Trading Systems Engineer (C++ / Low Latency) Mumbai or Dubai


We’re building a new trading platform from scratch, fast, stable, and built to scale.

If you like working at the system level, shaving off microseconds, and writing modern C++ that powers real trades, you’ll fit right in.


We’re a small, highly technical team creating a low-latency, event-driven trading system with direct connectivity to major exchanges NSE, BSE, MCX, CME, and Gift City.

It’s a greenfield build, not legacy maintenance, real ownership, real impact.


What you’ll do

  • Build the core trading infrastructure in modern C++ (17/20)
  • Design event-driven architectures to process high-throughput market data
  • Develop exchange adapters for Indian and global markets
  • Solve tough problems in multithreading, concurrency, and performance tuning
  • Profile and optimise latency across every layer of the stack


What we’re looking for

  • 3–5 years of C++ development experience (C++11 or later)
  • Strong grasp of low-latency or real-time systems
  • Comfort with multithreading, memory management, and networking
  • Experience or curiosity in trading systems or exchange connectivity (FIX, NSE, BSE, MCX, CME, Gift City)
  • A practical, hands-on approach to debugging and optimisation


Bonus points if you have

  • Familiarity with market data, order types, or trading lifecycles
  • Experience with Linux systems or performance profiling tools


Why join

  • Build, don’t maintain — everything starts with a blank slate
  • Direct access to traders and decision-makers — no long chains
  • Learn fast, ship fast — small team, big responsibility
  • Locations: Mumbai or Dubai (relocation supported)
  • Compensation: Competitive, with strong growth potential


If you’re a systems engineer who loves C++ and cares about performance, this is your chance to build something real from day one.
