C++ Engineer – ML/AI Infrastructure (HFT)

Description

A leading proprietary trading firm is seeking a C++ Engineer to join its ML/AI infrastructure team. The firm operates at the forefront of high-frequency trading, with a strong focus on leveraging machine learning to drive trading strategies and execution.

This role sits at the intersection of high-performance systems engineering and machine learning, with a focus on building the infrastructure required to support large-scale model training and ultra-low latency inference in production trading environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop high-performance C++ systems to support ML model training, deployment, and inference

  • Build and maintain scalable data infrastructure handling large volumes of real-time and historical market data

  • Optimize system performance across CPU, memory, and network layers

  • Work closely with quantitative researchers and ML engineers to productionise models

  • Contribute to distributed systems design for large-scale training and inference workloads

  • Enhance system observability, monitoring, and reliability

Required Skills

  • Strong experience in C++ development within performance-critical environments

  • Deep understanding of low-latency systems, multithreading, and memory management

  • Experience working with ML/AI infrastructure (e.g. model pipelines, training systems, inference frameworks)

  • Familiarity with distributed systems and high-throughput data processing

  • Strong Linux systems knowledge

Preferred Qualifications

  • Background in HFT, electronic trading, or other latency-sensitive domains

  • Knowledge of networking concepts such as TCP/UDP, kernel bypass, or RDMA

  • Experience working with ML frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow at a systems level

  • Exposure to hardware acceleration (GPUs, SIMD, FPGAs)
