Role: C++ Software Engineer
Location: London
Compensation: Total Package Up to £400,000
Sector: Financial Technology
Overview
We’re currently engaged with a high-performing, technology-led organisation within the financial space, looking to hire a talented C++ Engineer to join their London team. This is an opportunity to work in a deeply technical environment alongside some of the industry’s strongest engineers, contributing to the build-out of highly optimised, large-scale systems.
You’ll be part of a fast-moving team focused on developing next-generation platforms where performance, efficiency, and scalability are critical. The role offers real ownership, with the chance to influence both system design and broader technical direction.
What you’ll be doing
* Designing and developing high-performance systems using C++ (with some Python where required)
* Building and integrating microservices within a distributed architecture
* Working on platforms that process significant volumes of data with low latency requirements
* Collaborating with engineers and stakeholders to deliver robust, scalable solutions
* Playing an active role across the full development lifecycle, from concept through to deployment
What they’re looking for
* Strong hands-on experience with C++ in a commercial setting, alongside exposure to Python
* Experience designing or consuming RESTful services within microservice-based architectures
* Background working on large-scale or high-throughput systems
* Previous exposure to financial services is beneficial, but not a prerequisite
* Strong academic foundations, ideally in Computer Science or a related field
