong engineering thinking wins here. Key responsibilities include:
- Design and maintain a high-performance C++ computational platform
- Push performance boundaries: latency, throughput, memory efficiency
- Build scalable, reusable components that multiple teams rely on
- Work closely with researchers to turn ideas into production-grade systems
- Keep performance guarantees intact as the platform grows
- Strong C++ experience with a focus on performance-critical systems
- Background in computer science (MSc / PhD or equivalent depth)
- Experience outside academia solving real production problems
- Low-level optimisation and profiling
- Compiler concepts, type systems, or language tooling
- Writing code that other engineers depend on
- Experience with DSLs, compilers, or runtime systems
- Rust or Python alongside C++
- Engineers surrounded by other exceptionally strong engineers
- Minimal bureaucracy, no ego-driven hierarchy
- Hybrid working, standout NYC office, excellent benefits
- Long-term investment in both people and technology
