Flow Traders Hong Kong is looking for a Senior C++ Software Engineer to lead the next-generation architecture of the market data and execution platforms that power our fully systematic trading. We don’t treat market data as plumbing - for us it’s a source of alpha, where feed handling, order book construction, and a deep understanding of exchange microstructure are themselves a competitive edge. We’re looking for a senior individual contributor who has lived this philosophy in a proprietary or systematic trading environment and can squeeze every nanosecond out of the path from wire to strategy.
As a senior individual contributor, you’ll be working on the Core Platform that underpins quantitative research, pricing, strategy development, and execution across hundreds of venues. You’ll work in a tight, iterative loop with quants and technical traders, applying deep expertise in modern C++, OS internals, CPU and memory architecture, lock-free concurrency, and low-latency networking to push our systems toward state-of-the-art performance, robustness, and observability.
