Software Engineer (Low-Latency C++)
About This Role
Software Engineer (Low Latency C++) - HFT Firm - Dubai
I'm working with an elite HFT firm in Dubai hiring a strong mid-level C++ Engineer to join their core trading infrastructure team.
- Engineering team of ICPC World Finalists and ex-Big Tech architects
- Tech-first, open-collar culture - the code speaks louder than the title
They need a sharp C++ engineer to help build and optimise the low-latency systems that power their trading operation.
What you'll be working on:
- Designing and implementing high-performance, low-latency trading systems in modern C++ (17/20)
- Optimising the full trading stack for maximum throughput and reliability
- Architecting scalable solutions for market connectivity, order execution, and risk management
- Working directly on core infrastructure - your code has a direct line to trading performance
What they're looking for:
- Strong C++ development experience - strong STL, memory management, and concurrency
- Strong academic background in Computer Science or Engineering
- Deep understanding of distributed systems, network protocols, and OS internals
- HFT or prop trading experience desirable - but world-class engineers from any background considered
What's on offer:
- Exceptional, highly competitive compensation package
- Relocation support to Dubai - tax-free environment
- Engineering-led culture with zero bureaucracy
- Work alongside some of the sharpest low-latency engineers in the industry
If you write tight, performant C++ and want to work on systems that actually matter - this is the role.
If you are interested, please apply! Alternatively, feel free to reach out to david@durlstonpartners.com for a confidential discussion.
