London Area, United Kingdom Bourne Search Ltd Full time

C++ Engineer - Contract - £700-£1000

We're looking for a hands-on VP-level C++ engineer to join a top-tier exchange building out their next-gen low-latency trading and market data platform. This is a greenfield project to add options trading capabilities – a rare chance to shape core infrastructure at scale.

What you'll be doing:

  • Writing ultra-low latency C++ code, tuning for performance and efficiency.
  • Working alongside other VP-level C++ developers on mission-critical systems.
  • Driving a test-first strategy (TDD, BDD, automation frameworks).
  • Building out options and derivatives functionality on a high-performance trading stack.

What we're looking for:

  • Deep C++ expertise – you live and breathe performance optimization.
  • Senior / VP-level engineer in your current shop.
  • Solid track record with automated testing in production environments.
  • Low-latency, high-throughput systems experience.
  • Financial markets knowledge (options/derivatives) is a plus, not a must.

Why this role?

  • Greenfield build with immediate impact.
  • Elite team of senior engineers.
  • High visibility, high reward.
