We are working with a very well-backed prop trading firm in Dubai, who are looking for C++ Trading Engineers, to build their next-generation trading platform. You will be developing low-latency systems with an event-driven architecture, with direct connectivity to major global exchanges.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with a dynamic team to design and develop a brand-new trading platform from the ground up.
• Implement low-latency, event-driven systems in C++ and Python, ensuring optimal performance and scalability.
• Build and maintain exchange adapters and connectivity solutions for markets (US, Europe, APAC, Crypto etc)
• Apply parallel programming and concurrency techniques to handle high data throughput and low-latency requirements.
• Utilise TDD methodologies to ensure clean, maintainable, and reliable code.
• Work closely with the architecture team to integrate real-time data feeds, order processing, and trade execution in an event-driven framework.
• Monitor and improve system performance, troubleshooting and optimising as needed to ensure ultra-low latency and stability.

Key Requirements:

• Experience with modern C++, proficiency in building and optimising low-latency systems.
• Event-Driven Architecture – hands-on experience with event-driven design patterns, including experience with message brokers and real-time data processing.
• Low Latency and Parallel Programming – familiarity with multithreading and concurrency, ideally within trading or real-time systems.
• Python Skills – competency in Python for automation, scripting, and data processing tasks.
• Exchange Connectivity – experience with FIX protocol and building adapters.
• TDD – proven experience in applying TDD principles to write clean, testable code.
• Troubleshooting and Performance Tuning – strong debugging skills and experience optimising for ultra-low latency.
