📍 Fully Remote (European team) | Compensation: base salary + profit-sharing Salary: from 10000$ We build next‑generation high‑frequency trading infrastructure. No CRUD. Pure low‑level optimization, hardware‑near coding, and extreme networking.
WHAT YOU'LL DO: — Design and optimize HFT trading engines in C++ (17/20) with <10 µs latency targets — Implement Market Making strategies (spread management, inventory control, real‑time risk) — Build and maintain distributed systems handling massive market data feeds — Tune the entire network stack for deterministic, ultra‑low latency
MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS: — HFT: Proven experience building trading engines or market data ingestion systems in a production HFT environment — AWS: Deep hands‑on expertise with EC2 (C/P/Z instances, EBS‑optimized, CPU Pinning, Placement Groups, VPC), and low‑latency cloud deployments — Market Making: Production experience designing and running automated market‑making algorithms (crypto or traditional equities) — Networking: Expert‑level understanding of TCP/IP, UDP multicast (PIM/IGMP), socket buffer tuning, and congestion control — Kernel Bypass: Mandatory production experience with Solarflare / OpenOnload or Mellanox VMA / DPDK — Protocol Design: Building binary application‑level protocols (SBE, custom FIX engines, zero‑copy serialization) — Distributed Systems: Low‑latency clustering, shared memory, lock‑free IPC, deterministic behaviour under load — C++: Modern C++ (17/20), multithreading, lock‑free data structures, profiling (perf, VTune, Intel PCM)
NICE TO HAVE: — Experience with crypto exchanges (Binance, Bybit, OKX) via WebSocket + UDP feeds — DPDK / XDP / AF_XDP — Order book microstructure and market dynamics
WE OFFER: — Fully remote (European timezone alignment) — Real engineering at the intersection of maths, algorithms, and finance — Profit‑sharing program – you benefit directly from the strategies you build — Minimal bureaucracy, maximum ownership and impact
