Software Engineer – C++ Trading Automation
Hedge Fund | Manhattan (On-site)
This firm has a deep engineering and research culture and is a small, non-factory environment where the majority of employees are long-tenured. They are making a major push on trading automation and are looking for a software engineer with a deep understanding of C++ internals, familiarity with typecasting, and a very low error rate in both coding and operational work.
While the role includes a significant operational component, it offers the chance to wear multiple hats, gain exposure to front-office trading, and directly influence P&L. You will build and maintain C++ trading and execution systems, automate workflows across trading and operations, and collaborate closely other team members to see your work impact live systems.
This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in high-ownership, high-stakes environments, care about precision, and want to be deeply involved in both the technical and operational engine of a systematic trading desk.
