Requirements:

Experience in developing high-performance trading strategies, particularly for market making in crypto or traditional markets.
Expertise in low-latency algorithms and portfolio risk management.
3+ years of experience with C++ on Linux.
Strong background in latency-optimized, distributed systems.
Ability to deliver reliable, clean code while rapidly implementing new features.
Willingness to provide on-call support for your systems.

Desirable Skills:

Knowledge of network programming (UDP, TCP, TLS, Websockets).
Experience with C++ profiling tools (e.g., Cachegrind, Valgrind).
Experience configuring and monitoring Linux systems.
Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS).

This role offers an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced environment, solving complex technical challenges in the crypto space.
