Software Engineer - Up to £300,000 - Cambridge

Title : Software Engineer

Company : Proprietary HFT

Location : Cambridge

Pay : Up to £300,000 with huge potential to increase

Company :

A proprietary trading firm in Cambridge, specialising in the research and development of ultra-low-latency automated trading strategies, are looking for a Software Engineer with a demonstrable background of delivering complex projects from a concept through to delivery.

It is important that you have been involved in the entire software development life cycle (SDLC), as this dynamic role will require you to rapidly prototype - and ultimately move into production - highly complex, reliable and performant systems - oftentimes from scratch.

Role :

• Develop ultra-low-latency exchange connectivity layers using reliable C++ code
• Work closely with a close-knit team of Software Developers and Quant Traders
• Build mission-critical research systems from scratch
• This is an early-stage hire for the team. Much of your work will be completely greenfield. You will be involved in the designing, prototyping, testing and productionising new software.
