C++ Software Engineer – Low-Latency Trading Systems (Amsterdam)
We are seeking a talented and pragmatic C++ Software Engineer to join our elite low-latency trading infrastructure team based in Amsterdam. In this role, you'll work closely with hardware engineers and the FPGA team to push the boundaries of speed and efficiency in high-frequency trading systems.
As part of a high-impact team, you'll be responsible for designing and implementing performance-critical components of our ultra-low-latency trading stack. You will collaborate across disciplines—including systems, networking, and hardware acceleration—to develop software that runs at nanosecond scale and directly influences trading decisions in real-time.
What You’ll Do :
- Build and optimize latency-sensitive C++ applications for high-frequency trading.
- Collaborate with FPGA and hardware engineers to co-design hardware / software interfaces.
- Develop low-level components such as network drivers, tick-to-trade pipelines, and serialization protocols.
- Continuously benchmark, profile, and tune performance across the full system stack.
- Contribute to the design of highly concurrent systems and real-time decision engines.
About You :
Expert-level C++ (C++17 / 20 preferred) with a deep understanding of systems programming.Solid experience with low-latency systems, performance tuning, and multithreading.Strong familiarity with Linux, networking (TCP / UDP, multicast), and kernel-level tuning.Prior exposure to co-development with FPGA teams or hardware / software integration is a strong plus.You thrive in a fast-paced environment and have a results-driven mindset.Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.Why Join :
Work on some of the fastest trading systems in the world.Collaborate with a world-class team of engineers and quants.Competitive compensation with relocation support and generous benefits.Autonomy, impact, and cutting-edge technology in a flat, agile environment.If you're passionate about building ultra-fast systems and eager to work at the intersection of software and hardware, we'd love to hear from you.
