Quant Developer (HFT)

Quant Developer @ HFT Firm

I'm looking for a Quant Developer to join one of the leading players in high-frequency trading, with members from Optiver, Flow Traders, SIG, Tower, and other top trading companies. Their mission is to make markets more liquid and efficient for everyone using innovative strategies and state-of-the-art tech.

The firm’s researchers and traders are currently producing strategy ideas faster than the engineering team can implement them, and this role closes that gap.

⭐️ 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
- 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.
- Knowledge of AWS or other cloud platforms for backtesting and research tasks.

💎 Some context
- Remote with flexible hours, or Dubai with full relocation support.
- Annual performance bonus, retention bonus, and corporate workations in unusual locations twice a year.
- Seven years in business, 700bn+ USD traded, 52 people in the team.
- The firm’s moving into ML and alpha strategies they've never run before, so it's greenfield rather than maintaining someone else's signals.
