Our environment of learning and collaboration allows us to solve some of the world’s hardest problems, together. As a small firm, we remain nimble and hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity, ingenuity, and effort.

You will be responsible for building, maintaining, and supporting the platform that makes this possible.

  • Conduct thorough testing and participate in comprehensive code reviews.
  • Implement interfaces with advanced networking hardware (FPGA, kernel-bypassing drivers)
  • Demonstrate proactive decision-making and self-direction, while recognizing when to seek guidance.
  • Research platform performance improvements

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience with developing HFT platforms and trading systems
  • Experience working with C/C++, especially modern C++ in a Linux environment
  • Experience in profiling and optimization
  • Understanding the principles of OOP, Multithreading, and IPC
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field
  • Attention to detail, ability to work to very high standards, and critical mindset
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment
  • An attitude of doing, building, and learning

Nice to have:

  • Knowledge of operating systems, kernel-level understanding of device-level support in Linux.
  • Knowledge of Financial Instruments (Stocks, ETFs, Futures, Options).
  • Experience with various market data and order entry protocols (ITCH, OUCH, PITCH, CME MDP)
  • Genuine interest in finance, trading, and modern electronic markets

Benefits

  • Competitive rates of pay.
  • Paid time off (5 weeks).
  • Coverage of health insurance costs.
  • Office lunches.
  • Discretionary bonus system. 

Annual base salary range of $175,000 to $250,000. Pay (base and bonus) may vary depending on job-related skills and experience.

Our motivation:

We are a company committed to staying at the forefront of technology. Our team is passionate about continual learning and improvement. With no external investors or customers, we are the primary users of the products we create, giving you the opportunity to make a real impact on our company's growth.
