Senior C++ Trading Systems Developer

Top multi-manager hedge fund based in New York is looking to hire a senior-level Trading Systems Lead Developer to work on a number of high impact initiatives. This position reports directly to the CTO.

The firm is continually expanding globally and trades across multiple asset classes and investment approaches. The ideal candidate should have 10+ years of experience developing systematic and/or algorithmic cross asset and high frequency (though not necessarily low latency) trading and order management systems. You will have previously been responsible for architecting event driven trading frameworks used in quantitative and systematic environments, be aware of regulatory expectations, and have led the efforts of a small high-performing team.

This role would suit an experienced industry professional who is looking for an environment uncluttered by legacy platforms and processes, and excited by the prospect of owning sophisticated systems from their relatively early stages and driving initiatives forward as the firm continues to scale.

What we’re looking for:

• Bachelor or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field
• Strong C++ and python skills (including multithreading)
• A demonstrated ability to lead a small team and manage projects
• Experience building intraday/high frequency trading systems
• Experience with the backtesting and simulation of automated trading strategies
• A strong understanding of straight-through-processing (STP) requirements and EMS/OMS architectures
• Cross asset trading experience with a particular focus on equities, credit and/or FX
