Senior C++ Developer for a U.S. equities trading platform

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 matters:

This is not just another backend position. The platform is entering a business-critical phase: by December 2026, it must complete a migration to 23-hour trading mode. This is the team’s top priority. All other feature development is secondary to that goal and to maintaining critical support coverage from 4:00 AM New York time. That means this role is directly tied to one of the company’s most important technical and operational milestones.

Product context:

• Proprietary electronic trading platform used by 140–150 professional traders
• Focused exclusively on U.S. equities
• Built for sub-millisecond latency
• Processes high volumes of real-time market data
• Supports execution, order management, and risk routing workflows 

Core stack: C++ (~75%), C# (~20%), Python (~5%)
Architecture: Linux backend, Windows Desktop front end, colocated infrastructure in New Jersey

What you’ll work on:

• Build and optimize core components of the C++ trading platform
• Process and distribute high-volume real-time market data
• Profile and optimize latency, throughput, and memory usage
• Support systems with high-frequency updates and strict performance requirements
• Improve order management, execution, and risk routing

• Help the platform evolve toward 23-hour trading readiness 

   

Why join:

• Work on a real high-performance trading product
• Solve deep engineering challenges in latency, reliability, and scale
• Join a team at a critical product moment
• High ownership and strong technical impact
• Remote opportunity 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.
