About

TCG have partnered with a high-growth trading technology business building ultra‑low latency infrastructure, now looking to scale their C++ engineering team. This is a strong opportunity for engineers who care about performance, efficiency, and working on systems where latency genuinely matters.

Role

You’ll be focused on building and optimising core trading infrastructure, with a direct impact on system performance and execution speed.

Key Responsibilities

• Build new market connectivity and trading infrastructure
• Optimise high‑load, low‑latency C++ systems
• Continuously reduce latency across critical components
• Maintain and improve core platform performance and reliability
• Work closely with engineering, trading, and data teams

Requirements

• 3–5+ years experience in modern C++
• Background in low‑latency / high‑performance systems
• Strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, and system design
• Solid understanding of networking (REST, WebSockets, etc.)

Nice to Have

• Experience in trading, HFT, or financial systems
• FIX protocol exposure
• Experience with AWS, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana
• Python or Kafka exposure

Environment

• You’ll be working closely with both the Python team and trading operations in a highly collaborative setup
• They’re looking for someone who is proactive, detail‑oriented, and comfortable operating in a fast‑paced, performance‑driven environment

Why This Role Stands Out

• Direct exposure to real trading systems
• Work on genuinely latency‑sensitive infrastructure
• Strong engineering culture, flat structure
• Clear opportunity to grow within a high‑performing team
