The successful PhD C++ candidate will be part of an exceptional group of coders working on large scale storage and retrieval solutions, advanced order management and execution algorithms.
You will work closely with researchers from both equities and futures teams debugging, improving and implementing infrastructure and research functionality, working on large and complex C++ programming issues.
The client offers a bonus to all employees as a result of the fund’s performance from day 1.
The environment is that of Facebook or Google, relaxed open with time to think and make the right decisions. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed with an open dress code. This is a role for techies, those who are motivated by the sharp end of technology and the possibility of making serious money doing something you are passionate about.

- A strong and confident communicator.
- Be comfortable working with other developers as well as statisticians and physicists from other research teams.
- Adaptable, with an ability to quickly assimilate new languages and techniques as required.
This role is for candidates who have a deep understanding of code not just the ability to read the language, expectations are high so if you are not a serious developer, don’t waste your time.
