Global Analytics within TP ICAP is a specialised technology team which is responsible for developing and maintaining price discovery and analytical solutions, that support the Front Office and clients across multiple asset classes.

Role Overview

As a C++ Software Engineer at TP ICAP you will develop and maintain high-performance C++ systems that power price discovery and analytical solutions across multiple asset classes. Working alongside Senior and Principal Engineers, you will take part in the analysis, design, development and testing of new features and changes, and see them through to production. You will also work directly with end users, including the quant team and brokers on the desk, to understand their needs and turn them into working software. Our codebase spans legacy and modern C++, so you will help keep established systems stable while contributing to an ongoing effort to modernise them.

  • Work directly with end users (quants and brokers) to deliver what they need

  • Degree in a technical subject or equivalent industry experience
  • Around 2–3 years' commercial C++ experience
  • Proficiency in modern C++ (C++11/14/17 or later)
  • Solid understanding of the STL, memory management, RAII and pointer semantics
  • Comfortable communicating directly with non-technical users
  • Comfortable using debuggers and diagnostic tools to investigate issues
  • Willingness to work in a mixed legacy and modern codebase
  • Growth mindset and eagerness to learn from experienced engineers
  • Experience of the software development lifecycle in a technical role
  • Familiarity with unit testing (for example Catch2 or similar)

Desired

  • Experience with performance profiling and optimisation
  • Experience packaging and distributing libraries (for example NuGet)
  • A general-purpose scripting language (such as Python, Perl or Ruby)
  • Windows PowerShell or Linux shell experience
  • Exposure to other languages such as C#, Java or Python
  • Awareness of secure coding practices (SAST)

Why it works

3×

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.
