Quant Developer

Leading Prop Trading Firm

London


Our client, a leading prop trading firm based in London, are looking for a Quant Developer to join their high-performance team.


As a quantitative developer, your aim is to improve the firm's trading stack in any way that will make its trading strategies more competitive and profitable. In a high-frequency trading environment, this often means improving the end-to-end latency of the trading platform or increasing the scalability and precision of execution of the trading strategies.


Requirements


Responsibilities

  • Develop low latency trading engine and strategy runtime
  • Develop market data distribution platform (internal binary protocols)
  • Develop and maintain exchange API connectivity and robust exchange connectors
  • Full automation around deployment and monitoring of a 24/7 trading system
  • Continuous profiling of trading system and strategy latency
  • Understand and reverse engineer exchange architectures


You will be part of a small development team that shares the responsibility of the whole trading stack. As you own the code, deployment and all tooling, you can rapidly and safely iterate on changes to the trading software.


Developers collaborate directly with traders and researchers, allowing for immediate reaction to market changes and fast iteration of live trading engines


Skill


  • Experience writing low-latency Java / C++ applications and architectures. HFT industry preferred but telecom and gaming industry experience also welcome
  • Ability to get the best performance out of application and networking stack of on-premise and cloud environment
  • Ability to benchmark, profile and trace full applications on Linux
  • Ability to find and resolve latency and throughput bottlenecks
  • Excited to pick up new skills to solve difficult problems (examples: eBPF, XDP, Intel PT)
  • The ideal profile has experience in the HFT industry combining software development and networking skills (TCP / UDP / multicast / WebSocket / HTTP).
  • While the firm is language agnostic, their current trading stack is mostly written in Java.
