C++ Junior Dev

Our client is a leading global investment manager, and they are looking to hire a Software Engineer with strong experience in distributed systems.

Your Role:

• Bring your ambition and drive to a dynamic, fast-paced environment where your skills can make a real impact.
• Write clean, efficient, and scalable code, ensuring edge cases are handled and systems are thoroughly tested.
• Show off your critical thinking and problem-solving prowess as you tackle tough challenges and learn fast.
• Demonstrate your top-tier academic achievements or success in competitive programming (think Olympiads or global coding contests).
• Work in a high-performance, high-expectation team where excellence is the standard.

What We're Looking For:

• Strong programming skills in C++ or Rust-you're comfortable navigating complex systems and solving tough problems.
• A deep understanding of computer science principles, from OOP to algorithms and beyond.
• Solid grasp of multithreading, networking, and Linux internals-you're ready to optimize and build robust systems.
• Ideally, 1-3 years of professional experience in a programming role.
• An eagerness to start immediately and hit the ground running.

Bonus Points For:

• Experience in a fast-paced trading or quant environment (but it's not a deal-breaker if you haven't).
• Experience with low-latency, high-performance applications, especially in the microseconds-to-milliseconds range.
• Experience with Python for research and working with trading strategies in a quant dev role.
• Expertise in profiling and optimizing code with tools like perf or valgrind.
• Strong background in advanced math or statistics-think stats, probabilities, and complex algorithms.
• Knowledge of blockchain tech and DeFi, with hands-on experience in Solidity, JSON-RPC, MEV, or Solana.
• Familiarity with AWS and cloud-based infrastructure.
