Senior C++ Developer
$$$$
We’re looking for a Senior C++ Developer to join a team building a high-performance electronic trading platform for the U.S. equities market.
This role is ideal for an engineer with strong experience in:
- modern C++ (C++17/20)
- high-volume real-time data processing
- high-frequency / low-latency systems
- Linux backend development
- Experience in trading, market data, or other latency-sensitive domains is highly valued
Why this role is interesting:
This is not a typical backend position. You’ll work on a platform where:
- sub-millisecond latency matters
- systems process large volumes of real-time market data

Architecture: Linux backend, Windows Desktop front end, colocated infrastructure in New Jersey
What you’ll do:
- Build and optimize core components of a C++ trading platform
- Process and distribute high-volume real-time market data
- Improve order management, execution, and risk routing
- Work on systems with high-frequency updates and strict performance requirements
- Profile and optimize latency, throughput, and memory usage
- Support system stability and resolve production issues in a mission-critical environment
What we’re looking for:
- 5+ years of professional C++ experience
- Strong expertise in multithreaded, high-performance systems
- Experience with real-time / high-throughput data processing
- Strong knowledge of Linux, networking, and performance optimization
- Experience with distributed systems
- Good English for professional communication
Strong plus:
- Trading / market data experience
- OMS / EMS / risk systems exposure
- Multicast networking
- C# and/or Python
- U.S. equities knowledge
Why join:
- Work on a real low-latency trading product
- Solve deep engineering challenges in performance and reliability
- Join a strategically important team buildout
- High ownership, strong technical impact
- Fully remote across Ukraine and Europe
Interested?
If you’re strong in C++, real-time systems, and high-volume processing, we’d love to hear from you.
