Our client focuses on financial trading software and technology. We are seeking a highly skilled Low Latency Quant Systems Developer to design, build, and optimize mid- to high-frequency trading systems for US equities and cryptocurrency markets .
Key Responsibilities :
Design & Develop
- Build ultra-low latency trading systems using modern C++ (C++17 / 20) and Python for US equities and crypto markets.
- Implement efficient market data handlers, order execution gateways, and risk control modules.
- Develop backtesting and simulation frameworks to support quant research and strategy development.
Performance Optimization
Profile and tune code for sub-millisecond performance and high throughput.Minimize network, kernel, and serialization overheads in critical execution paths.Optimize order routing and feed handling for multiple venues and protocols (e.g., FIX, native APIs, WebSocket).Partner with quant researchers to integrate trading strategies into production systems.Work closely with infrastructure teams on bare-metal deployments, low-latency networking, and time synchronization (e.g., PTP).Monitoring & Reliability
Build robust fault-tolerant systems with real-time logging, monitoring, and alerting.Ensure high availability and disaster recovery mechanisms.Work timing needs to cater to US trading hours (3pm to 12am Malaysia time).Key Requirements : Technical Skills
Expert-level C++17 / 20 and Python programming, including multi-threading, lockfree data structures, and template metaprogramming.Experience with low-latency optimizations (NUMA, kernel bypass, RDMA, DPDK, TCP / UDP tuning).Strong understanding of market microstructure for US equities and crypto venues.Familiarity with market data protocols (ITCH, OUCH, FIX, WebSocket APIs) and exchange-specific APIs.Experience with real-time data processing and event-driven architectures.Understanding of mid / high-frequency trading strategies, order types, and execution algorithms.Familiarity with risk management and position tracking in real time.Infrastructure & Tooling
Proficiency in Linux systems programming and network programming.Experience with build systems (CMake, Bazel), profilers, and debuggers (gperf, perf, valgrind).Knowledge of cloud-native and on-prem deployments is a plus.Education & Experience
Bachelor's / Master's in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.3-7 years of experience in low-latency trading systems or HPC environments.#J-18808-Ljbffr
