Summary ✨ AI‑Generated

A quantitative-finance engineering role focused on building the real-time distributed systems that connect investment strategies to live markets. You will design high-reliability services, integrate with external trading venues, and own production operations including observability, alerting, and incident response. The role suits an experienced C++ engineer comfortable taking end-to-end responsibility for critical systems.

Description

We're hiring on behalf of a quantitative investment firm for a role building and running the systems that connect its investment strategies to live markets. Correctness and uptime aren't nice-to-haves here — the team that builds these systems also carries the pager for them. You'll work closely with researchers and engineers across the business. The right candidate owns their systems end-to-end, stays level-headed when production issues hit, communicates clearly, and doesn't cut corners on detail.
