C++ Developer - Strategy Implementation & Alpha Signal Engineering We are currently working with a leading global quant fund that's scaling its Strategy Implementation and Development Desk - a high-impact team operating at the intersection of quantitative research and real-time execution. They are seeking high-performance C++ developers to work on signal implementation, execution algorithms, and real-time alpha-capturing models. This is a speed-critical environment where your code directly impacts trading outcomes. Responsibilities: • Design and implement real-time trading strategies and execution algorithms in C++20, leveraging GCC 12., • Collaborate closely with quantitative researchers to translate models into production-ready code., • Optimise systems for ultra low latency, throughput, and determinism., • Monitor and improve live trading performance, identifying bottlenecks and tuning systems. Requirements: • Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++17/20) with a deep understanding of performance optimisation., • Experience with GCC 12 or similar toolchains that support C++20 features., • Solid understanding of low-latency systems, multithreading, and memory management., • Background in real-time systems, high-frequency trading, or performance-critical applications.
