Job description

Ever built something from scratch and seen it become the fastest thing in the market?

A London based trading tech firm is hiring C++ engineers to help build what they (and their clients) genuinely believe is the most advanced trading engine in crypto.

It’s low latency, ML integrated, and already live with some of the biggest institutional players in the space. No legacy, no noise, no middle layers, just a small team of serious engineers moving fast.

You’ll be solving real problems like:

- High-frequency execution across CeFi and DeFi

- TCA at microsecond resolution

- Smart routing, net settlement, and soon, crypto options (basically untouched territory)

You’ll be working side by side with someone who:

- Started coding at 5 years old

- Built the algo behind 75% of global derivatives flow at a top 3 bank ($100m P&L in 4 years)

- Got personally commended for his C++ by the founder of the language

4 days in, up to £200k base, 3 stage process.

If you get a kick out of shaving micros/nanos off a system and want to build something with zero compromises, apply.
