Our ETF Market Making desk is building the next generation of trading systems to compete across European and US venues. We are looking for a Senior C++ Quantitative Developer to work at the core of these systems - designing, building, and delivering critical components that directly drive pricing, execution, and risk across thousands of instruments and multiple exchanges.

You will be a key member of the Quant Dev team, working closely with Quant Researchers and Quant Traders. Your contribution will have a direct and immediate impact on the desk's success.

• Design and optimize components across the trading engine, research platform, and analytics infrastructure
• Build, review, and deliver core trading components into production independently - pricing, execution, risk, and multi-exchange infrastructure
• Mentor junior developers and solve hard technical challenges critical to the desk's success
• Work closely with traders and researchers to understand requirements and provide timely feedback and solutions
• Design and optimize C++ systems for trading, market data, and infrastructure - profile and fine-tune performance across CPU, cache, and memory layers

• 3+ years of experience in performance-critical C++ (C++17 or newer)
• In-depth understanding of what is happening behind the abstractions - CPU, memory, OS, network
• Experience with distributed systems and performance profiling
• Proficient with AI and agentic coding tools
• Ability and willingness to take full ownership of the work - from idea to production delivery
• Strong communication skills in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
• Exchange protocol experience (FIX, ITCH/OUCH, PITCH, BOE) is desirable
• Experience in a quantitative trading environment is highly desirable
