About the company:
We're working with an HFT firm of 50+ people (ex-Optiver, Flow Traders, SIG, Tower, and other top trading firms). Their mission is to make markets more liquid and efficient for everyone through innovative strategies and state-of-the-art tech. The company has recently grown its senior trading and research team, and new strategies are now being built around machine learning and alpha research. The team is looking for a Quant Developer to be the bridge between quant research and production C++ code: turning strategy ideas into robust, latency-optimized implementations and owning strategy code end to end.
What You Will Do:
- Work directly with senior traders and quant researchers to translate models into production-ready C++ code.
- Design and implement new trading strategies with ultra-low latency in mind.
- Maintain and improve live strategies: refactoring, profiling, optimization.
- Own latency-critical components and reduce tick-to-trade times across the stack.
- Shorten the idea-to-production cycle by building cleaner handoffs between research and engineering.
Must-Have Skills:
- Extensive experience in modern C++ (17/20) in high-load, latency-sensitive systems.
- Background in high-frequency trading, with an understanding of trading strategies and financial markets.
- Solid grounding in financial mathematics, statistics, algorithms, and data structures.
- Experience with multithreading and concurrency, including lock-free data structures.
- Degree in a quantitative field: Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or Engineering.
- Experience with monitoring stacks: Prometheus, Grafana.
- Advanced level of English.
Nice-to-Have Skills:
- Experience with Python and Bash for automation, tooling, and diagnostics.
- Experience building strategy visualization tools for live P&L, latency, and behavior analysis.
- Experience with networking protocols: TCP/UDP, Multicast, FIX.
- Experience with AWS or other cloud platforms for backtesting and research tasks.
Work format and conditions:
- Remote or from Dubai (relocation support is available).
- Employment through a B2B contract for remote candidates.
- Annual bonus based on performance review results, as well as a retention bonus.
- Corporate workations in unique locations.
- Full ownership of trading strategy code with direct, measurable impact on trading performance and company revenue.
- Immediate collaboration with top-tier traders, quant researchers, and founders.
- Flat structure and a serious engineering culture.
