Job Description

Senior C++ Engineer – Trading Infrastructure

Location: Midtown NYC (Hybrid, 3 days on-site)

Compensation: $200K–$265K base + bonus (Total comp up to $320K–$350K)

Visa Sponsorship: H1B considered for exceptional candidates

A leading global financial firm is looking for a Senior C++ Engineer to join a mission-critical team responsible for building out a next-generation trading platform focused on equities and futures. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who thrives in a high-performance environment and enjoys driving complex systems from design to deployment.

What You’ll Do:

  • Design and develop scalable, fault-tolerant trading infrastructure in modern C++ (17/20).
  • Own projects end-to-end, from system architecture to hands-on coding and production support.
  • Work on trade flow systems that prioritize accuracy and uptime over speed—ideal for those with experience in execution platforms, not HFT.
  • Build and maintain robust messaging frameworks (e.g., Kafka, Solace, Tervela or similar).
  • Utilize your expertise in low-level networking and multithreading to drive system performance.
  • Lead and mentor a small team of engineers, helping shape the technical direction and upskill talent.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including quant and trading groups.
  • Contribute to product expansion efforts in new global markets.

What They're Looking For:

  • 7+ years of hands-on C++ development experience in production environments.
  • Background in building real-time or high-reliability systems—experience in trading or financial platforms is a strong plus.
  • Proficiency with messaging middleware and network-level programming.
  • Strong architectural instincts and a track record of delivering production systems.
  • Leadership qualities—either through mentorship, tech direction, or team management.

Why Join Them:

  • Opportunity to have a direct impact on the firm’s core trading capabilities.
  • High-ownership environment with technical autonomy and minimal bureaucracy.
  • Competitive compensation with upside potential.
  • Flexible on visa sponsorship for the right candidate.

All applications are handled with strict confidentiality.
