About the role
Design and implement a clean-slate HFT execution platform, including sub-microsecond order routing and zero-allocation market data pipelines. Collaborate with quant researchers to integrate alpha models into live markets using deterministic execution and low-level hardware acceleration. Requires deep hands-on experience building production-critical, latency-sensitive C++ software within HFT or electronic trading environments on Linux. Candidates must have strong systems-level engineering judgment and expertise in mechanical sympathy, including CPU caches and lock-free concurrency.
