Lead Developer – Trading Systems (C++) - Systematic Crypto Arm - London - Up to £650k TC - WFH


My client, a tier 1 proprietary trading firm with a three-decade track record in global markets, is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the systematic crypto arm of its high-frequency trading business. The firm operates across a broad spectrum of asset classes, including fixed income, equities, FX, commodities, and digital assets, designing and deploying sophisticated strategies with speed, scale, and precision.


The Systematic Crypto Trading team runs fully automated, mid- and high-frequency strategies across digital asset markets, trading 24/7 around the globe. To support this, we are looking for an engineer with deep expertise in C++ and a passion for building robust, high-performance distributed systems.


This is not an ordinary engineering role: the systems you build will directly power live trading strategies with global impact, requiring extreme reliability, low latency, and seamless scalability. You’ll collaborate daily with quantitative researchers and traders, shaping the tools and infrastructure that drive next-generation systematic strategies.


What You’ll Do

* Architect, design, and implement mission-critical trading systems for systematic digital asset strategies.
* Build and optimise market data pipelines, execution algorithms, and portfolio infrastructure in modern C++.
* Develop distributed, high-availability systems that meet strict latency and reliability demands.
* Work closely with researchers to turn ideas into production-ready trading tools.
* Own the full software lifecycle—from design through deployment and on-call support.
* Continuously innovate to improve performance, resiliency, and scalability.


What We’re Looking For

* 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 5 years in modern C++ (C++17/20 strongly preferred).
* A proven track record of building complex, mission-critical distributed systems.
* Deep understanding of concurrency, memory management, and type systems in C++.
* Hands-on experience with low-latency, high-throughput systems in production.
* Strong grasp of networking protocols, systems tradeoffs, and numerical/statistical methods.
* Prior exposure to trading or financial systems strongly preferred.
* Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work closely with researchers and traders.
* Self-motivated, with the drive to turn high-level requirements into production-ready systems.


Nice to Have

* Familiarity with Python for research and C++ integration.
* Direct collaboration experience with quant researchers.
* Knowledge of machine learning concepts and model lifecycles.
* Exposure to functional programming or immutable design principles.
* Hands-on experience with Cython or bridging C++ and Python stacks.


Why Join

* High impact: Your engineering will directly shape systematic crypto trading strategies.
* Autonomy: Real ownership to design, build, and innovate.
* Scale: Operate across global markets, 24/7.
* Culture: Work alongside world-class engineers, researchers, and traders solving highly complex problems.


This is an opportunity to apply your expertise in C++ and distributed systems to one of the most competitive environments in the world: systematic, high-frequency crypto trading.
