About the role
Build core components of a new low-latency equities and ETF platform, focusing on market data, order management, and execution. Drive extreme performance optimizations from the memory layout to the networking stack to reduce latency to nanoseconds. Requires 3+ years of experience with modern C++ and a strong background in building low-level systems like kernels, compilers, or distributed systems. Candidates must be comfortable with 'close to the metal' programming and possess elite problem-solving skills.
