C++ Trading Systems Engineer | Dubai (On-site)

High-performance trading. Greenfield. Low-latency.


We’re building a new trading platform from the ground up, fast, stable, and built to scale across traditional and digital markets.

It’s a team of engineers obsessed with latency, efficiency, and clean design: no legacy systems, no red tape, just absolute ownership and real impact.

The system connects directly to NSE, BSE, MCX, CME, Gift City, and leading crypto exchanges, blending low-latency infrastructure with modern architecture.


If you like working close to the metal, solving complex problems, and writing C++ that actually moves markets, this is the kind of work that stays with you.


What You’ll Build

  • Core trading infrastructure in modern C++ (17/20)
  • Event-driven systems processing high-throughput market data
  • Exchange adapters across global and crypto venues
  • Multithreaded, latency-sensitive components tuned for performance
  • Full-stack performance profiling and optimisation


What You Bring

  • 2–5 years of professional C++ (11 or later) experience
  • Solid understanding of low-latency or real-time systems
  • Deep comfort with multithreading, networking, and memory management
  • Interest or experience in trading systems or exchange connectivity (FIX, CME, NSE, crypto APIs)
  • Precision, persistence, and a taste for clean, efficient code


Nice to Have

  • Hands-on with Linux, performance tools, and system-level tuning
  • Understanding of market data, order types, and trading lifecycles


Why Join

  • Build from zero, nothing inherited, everything matters
  • Direct line to traders and quants, ideas move fast
  • Tight team, zero politics
  • Base: Mumbai or Dubai (relocation supported)
  • Compensation: strong base, serious upside


If you want to work on systems that trade at scale in markets that never sleep, let’s talk.
