Software Engineer (C ) - HFT

I'm working with an elite HFT firm in Dubai hiring a strong mid-level C++ Engineer to join their core trading infrastructure team.

• Designing and implementing high-performance, low-latency trading systems in modern C++
• Optimising the full trading stack for maximum throughput and reliability
• Architecting scalable solutions for market connectivity, order execution, and risk management
• Working directly on core infrastructure - your code has a direct line to trading performance

What they're looking for:

• Strong C++ development experience - strong STL, memory management, and concurrency
• Strong academic background in Computer Science or Engineering
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, network protocols, and OS internals
• HFT or prop trading experience desirable - but world-class engineers from any background considered
