Quant Hedge Fund | Staff Software Engineer
Selby Jennings is partnered with a global quantitative hedge fund that creates and implements investment strategies across several asset classes and international marketplaces
Our client is looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join its front office development team to build out next generation trading platforms. This is very similar to building out a greenfield real-time ads system at Google, as you'd get to implement low latency, high throughput C++ as part of the most profitable team within the firm.
Potential Projects:
- Write low latency, high throughput C++ code
- Implement mission critical trading infrastructure
- Work with portfolio managers to implement new trading systems (similar to directly collaborating with project managers or customers)
- Adapt existing systems to our next generation trading platform
Requirements:
- 6+ years of experience in software engineering at a prominent technology firm
- Experience with modern C++ (C++17/20, etc)
- B.S. or higher in Computer Science or relevant degree
Nice to haves:
- In-depth knowledge of network programming and distributed computing
- C++ template meta programming knowledge
- Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms and Linux/Unix fundamentals
- Finance experience
