Job details:
Location: Mumbai
Position Overview:
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Developer / Senior Quantitative Developer to take ownership of core systems that power our high-frequency trading strategies. The role is centered on hands-on, performance-critical C++ engineering, with significant scope to contribute to strategy execution, monitoring, and performance analysis. We are open to candidates from a pure low-latency systems background as well as those with prior quant or markets exposure; we’ll invest in onboarding you on the markets side if needed.
Key Responsibilities:
Engineering & Systems Ownership:
- Own production-quality, latency-critical C++ for our trading systems. Write the code that determines whether a strategy is profitable.
- Own end-to-end latency budgets across order entry, market data, and risk; profile, identify bottlenecks, and design changes that move the numbers.
- Design and build new infrastructure: backtesting and simulation tooling, exchange connectivity, real-time monitoring, and alerting.
- Partner with quant researchers to take new ideas from prototype to production, and with the FPGA / hardware team to extend what runs in silicon.
Strategy Performance & Analysis:
- Investigate P&L drivers on tick-by-tick data; identify what works, what doesn’t, and why.
- Design and run A/B tests for strategy and execution improvements; build the reporting and attribution that lets the team see what is happening.
- Implement risk controls and position limits informed by quantitative analysis, in close collaboration with the quant team.
Production Reliability:
- Keep production trading systems running smoothly across sessions: starts, stops, intraday adjustments, and incident response.
- Build the observability and tooling that make anomalies obvious and recoverable, not heroic.
Educational Background:
- B.Tech / Dual Degree (B.Tech + M.Tech or 5 year integrated M.Sc) from a premium IITs (any branch).
- Candidates from non-IIT institutions are welcome to apply if they can demonstrate either (a) meaningful production experience in a quant developer role at a trading firm, or (b) extraordinary achievements in low-latency programming, such as kernel-bypass networking, lock-free systems, hardware-aware C++ optimisation, or FPGA-based trading or networking infrastructure.
Professional Experience:
- 5+ years of hands-on experience building low-latency, performance-critical C++ systems on Linux. Strong command of modern C++ (C++17 / 20), multithreading, memory and cache behaviour, and profiling tools.
