As a Senior C++ Developer at Data Intellect, you will focus on developing Front Office Trading software, primarily working within the market data development teams. You will gain exposure to the full software stack, using modern development tools and concepts to deliver high quality, best practice software solutions. This will involve working on the end-to-end development of low latency software components written in C++. Project responsibilities will range from Design, Architecture and Development of greenfield projects to maintenance, latency tuning and enhancements. You will have the opportunity to take the lead on projects, mentor and support junior members of the team, and have a key input in the development of the team moving forwards.

Qualifications:

We’re hiring C++ Low Latency Engineers who thrive on solving real-time performance challenges. If you know what it takes to build a high-performance feed handler — and you obsess over every microsecond from network packet arrival to order book update — we want to hear from you!

  • Expertise in UDP Multicast & TCP feed handling
  • Direct experience with kernel bypass technologies
  • Deep understanding of accelerated message parsing
  • Ability to design lock-free, zero-copy data pipelines
  • Strong grasp of CPU affinity, NUMA optimisation & real-time tuning
  • Experience with low-latency shared memory
  • Hands-on with PTP time synchronisation and nanosecond time stamping
  • Comfortable in environments where failure recovery & gap detection are mission-critical
  • Pragmatic about asynchronous logging and performance profiling under real-world loads

This is not your average C++ role — you’ll work at the heart of real-time financial markets, where performance isn’t a bonus — it’s everything. If you live for that blend of deep technical challenge, relentless optimisation, and real-world impact, apply today or contact us directly to start the conversation.

What we offer:

  • Flexible working– we offer hybrid working so our people can achieve that elusive work/life balance.
  • Professional development– we offer extensive training, ranging from leadership to specific technical skills.
