Lead GUI Software Engineer

Job Description

The Company

One of the most exciting and best performing systematic multi-strat quant funds of the last decade; who have 15x'd their AUM, 8x'd their headcount and opened multiple new offices in under 10 years while consistently delivering double-digit returns. They are truly diverse (not your typical HFT) trading everything from traditional equities to High-Frequency FX, longer-term commodities and even Crypto. The management team have been together through multiple iterations, building very successful businesses along the way so it has a real mature startup feel and opportunity to make an impact, but with none of the risk.

The Role

This is an opportunity to own the build of a suite of brand new highly performant native GUIs that will be deployed cross-platform to every area of the business; built using C++ and WxWidgets (writing directly against Win32). Currently, they have a mixture of WebUI's (ReactJS) and old-fashioned Windows UI's that can't deal with the volume of data and latency requirements presenting a huge technical challenge. Until now, this project has been operating in stealth mode and consists of some sketched-out designs and basic prototypes. However, they are now looking for an expert to come in, lead the project and drive adoption across the firm, making a huge impact to the entire business along the way; this is truly greenfield.

More broadly, you will be part of the core team that is tasked with the build-out of their high-performance, low-latency, cross-asset infrastructure aligned with both quant research and the production trading environment. Working directly with the chief architect, you will work on a breadth of different projects across the stack over time as the business evolves. Their overall tech stack includes a lot of work on C++/Linux, a number of Python applications plus some C#, React, AWS, FPGA and a bunch of other technologies across the functions. It's truly cross-asset and it will enable you to develop a huge amount of knowledge on how the world of systematic trading & quant finance works. There are no restrictions about where and how the role can evolve...

What's in it for you?

Beyond the above... well, they don't micromanage and give a lot of autonomy to the engineers; you would own the direction of the project and collaborate with cross-functional teams, including traders, quants, technology and operations. As such, you would have a big say in the future technical direction of the platform itself. They encourage people to get outside of their comfort zone, the CTO's exact words: "If the team do not learn new languages, technologies and things beyond what they could have imagined then I have failed them".

They offer great compensation packages (6 figures with bonuses that can be 100% +), opportunities to invest in the fund (which is rare for non-traders) and chances to learn new technologies (as mentioned above). They offer a flexible hybrid remote working model, opportunities for internal mobility across the teams/geographically and they have a genuine work/life balance and epic culture.

What are they looking for?

They are looking for an experienced C++ GUI Developer who has worked on trading UIs previously and has the following knowledge:

  • Solid track record of modern C++ development, with demonstrated experience using wxWidgets or MFC for GUI development.
  • Appreciation for good GUI design and passion for performance.
  • Good grasp of Linux as an O/S.
  • Deep understanding of software design principles, data structures, and algorithms.
  • Knowledge of trading systems & order lifecycle.
