hirify.global is a company focused on the future of crypto, creating and implementing advanced trading strategies.

What you will do

• Collaborate with quant researchers to translate models into robust, production-grade C++ implementations.
• Design and optimize high-frequency trading strategies with a focus on latency and throughput.
• Profile, refactor, and improve performance across live strategies and critical components.
• Own and optimize tick-to-trade paths to ensure minimal latency.
• Build and maintain clean handoffs between research prototypes and production systems.
• Monitor live trading strategies using observability tools like Grafana and Prometheus.
• Work closely with the C++ Core and Trading teams to identify and deliver engineering improvements.

Requirements

• 4–6 years of professional C++ experience (C++17 or newer) in performance-critical systems.
• Strong understanding of multithreading, concurrency, and lock-free data structures.
• Solid grounding in algorithms, data structures, and systems-level programming.
• Proven experience in latency-sensitive environments, ideally trading systems or similar.
• Familiarity with modern software development practices: profiling, CI/CD, and code instrumentation.
• Experience monitoring and debugging live systems using observability stacks (Grafana, Prometheus).
• Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or another quantitative field.

Nice to have
