Senior C++ Engineer - Front Office Trading Desk - up to £250k

Job description

Bring your C++ expertise into a high-performing, tech-driven environment where you can have an immediate impact.

You’ll join a talented team building high-performance trading platforms that compete with the biggest players in the industry. This isn’t just another standard engineering position, but an opportunity to solve complex engineering challenges in a culture that values collaboration, quality, and autonomy.

As a senior member of the engineering team, you’ll play a key role in designing and delivering high-quality trading systems. The environment is flat, open, and supportive - you’ll be surrounded by engineers who share knowledge freely and work closely to build systems that perform at scale.

You’ll work primarily in C++ on Linux, improving and expanding the core trading platform. Experience in exchange connectivity, algorithmic trading systems, low latency, or other front-office electronic trading environments will be essential here.

While this is a senior-level role, there’s flexibility depending on your goals. Whether you want to stay hands-on or move toward technical leadership, there are clear paths for progression.

This is a flexible setup with excellent wellbeing initiatives, generous annual leave, and a strong focus on work/life balance.
