Job description

Low-Latency Software Engineer : C++/Java : £150-200k+

We’re partnering with a leading global trading firm to hire a Low‑Latency Software Engineer. This is a rare opportunity to work on ultra‑low‑latency systems that process market data and execute trades at sub‑millisecond speeds – the backbone of high‑frequency trading and algorithmic strategies.

The Role

  • Designing and implementing low‑latency, high‑throughput trading infrastructure in C++ and Java
  • Optimising network protocols, messaging systems, and concurrency models for minimal latency
  • Developing and maintaining real‑time data feeds, order routing, and execution engines
  • Profiling, benchmarking, and tuning performance‑critical systems down to the nanosecond
  • Collaborating with quants, traders, and other engineers to translate strategy requirements into production‑grade systems
  • Concurrency & Multithreading: data structures, atomics, memory ordering
  • Networking & Messaging: TCP/UDP, multicast, FIX, ZeroMQ, nanomsg
  • Performance & Profiling: Linux perf, cache line optimisation, latency benchmarking
  • Familiarity with Linux internals, kernel tuning
  • Optional: Python for tooling and scripting

Ideal Candidate

  • 3+ years of experience in low‑latency systems, trading tech, or high‑performance computing
  • Deep understanding of CPU architecture, memory hierarchies, and cache optimisation
  • Proven track record of building high‑throughput, deterministic systems
  • Strong problem‑solving mindset and attention to detail
  • Comfortable working in a high‑pressure, fast‑moving environment

Why Join?

  • Work on systems that operate at the cutting edge of low‑latency trading technology
  • Collaborate with elite engineers, quants, and traders from leading global markets
  • Competitive compensation with performance‑linked upside
  • Hybrid working in a technology‑first, engineering‑led culture
