We're working with a trading firm in Sydney that builds its own technology from the ground up. No vendor platforms, no bloated layers, just engineers and traders solving hard problems together.
We are on the lookout for multiple C++ developers who enjoy squeezing performance out of systems where microseconds actually matter. If you've ever looked at code and thought "this could be faster", you'll probably like what they're doing.
A bit about the environment.
This is the kind of place where engineers sit next to traders, ideas turn into code quickly, and that code moves real money in global markets. The systems you'll work on are latency-sensitive trading infrastructure, execution systems, and market connectivity, written mostly in modern C++ and running on Linux.
It's not a giant corporate engineering department. The team is small, sharp, and practical. If something is slow, you fix it. If something can be designed better, you change it—no 14-step approval process.
What you'd actually be doing:
* Building and improving high-performance C++ systems that power automated trading
* Working on low-latency infrastructure where performance, memory and concurrency matter
* Collaborating directly with traders and researchers to turn ideas into production systems
* Tuning, profiling and refining systems until they're about as fast as physics allows
What they tend to look for:
* Strong C++ development experience, ideally on Linux
* A good understanding of performance, concurrency, and system design
* Curiosity about how things work under the hood (networks, kernels, CPUs, etc.)
* Someone who enjoys solving tricky engineering problems without needing ten meetings about it
A quick reality check.
This isn't the kind of job where you spend months debating architecture diagrams. The code you write gets used quickly. Sometimes the markets will tell you if it was a good idea.
The upside is you get to work with some very good engineers, solve interesting problems, and build systems that operate at ridiculous speeds.
If that sounds interesting, feel free to reach out. Worst case, we compare notes on the market. Best case, it turns into something pretty exciting.
