Distributed Systems Software Engineer- Leading Quantitative Trading Firms - #2130994
eFinancialCareers
Date: 1 hour ago
City: London
Contract type: Full time
Work schedule: Full day
London | £200k-£500k+ TC | Quant Trading / Research Infrastructure
Some of the most interesting distributed systems problems in technology aren't currently sitting inside traditional Big Tech.
I'm working with several leading quantitative trading firms building infrastructure operating at extraordinary levels of scale, throughput, latency and reliability.
Trading firms need to process global real-time data, run enormous research workloads, maintain highly available trading systems and provide researchers with access to vast amounts of compute. Current public material across the sector describes everything from distributed state-machine replication to simulations running across tens of thousands of compute cores.
Depending on the team, you could work on:
Looking for:
Prior trading experience is not required for many of these teams. The firms I represent are particularly interested in engineers from Big Tech, infrastructure companies, databases, cloud platforms, HPC, developer infrastructure and other technically demanding environments.
The key difference versus many large technology companies is proximity to impact: small teams, significant ownership, extremely capable colleagues and systems where improvements in performance or reliability can have an immediate measurable effect.
Whilst we carefully review all applications, to all jobs, due to the high volume of applications we receive it is not possible to respond to those who have not been successful.
