C Software Engineer

C++ Software Engineer – Low Latency

Durlston Partners is working with a leading quantitative trading firm looking to hire exceptional C++ engineers to join its core engineering team.

You'll work on performance-critical systems at the heart of the trading stack, solving complex engineering problems where latency, throughput and reliability matter.

What you'll be working on:

• Designing and developing high-performance, low-latency systems in modern C++
• Optimising latency, memory usage and system performance
• Building highly concurrent and distributed systems
• Working closely with quantitative researchers and trading teams
• Improving the performance and scalability of core trading infrastructure
• Taking ownership of systems from design through to production

What we're looking for:

• Strong modern C++ development experience
• Excellent understanding of data structures, algorithms and computer science fundamentals
• Experience with multithreading, concurrency and performance optimisation
• Strong Linux knowledge
• Experience building performance-sensitive or highly scalable systems
• Background in HFT, quantitative trading or financial markets is beneficial, but not essential
• Strong academic background in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering or a related technical discipline

We're interested in engineers from both trading and high-performance technology environments. If you've worked on complex, performance-critical C++ systems and are interested in moving closer to quantitative trading, we'd be keen to speak.
