My client, an investment manager specialising in systematic trading are looking for a talented Linux Engineer to join their high-performance low latency platform team.
You’ll collaborate with some of the industry’s top developers, quants, and platform engineers, helping to design, deploy, and refine deterministic, microsecond-level systems.
If you thrive in the Linux ecosystem, enjoy solving kernel-level challenges, and want to push bare-metal systems to their limits while writing performance-critical code, this could be the role for you.
Requirements
* Demonstrated capability working in low-latency domains where timing is paramount.
* Practical exposure to data-path acceleration methods that avoid conventional kernel boundaries.
* Skilled in interpreting hardware-level performance signals and applying profiling/analysis tools for deep system diagnostics.
* Proficiency in at least one mainstream programming language.
* Solid grasp of modern CPU microarchitectures and their performance implications.
* Familiarity with precise time-synchronisation mechanisms (e.g., PTP) and the examination of packet traffic at scale.
* Experience automating infrastructure through configuration/orchestration frameworks such as Ansible, Terraform, or Python is a plus.
Given the client boasts a very collaborative environment where you'll work closely with a number of different teams, this position will require you to be in office at least 4 days p/w in London.
