Role: Quant Developer (C++)
Location: On-Site in Dubai (relocation + visa is supported)
Salary: Up to $280k + performance bonus + internal fund investment
A leading global trading firm, operating high-performance systems and latency-sensitive strategies is expanding its C++ Quant Engineering Team. We’re looking for an experienced Quant Developer to build, optimise, and maintain strategy code that powers real-time trading used by world-class traders and researchers.
This is a rare opportunity to sit directly between quant research, trading logic, and high-performance C++ engineering, with full ownership over production strategies that directly impact trading performance and P&L.
You’ll work in a deeply technical environment that values precision, speed, clean engineering, and tight collaboration with traders.
What You’ll Do
- Deep-dive into existing strategies and internal low-latency infrastructure
- Maintain and improve performance of live trading strategies through refactoring, profiling, and optimisation
- Collaborate with quant researchers to translate models into production-ready C++ (17/20) implementations
- Design and implement new trading strategies with ultra-low-latency execution in mind
- Own latency-critical components across the stack to reduce tick-to-trade times
- Use monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana) to observe live behaviour, latency, and P&L signals
The ideal candidate will:
- Have a strong quantitative foundation: algorithms, statistics, financial math, and data structures
- Bring experience with trading systems, market microstructure, or high-frequency/low-latency strategy work
- Be highly proficient with modern C++ (17/20) and performance-driven systems engineering
- Demonstrate strong understanding of multithreading, concurrency, and lock-free programming
- Have experience with real-time monitoring/observability tools
- Understand networking concepts (TCP/UDP, Multicast, FIX) — a bonus
- Hold a degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or similar quantitative discipline
- Show high initiative, attention to detail, and the ability to own complex systems end-to-end
- Thrive working closely with traders and researchers in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment
If this Quant Developer opportunity sounds of interest, please apply to the advert and I will be in touch!
