About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior C++ Developer (VP level) to join our Market Access Technology team at a leading global financial institution in Hong Kong. This is a high-impact role within our front-office trading infrastructure, responsible for designing and maintaining the systems that connect directly to global exchanges and deliver real-time market data to our trading desks.

This is a hands-on, senior position where you will act as both a technical architect and a mentor within a team of 10 C++ engineers. You will design, develop, and optimize market connectivity solutions, pre-trade risk systems, internal matching engines, and position inventory management tools—all built with a focus on high-performance, low-latency, and resiliency.

This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of mission-critical systems that directly impact the firm's electronic trading business across APAC.

What You Will Do

  • Drive Technical Strategy & Architecture: Lead architectural decisions for the entire market access stack, including network infrastructure, colocation setup, and system optimization—ensuring high-performance, low-latency, and resilient distributed systems.
  • Build High-Performance Exchange Connectivity: Develop and maintain direct exchange connections for market data and order execution—working with proprietary exchange protocols and standard messaging formats such as FIX.
  • Provide Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Guide and mentor junior engineers, conduct code reviews, set engineering standards, and promote best-practice development across the team.
  • Drive Continuous Delivery & Automation: Build automated tests and enhance tooling for automated builds and deployments, supporting the team's Continuous Delivery approach.
  • Collaborate with Trading Desks & Stakeholders: Partner with traders, quant researchers, and infrastructure teams to understand business requirements and deliver robust, reusable solutions.
  • Troubleshoot & Optimize Complex Systems: Investigate and resolve production issues, optimize system performance, and ensure 24/7 reliability of market access systems.

What We Look For In You

Essential Requirements:

  • 10+ years of relevant experience building trading systems, market connectivity, or market data platforms—whether at an investment bank, proprietary trading firm, buy-side institution, or crypto trading firm.
  • Deep expertise in C++ development with solid experience across C++11/14/17/20 (or later), including multi-threading, concurrency, and template metaprogramming.
  • Strong Linux systems knowledge with hands-on experience in network programming, socket programming, and low-level infrastructure.
  • Proven experience building market connectivity systems with direct exchange integration—including knowledge of exchange proprietary protocols, FIX, or other market data/order execution protocols.
  • Architectural mindset—able to make strategic technical decisions, design resilient distributed systems, and contribute to infrastructure planning (including colocation setup).
  • Leadership and mentoring capabilities—experience mentoring junior developers, conducting code reviews, and setting engineering standards.
  • Excellent communication skills in English, with the ability to collaborate effectively with trading desks, infrastructure teams, and global stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications (Not Mandatory):

  • Experience with C++20/23 and modern metaprogramming techniques
  • Knowledge of network adapters, CPU architectures, and kernel-bypass solutions
  • Python scripting skills for automation and tooling
  • Previous experience in a front-office trading environment
  • Understanding of market microstructure, exchange behavior, and order book dynamics

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
