 <p>
  If your background isn&rsquo;t rooted in computer science and performance-critical C++, this role won&rsquo;t fit you.
 </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>
   What We&rsquo;re Looking For
  </strong>
  <em>
   (apply only if you meet these)
  </em>
 </p>
 <p>
  &bull; Strong modern C++ fundamentals with real systems-level experience
 </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; Engineering-led culture with direct collaboration between developers, quants, and traders

  <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.
