Company Profile

We are seeking a Quant Systems Engineer with a strong Computer Science background and deep expertise in C++ to build, optimize, and maintain our proprietary quantitative trading infrastructure. You will work directly with our quant researchers and data engineers to design high-performance systems for backtesting, execution, and real-time data processing.

This is a core engineering role within a next-generation AI-driven quant fund — ideal for developers passionate about performance, systems architecture, and bridging research with live trading.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain C++ backtesting and live trading engines with an emphasis on speed, accuracy, and robustness.
  • Build low-latency data ingestion, event handling, and execution pipelines for equities and other asset classes.
  • Implement and optimize multi-threaded, memory-efficient systems for real-time processing of market data.
  • Collaborate with the quant team to integrate strategy logic, factor generation modules, and analytics layers.
  • Work closely with the data infrastructure team to design scalable interfaces between Python, C++, and ClickHouse/PostgreSQL layers.
  • Conduct profiling, performance tuning, and code optimization on critical trading components.
  • Develop tools for system monitoring, simulation diagnostics, and risk checks.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • Strong C++ development skills (C++17 or newer) with solid understanding of STL, templates, and memory management.
  • Experience with multi-threading, concurrency, and low-level system optimization.
  • Familiarity with Python for scripting or integration purposes.
  • Working knowledge of Linux systems, shell scripting, and version control (Git).
  • Experience with market data structures, FIX protocols, or trading APIs is a strong plus.
  • Bonus: exposure to Linux, ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, or Kafka, and interest in quantitative finance or algorithmic trading.

What You'll Gain

  • Hands-on exposure to cutting-edge trading infrastructure powering real capital.
  • Opportunity to design systems used by AI-driven multi-agent research pipelines.
  • Experience in performance-critical C++ engineering in a real trading environment.
  • Direct mentorship from senior quant developers and fund technologists.
