Requirements:
You code regularly in modern C++ and enjoy pushing performance boundaries.
Strong understanding of multithreading, memory management, IPC, STL/Boost, and network/socket programming.
Experience with performance-critical systems - ideally low‑latency, real‑time, or high‑throughput environments.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate with quants, researchers, and other engineers.
Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related; MSc/PhD welcome and highly valued.
(Bonus) Strong mathematics background - competitions, Olympiads, or similar are a plus but not required.
