Description

Senior C++ Engineer - High-Performance Trading Systems

We're working with a global financial brokerage building mission-critical trading and analytics platforms used across international financial markets.

This is a hands-on engineering role for a senior C++ developer who enjoys working close to the metal - diagnosing crashes, optimising performance, and improving the resilience of Real Time systems.

What you'll be doing:

  • Deg and building low-latency C++ applications
  • Investigating and resolving production crashes
  • Performing deep debugging (call stacks, memory issues, threading)
  • Optimising multi-threaded, Real Time systems
  • Collaborating with engineers, QA, DevOps, and business users
  • Mentoring junior developers and raising engineering standards

What we're looking for:

  • Strong commercial experience in modern C++ (11/14/17)
  • Background in performance-critical systems
  • Hands-on experience with debugging and crash analysis
  • Solid understanding of concurrency, memory management, and optimisation
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, production-focused environments

Hybrid working, long-term platform ownership, and genuinely complex engineering challenges.

McGregor Boyall is an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on any grounds.
