EUREX - Direct Market Access – C++ - High Frequency Trading

Interesting opportunity to join a leading proprietary trading firm.

Proprietary Trading is an area within finance where a company trades its own cash as opposed to investors. As they don’t have investors – they don’t pay a fee to anybody and therefore the rewards for employees are high.

Our client operates within the high frequency trading space, using sophisticated and complex methods to trade securities at fast speeds in order to unlock value in areas not possible with the naked eye.

Headquartered in Chicago and top three within equities, an opportunity exists in their London office for a C++ developer with connectivity experience (ideally EUREX), to build out the platforms to facilitate high frequency trading.

You will be coding frameworks to provide direct access to the markets for the firm. You do not need high frequency trading experience but you must have had exposure to high performance computing concepts. In order to be considered for this role, you must have the following experience:

-A minimum of 3 years coding experience in C++ within a UNIX environment.

-Knowledge of high performance computing.

-Experience in connectivity with exchanges, ideally EUREX.

-An MSc (or equivalent) in Computer Science
