About the role
A global trading firm is hiring a Quantitative Developer to join its high-frequency futures team as they expand their strategies to encompass newer machine learning techniques. The existing team is comprised of engineers from leading hardware and trading firms. You will sit between research and engineering. You will work with quant researchers to build and deploy high-frequency futures strategies, from idea to live trading. You will study how orders move prices, write fast production C++ and build the tools that let the team test ideas at scale. Speed is the edge.
What You Will Do:
You will report into senior research-engineering leadership. Your work goes straight from hypothesis to live trading.
You will work with quant researchers to build and deploy high-frequency futures strategies, from idea to live trading.
You will study how orders move prices, write fast production C++ and build the tools that let the team test ideas at scale.
Skill SetYou need expert C++, deep knowledge of memory, caches and concurrency, and strong maths and statistics.
Python knowledge with trading or exchange experience is preferred. Strong systems engineers with a proven interest in markets will be considered.
Curiosity about markets is essential. Candidates who see this as just another C++ job do not progress.
Most engineers in trading support the research. Here you are part of it, on a small team where your work is seen at the top.
Pre-Application:
This is a full-time, on-site role based in Miami; fully remote candidates will not be considered.
Applicants must have the right to live and work in the US, or be eligible for sponsorship.
Please ensure you meet the required experience prior to applying.
Allow 1-5 working days for a response to any job enquiry.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
