  • Significant experience developing high-availability systems in C++ and Python with very tight resource/latency constraints
  • Background in multi-threaded programming and a strong understanding of hardware/software interaction
  • Comfortable working 'under the hood' and skilled in performance tuning (applications, Linux, socket I/O, etc.) and troubleshooting
  • Experience working with C++ libraries like STL and Boost
  • Up-to-date knowledge of C++11/C++20 standards and opinions about them
Benefits

Bonus points if you have experience working in the trading industry or another ultra-low latency sensitive business that involves solving remarkably complex problems. Experience working with research teams and quants is also valuable. Full life-cycle software development utilizing exotic hardware/software architectures for ultra-low latency trading systems is highly desirable.
