Senior Software Engineer, C++

Flow Traders is looking for a Senior C++ Software Engineer to lead the next-generation architecture of market data and execution platforms for systematic trading. The role involves designing high-performance components, working closely with quants and traders, and optimizing for low latency.

• Lead the development and global rollout of our Core market data platform used across multiple focus areas (Market data, Research engineering, Pricing, Strategies).
• Design and implement high‑performance components for market data ingestion, normalization, and distribution, as well as its usage for order execution and strategy infrastructure.
• Develop tools and frameworks that enable quants and technical traders to build, tune, and deploy data‑driven systematic pricing and trading strategies.
• Own the full lifecycle of your components in a fast‑paced, iterative environment: deploy, monitor, profile, and optimize your code in production.
• Work closely with focus group engineers, quants, and technical traders to refine requirements, collect feedback, and iterate on the platform's design and implementation.

• BSc, MSc, or PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field.
• 7+ years of post‑graduation professional C++ software development experience.
• Experience building low‑latency market data ingestion, order execution, and algorithmic trading systems (proprietary trading industry preferred).
• Strong knowledge of algorithms and data structures.
• Experience in parallel, asynchronous, and multithreaded programming.
• Demonstrated ability to write clean, reliable, and highly scalable C++ code.
• Interest in extracting maximum performance from available hardware and software (CPU caches, memory layout, networking, etc.).
• Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non‑technical colleagues.
