Senior C++ Developer

WHAT YOU’LL DO

As a Software Engineer, you will be responsible for setting architectural direction for parts of our system, delivering large bodies of well-engineered code and owning projects that directly impact Optiver’s cutting-edge trading systems. You will collaborate with fellow Engineers, Traders and Researchers to develop a deep understanding of trading, exchanges and what the 'machine' is doing. You're not attached to tools and technologies, you focus on solving problems. Your challenge is to further innovate and maintain the foundation underlying our wider infrastructure.

Some of the things you could be involved in are:

• Own the design, development and deployment of services that comprise our globally distributed trading platform
• Build partnerships across the business to ensure we're feeding the best ideas into our solutions
• Build automated trading stack that runs machine learning models over high-performance servers to execute high-quality trades in low-latency
• Continuously improve our trading systems and strategies to optimize for the ever-evolving markets

The difference with technology at Optiver is how fast the pace is, and the direct impact it has on trading. Where traditional software development teams can take months or years to build systems from business requirements, our developers work closely with traders to ensure a short development life cycle and quick feedback on the impact of your work.

WHO YOU ARE

• You have at least 5 years’ work experience as a Software Engineer
• Experience with large scale server side development, and high-throughput, low-latency system optimisations
• Practical experience with integrating ML model into production system and optimize ML inference tasks on different hardware accelerators
• Technologists who are passionate about software and not only like to learn about it at work, but also like to get involved in their own projects at home
• Natural problem solvers who love nothing more than tackling a complex technical challenge
• Team players who love working with like-minded peers and are always looking to learn and improve
• Experience with making architectural recommendations on IT solutions, design & approach

WHAT YOU’LL GET

At Optiver, we have a very flat structure. We work extremely closely with our stakeholders, often working as a single team to solve Optiver’s problems. Individually, you are very highly empowered to deliver significant changes, with the support of your team and your leaders. Above all we value the passion of our technical team and foster a collaborative and innovative working environment which nurtures brilliant minds.

In return for your expertise, you will be offered a competitive salary package as well as access to a plethora of Optiver-perks.
