High-performance trading. Greenfield. Low-latency.
We’re building a new trading platform from the ground up, fast, stable, and built to scale across traditional and digital markets.
It’s a team of engineers obsessed with latency, efficiency, and clean design: no legacy systems, no red tape, just absolute ownership and real impact.
The system connects directly to NSE, BSE, MCX, CME, Gift City, and leading crypto exchanges, blending low-latency infrastructure with modern architecture.
If you like working close to the metal, solving complex problems, and writing C++ that actually moves markets, this is the kind of work that stays with you.
What You’ll Build
- Core trading infrastructure in modern C++ (17/20)
- Event-driven systems processing high-throughput market data
- Exchange adapters across global and crypto venues
- Multithreaded, latency-sensitive components tuned for performance
- Full-stack performance profiling and optimisation
What You Bring
- 2–5 years of professional C++ (11 or later) experience
- Solid understanding of low-latency or real-time systems
- Deep comfort with multithreading, networking, and memory management
- Interest or experience in trading systems or exchange connectivity (FIX, CME, NSE, crypto APIs)
- Precision, persistence, and a taste for clean, efficient code
Nice to Have
- Hands-on with Linux, performance tools, and system-level tuning
- Understanding of market data, order types, and trading lifecycles
Why Join
- Build from zero, nothing inherited, everything matters
- Direct line to traders and quants, ideas move fast
- Tight team, zero politics
- Base: Mumbai or Dubai (relocation supported)
- Compensation: strong base, serious upside
If you want to work on systems that trade at scale in markets that never sleep, let’s talk.
