This is an on-site role in Central London. In addition to the advertised base, this fund offers market-leading total comp with strong bonuses on offer.
Requirements:
Excellent C++ Programming ability - you will have 3+ years of experience working in a low-latency/high throughput environment
Expert with Windows-based development with proven experience with STL, MFC, Wx Widgets or Win32
Advanced knowledge of distributed systems
Linux Red Hat essential
