About the Role:

Our APAC C++ team sits at the intersection of trading and technology — we build and maintain the live trading system, risk infrastructure, back testing infrastructure and platforms for post-trade analysis. You'll work on problems that matter, ship code that runs in production, and collaborate directly with various businesses, operations, and research teams across the firm.

Responsibilities:

C++ is our primary language and it touches everything we do. The scope is wide:

Live trading system — Design, build, and maintain the systems that connect our strategies to the exchange, including market data handling, order entry, and the full order lifecycle in between. Ensure these systems are optimized for high performance while remaining robust.

Business-specific infrastructure — Build the trading platforms that support the firm's expansion into new businesses and markets. Deliver solutions that enable strategic initiatives and make trading more efficient and intelligent

Risk infrastructure — Design the modules that monitor performance in real-time and apply pre-trade and post-trade controls across trading systems components to reduce the chance of outsized losses
