  </strong>
  Top-tier for genuinely strong C++ engineers
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  A quantitative trading firm is building a greenfield trading platform targeting microsecond-level performance across traditional and digital markets. Engineering here is systems-first: market data ingestion at scale, deterministic execution paths, and exchange connectivity written from scratch for speed and reliability.
 </p>
 <p>
  If your background isn&rsquo;t rooted in computer science and performance-critical C++, this role won&rsquo;t fit you.
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  <strong>
   What You&rsquo;ll Build
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Trading components engineered for microsecond-level performance
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Direct connectivity to US equities, Indian markets, and major crypto exchanges
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Event-driven pipelines that process and act on high-frequency market data
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Multithreaded, lock-free systems optimized for consistency under burst load
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Next-generation infra including FPGA-accelerated execution paths

  <strong>
   Your Work Will Include
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Implementing core trading engine components in modern C++ (17/20)
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Building exchange gateways for traditional and crypto venues
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Profiling and optimizing hot paths using CPU-level tools and microbenchmarks
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Improving data throughput, latency, and stability across the system
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Working closely with quants and senior engineers to deploy latency-critical strategies
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  <strong>

 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or another rigorous technical discipline
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Hands-on work with low-latency, real-time, or performance-critical systems
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Practical experience with crypto exchanges: market data, order flow, throttles, WebSocket/REST
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Deep understanding of multithreading, memory models, and concurrency primitives
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Ability to diagnose and improve performance through profiling and measurement
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Experience with FIX or direct exchange connectivity is a strong plus
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  <strong>
   Why This Team
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  You&rsquo;ll build foundational systems that directly impact trading performance. This is true ownership: no legacy, no bureaucracy, and no distance between what you build and what gets traded.
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  <strong>
   Perks &amp; Growth
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Infrastructure built for microseconds, with FPGA acceleration rolling out next year
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Clear pathway to senior engineering or technical leadership roles
 </p>
 <p>

  &bull;
  <strong>
   High-upside opportunity
  </strong>
  : early involvement in a platform undergoing serious scale
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  If you build systems where a microsecond matters and enjoy pushing hardware and software to their limits, this is a role where your engineering ability actually changes outcomes.

</div></div></div><div><div><div><p><b>Senior Data Engineer &ndash; ML Quant Fund &ndash; UAE &ndash; up to $250,000 USD</b></p>
<p>
Opportunities for Data Engineers to do truly impactful work in the UAE remain scarce, with most buy-side firms keeping their core tech teams in London, New York, or Singapore. This team rewards people directly for the impact they make, with performance bonuses that genuinely reflect contribution.</p>
<p>
Although the team prefer collaborating in person, the office is conveniently located. The most sought-after neighbourhoods in Abu Dhabi are only a 10&ndash;20 minute drive away. No tube strikes, no packed commutes, and no paying for a season ticket just to stand. A cab typically costs around &pound;8 one way.</p>
<p>
It&rsquo;s also a place where people stay. Staff turnover is well below industry average, and most of the team have relocated from top buy-side firms across New York, London, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Paris.</p>
<p><b>
What you&rsquo;ll do</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Acquire and ingest datasets from various sources to meet business needs.</li>
<li>Design, build and manage robust data pipelines and infrastructure to ensure high data quality and reliability.</li>
<li>Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand business objectives and translate them into technical solutions.</li>
<li>Partner closely with quantitative researchers and investment analysts to ensure data products meet research requirements.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>What you&rsquo;ll need</b></p>
<ul>
<li>6+ years&rsquo; experience in Data/Quant Engineering</li>
<li>Python, SQL</li>
<li>Modern data warehousing (Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, etc.)</li>
<li>Apache Airflow or similar</li>
<li>Terraform</li>
<li>Cloud experience (AWS, Azure, GCP)</li>
<li>Familiarity with common financial datasets (Bloomberg, FactSet, S&amp;P Global, Macrobond, Finaeon, MSCI, etc.)</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Why move to the UAE?</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Ranked among the top 5 safest cities in the world</li>
<li>An emerging global hub for buy-side finance</li>
<li>Top international schools with school fees covered by the client for your family</li>
<li>Year-round sunshine; option to work from your home country in July/August</li>
<li>Significant tax advantages</li>
