C++ Engineer for High-Performance Trading Systems

We are partnering with several of the most prestigious buyside firms globally — including elite hedge funds, quantitative trading firms, and proprietary research groups — to hire exceptional C++ Engineers for their high-performance technology teams.

These firms operate at the forefront of systematic trading, research, and real-time market execution. Engineering sits at the core of their business, and C++ developers play a critical role in building the ultra-fast, highly distributed systems that power multi-billion-dollar investment strategies worldwide.

You do not need finance experience.

If you are strong in modern C++ and passionate about performance, systems engineering, and solving hard technical problems, they want to speak with you.

Full relocation support and visa sponsorship to Singapore/APAC are available.

What You’ll Work On

Depending on the team, you may contribute to:

• Ultra-low-latency trading systems running at microsecond speeds
• High-throughput distributed platforms supporting global market connectivity
• Pricing, risk, and analytics engines used for real-time decision-making
• High-performance compute frameworks for research, simulation, and data processing
• Core infrastructure: networking, Linux systems, compilers, concurrency, and runtime optimization

You’ll collaborate with world-class engineers, quants, and researchers, where every line of code has meaningful impact.

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have:

• Strong modern C++ expertise (C++14/17/20)
• Deep understanding of data structures, algorithms, memory management, and concurrency
• Experience building high-performance or real-time systems
• Strong Linux proficiency
• Passion for performance, optimization, and writing clean, efficient code

Nice to Have (Not Required):

• Experience in low-latency or distributed systems
• Background in gaming, telecom, HPC, robotics, embedded systems, or similar performance-critical environments
• Familiarity with networking protocols, multithreading, lock-free programming, or hardware-level optimizations

Finance experience is not necessary. Many of the best engineers in these teams come from non-financial backgrounds.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Work on technically demanding, mission-critical engineering challenges
• World-class compensation packages
• Global mobility options (Asia, US, UK, Europe)
• Visa sponsorship and full relocation support provided
• Exceptionally strong engineering culture; small, high-impact teams
• Access to cutting-edge compute, hardware, and research environments

If you’re a C++ engineer who thrives in high-performance environments and wants to solve challenging real-world problems at scale, please send your CV to dhiresh.buxani@bahpartners.com.

We specialize in placing top-tier engineering talent into leading hedge funds, trading firms, and financial institutions across APAC, the US, and Europe. Reach out to learn more.
